YESWELDER Auto Darkening Welding Helmet, Blue Light Blocking, 1/1/1/1 True Color Solar Powered Welding Hood with 2 Arc Sensors, Wide Shade 3.5/9-13 Welder Mask for TIG MIG ARC and Grind

Worked perfectly for me with an 80 amp wire welder. I find that an auto-darkening helmet is especially important for a novice or occasional user (like me). It was easy to adjust with an external knob for the right dark level to see clearly before and after striking an arc. It comes with spare outer and inner windows and an extra battery. It's light and comfortable to wear but probably not rugged enough for extensive use.

This welding & grinding face shield is high quality, well made, easily adjusted for head fit comfort, and comes with extra battery and both lens protection plastic covers. It was packed well and arrived next day. I decided to reuse the heavy plastic bag it came in to keep it dust free while stored on my welding cart. I’m impressed with how well it works. It quickly darkens, and the recovery time for it to go clear again has plenty of adjustment. I’ve got mine set at the fast side, so I can quickly assess the weld I just made. Shade darkness is easily set with your left had, and the knob is on the outside. The viewing area is small compared to the full face or the new panoramic style, but more than adequate. The shade control also can lock the shade to clear for grinding. Very slick, although I probably won’t use it for grinding. I’ve already used it to TIG weld a project I was working on, and did some 308 SS stick welds with it on another project. I was able to go from stick to TIG with a simple twist of the external darkness knob. Before darkening to weld, viewing is clear and natural looking. You can’t beat this welding shield for the price, and it even allows me to use my respirator with plenty of room between it and the face shield. The only complaint I had was the button battery used to power the shade was dead when it arrived. When I hit the shade test button nothing happened. I figured I would have to send the helmet back, but when I took the cover off the battery I found it incorrectly installed. The battery had draining completely do to this mistake, but I already had a spare supplied with my purchase. A quick swap out (with correct insertion), and it worked perfectly;-).

This helmet worked excellent right out of the box. I say that because I am new to welding, and took the helmet out of the box, and didn't even bother to look at any settings, and started welding and it still worked great. As I continued welding, I was thinking that it'd be great to be able to see a bit better. That's when I realized, that the adjustment knob was at the highest setting so I turned it down a bit and was able to see even better. On to the functionality of the helmet. My biggest question before buying it was how do I turn it on? I know it says "auto darkening" but was curious if there was a button or switch to flip, but you don't have to do anything, it really is automatic. It does a fantastic job of dulling out light as you can see in the video. I've already started adding some soft modifications to it like a headlamp to help with seeing where I am welding and adding a cheater lens as well. Overall, the price is excellent, the helmet offers excellent protection, easy to use, and works great. I couldn't be happier with this purchase.

First I want to say that I am relatively unexperienced in the world of welding. I am not sure if there are safety standards with welding helmets the way that motorcycle helmets are tested for specific crash-test traits. This welding helmet has been fantastic. The auto-darkening feature is GAME CHANGING. I personally like to weld on a bench with other PPE on (turtleneck, apron, etc) so I don't rely on this for anything other than eye protection. Part of that is a general tendency towards safety, and part of that is that I would describe this as flimsy. The mechanism to keep it up over your head instead of in front of your face is a bit tricky/doesn't always hold it too well. The adjustment works well, though. The helmet has a lot of scratches on it after a few months of use. I would not trust this to protect me from large debris, but small beads of molten metal spraying off a messy weld won't be a problem.

Great quality, easy to store! Get the job done!

Great welding hood especially for the price it’s auto darkening comes with extra lens and it’s comfortable to wear even with glasses it’s a no brainer for the price the fit is amazing and from the quality it’s noticeable that it will be durable aswell

Given the price it's a solid helmet, adjusting it and keeping it up can be annoying but it fits well. Lot of adjustability and auto dark works well.

This is the best shield i've ever had

Simple to set up seems appropriate as described ...works well

Yeeeeswelder🔥

Me gusta hacer proyectos ocasionalmente, me gustó el diseño, hubiera estado bien algún diseño bonito a color, no me refiero a una calavera y otra cosa así, algo de buen gusto, pero prefiero así a traer un águila o la bandera de algún pais; Se ve y se siente de buena calidad, trae varios ajustes, también te dice si la batería está baja, los mecanismos para la cabeza me gustaron bastante además de la función a color se ve súper, trae una batería de repuesto y unos protectores de recambio. Estoy muy contento con la compra!

Buena calidad y funciona muy bien
