Does what it's supposed to.I wanted to get a hood like the ones at my school but with designs and I found this one. I'm very pleased, but it took me a few brain cells to figure out why I couldn't see through the lens at first, but I got it LOL.Now I have to figure out what size replacement plastic is needed for the little window when I need them later.
Overall this helmet is awesome. It performs better than my Miller as far as the auto darkening lens goes and the helmet design is cool as a plus. Would be 5 stars but the headgear broke after about 2hrs of welding and flipping the visor up and down. I understand that the helmet is priced affordably but c'mon... One time use headgear at $18 a pop and I start to think maybe I should've went a different direction.
Works great! Crazy considering how cheap it is. Adjustment dials work well and make sense. It can get VERY dark and can change VERY fast so do a few tack welds to dial it in for yourself. I don¡¯t weld for a living. I mostly do small projects or auto body. So I am generally making quick welds a few inches at a time. The reaction speed and darkness level are great. I took the ¡°safe¡± way out and pre set it to max dark at the fastest setting then backed off from there. It was super sensitive and way too dark! Which is perfect! I¡¯d rather have a helmet that gets too dark then not dark enough.
I like this welding helmet it is one of the best helmets i¡¯ve had. This helmet reacts really quick when your welding on the right settings. This helmet does not flash you when your welding the auto darkener works so well. I can see perfectly while i¡¯m welding if i¡¯m going to high or to low and throw nice beads with it i recommend this helmet.
Excelente producto lo recomiendo, es lo que ped¨ª
