Sturdy and simple

Easily and securely flips up for viewing, grinding or use as a face mask. Easily removes the cheat lens. Old school charm. Add an auto-darkening lens. good to go

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Weight

Well-made simple welding helmet

Suitable for helmet, looks solid, works well. If you're looking for a basic, inexpensive, vintage arc welding helmet, you won't find it.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Easy repairability

I'm old school and it looks like old hoods

Great hood, the reason I gave it 3 stars was because the tape that goes on your helmet is cheap and broken was, otherwise it's a good hood.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Protection

Decent helmet - rubbish use

The helmet itself is fine. However, you need to buy another helmet insert. The one that comes with it is basically useless unless you have a watermelon instead of a head.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Difficult to say

Get a comfortable helmet

I love these welding helmets! Very effective and guaranteed to increase productivity when you need to tidy up your work πŸ‘Œ Mine was recently stolen so this made up for it and came with something like a 10 tint lens as well as clear lenses, you'll have to kick your hat back to do it value

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Wrinkled

Not the quality expected.

My husband who has been a welder for over 50 years wanted a new hood. Since his current hood dates from 1971, he expected an improvement. His current hood is also a fiber metal brand. He chose this one because it was the closest thing to his current one. When he arrived he decided his old hood was better, although it had been well used and the edges of some parts of this new fiber metal hood were broken. It has been returned.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks

Cheap hardware and annoying or used

Really good visor, lighter than the Jackson Shadow Flip visor and with speed loop. I use it on a construction site and it holds up great. My only complaint was that I had to take a minute to enlarge the lens slot to accommodate an auto-dimming lens. A year later I had to change my rating, the bolts holding the hinge to the hood got to the point where I can't hold the hood up anymore. The bolts were questionable at first, but today they just gave up and the hood fell apart. Just not worth the…

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have gone for a newer model
