Review on Solar-Powered Auto Darkening Professional Welding Helmet W/Wide Lens & Adjustable Shade - DEKOPRO by Shah Nelson

First thing: I'm far from a professional welder. Well, considering I've never been paid for a welding job, that pretty much guarantees I'm not a professional welder, but I like to pretend I am.I've got a small 140 amp Lincoln MIG welder that I mess around with in the garage and lately the auto darkening helmet I purchased from Harbor Freight years ago had started to go on the fritz. It would darken way more than it should to the point of where I could hardly see anything and messing with the dials didn't help any.Although I like to pretend I'm a welder, I didn't want to pretend so much that it meant I had to buy a $400 helmet from Miller with sharks and naked women spray painted on the sides.After searching what Ebay had to offer, I decided on this unit. I like the fact that it has a large viewing area (my old one had a viewing area the size of a matchbook). It's lightweight, and feels good on my head. It's got adjustments for darkness, delay, and sensitivity and they all seem to work just fine.Since receiving the helmet, I've spent about 3 hours welding with it and it's a huge improvement over my old one. It comes with a single, clear cover replacement which is nice. I think I recall another reviewer saying it also comes with a bag, but mine did not--except for the plastic bag it was wrapped in for shipment.For me, this is the perfect welding helmet--auto darkening, large viewing area, and low price. I'm not sure how durable it is, but considering how little I weld, I expect it to last me several years. If welding puts food on your table, you likely have different opinions, but for those like me who just tinker around in the garage, I think this is a great bargain.So far, very impressed with it.
