Review on FORNEY INDUSTRIES 55701 Premier Auto Darkening Helmet - Professional Protection For Welding & Grinding! by Alfred Friedrich

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Clear view - my new review

Compared to my other welding helmet, the view through the lens is as clear as the air around me; when welding, the lens darkens near instantaneously but the resulting image remains sharp. Outside the lens, the helmet is comfortable. My only caveat is that Forney offers sparse instructions - with my purchase nothing was stated about the need to remove the little slips of paper insulating the batteries. I've purchased other Forney welding products; considering the paucity of information provided, I'm glad I already had a little training plus some books.

Pros
  • very good, I am very satisfied
Cons
  • May not fit all head sizes, limiting accessibility.
