Review on πŸ”₯ Enhance Welding Safety with the Hobart 770890 Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet by Charles Butler

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great auto-darkening helmet for the price!

Love this helmet. I use shade 11 and it works great. It didn't flicker for me as the delay setting is really good. The sensitivity of the light sensor is very good, actually too good to look at a 10W LED bulb to turn it on when looking directly at it. Grinding and looking for sparks turns it on too, but put it in grind mode and it works great. I want grind mode to be available outside of the helmet, not inside the helmet. I usually wear the helmet right on my head for an hour or two when going from welding to grinding and if I had the grinding mode button on the outside it would be easier to switch back and forth rather than just trying to put my fingers in the glove . to switch inside. And since I wear them almost all day, I feel very comfortable on my head. I don't wear a welder's hat. It would be 5 stars if the grinding mode was cheaper. I would give 4.5 stars

Pros
  • Four independent arc sensors provide reliable arc detection
Cons
  • Big and chunky
