Lincoln Welding Hood

A great upgrade from a welding hood ideal for workshop work to a large one for field welding. The 4c lens technology is amazing!

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • High Price

Excellent Visibility - Welding & Soldering

Lo recomiendo bastante, tiene una claridad incomparable y es cómodo al usar; solamente que pesa un poco ya la larga de las 8 horas se siente el cansancio

Pros
  • Excellent Construction
Cons
  • Poor

I am not against weight.

A little heavy, but never mind. It's handy to have a face shield at my job as I'm constantly switching from welding to grinding/grinding around the shop. The rest of the auto dimming is good. Few outbreaks in months of work.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • High price

Excellent quality and value.

For a professional metal sculptor, this is a lot better than constantly switching from a welding helmet to a face shield. It's heavier than a regular helmet, but it's comfortable and the lenses offer the best quality of vision. I bought a clear plastic gloss/wax and wipe down the clear window a few times a week. Much easier and cheaper than changing a clear lens every time it gets scratched/fogged by wiping the dust.

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Damaged

Not the cheapest, but priceless to watch.

There are things I just don't trade and welding gear is one of them for me. The icing on the cake was the versatility of a face shield. Grinding mode is fine, but I generally prefer raising the sensor to clean materials that don't rain bright sparks. I had to adjust the sensitivity of the setting as the default settings created random flash conditions. With one setup, however, I've logged hours of reliable shade performance. It seems to pick up the high frequency start of my TIG torch which is…

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other products
