Works Great!,
March 21, 2007
By bison
from dallas, texas
"I had been looking at an auto-darkening helmet for a couple of months and had planned on buying another one for about $250.00 when I saw this one. I bought one online and received it yesterday.
I welded about 4 hours with it and can say that this is a great helmet-response time is extremely fast and being able to see where you are starting the bead is great!
The sensitivity setting is a great feature and the head suspension/attachment system is very comfortable and stable.
I would have to say that this is the best welding helmet I have seen to date, especially when you consider the low price."

Don't go welding without this!,
November 5, 2009
By Anonymous
from nc
"This helmet is fantastic. The color of the auto-darkening lens may be something you are not used to if you have never used one, but it only takes milliseconds to adapt! Works great! Love it that I don;t have to flip down the hood (or lens) in order to weld. Just strike a spark and get on with business. Won't go on the job without one now. Great with MIG, TIG and stick."

High Priced Features In a Economical Package!,
November 4, 2009
By Freebird
from Dalton,Ga
"I purchased this helmet at the beginning of fall semester for a welding class i was beginning and let me tell you, not very many tools impress me ,but this one has . The old adage "you get what you pay for" certainly does not apply to this helmet. You get way MORE than you pay for. It has really been great! It has shade adjustment,reaction and sensitivity adjustments as well. A friend of mine has one that is similar, but a higher priced brand and he paid twice as much and its a fixed auto darkening shade. That can be a pain when you need to lighten or darken the shade if you are using heavier rods on the arc welder or if you want to do some TIG or MIG welding. This helmet is truly a bargain while providing comfort features that you usually only see on Holox,Miller , Lincoln and other high end helmets and for a fraction of the price. It also has a padded band for your forehead that uses velcro to make cleaning a breeze. Dis assembly for cleaning or replacing the protective lens is also easy. It also comes with an extra replacement exterior lens as well. This product is worth twice the asking price right out of the box. No assembly was required and it was ready to use as soon as i unpacked it."

No reason not to love it,
November 2, 2009
By rye425
from Suffield, CT
"This has to be one of those top purchases which make you feel good everytime you use it. Simply put the helmet on and in the down position and your ready to weld. No more missing your starts. Competitors cheap-o helmets don't even come close in price/quality that this delivers. If your buying your first welder or are in need of a replacement mask this is your baby."

Lightweight helmet,

"I love not only how "light" the helmet is, but also the fact that I can look down while welding without it "bottoming-out" on my chest. The shorter chin area is probably my favorite feature. I like it so much, I disassembled it, removed the sticker decals, custom painted it, and reassembled."

"As a new welder, I wanted to find a good auto darkening helmet at a value price. This helmet has exceeded my expectation. It is made of high quality and is adjustable to fit any head. It performs as advertised and has held up well to my learning sessions and projects over the last 3 months!"

Auto-Darkening Helmet,
November 2, 2009
By scotch960
from Richardson, TX
"I had wanted an auto-darkening helmet for some time but didn't want to come off the money. When my kiddo showed interest in spending time with me in the garage, it was time for another helmet. Wasn't planning on spending the extra $ for an auto-darkening helmet but the price was too good to pass up. The only regret is I didn't buy one sooner - I'll never go back to a cheapo again. Not using the auto-darkening helmet is like going back to the stone-age. I can position or hold what I'm welding, get the torch tip where I need it, etc. - no guessing. Was a little concerned about flash burn but after a year of use, haven't had a single problem or regret.
I have since bought a second one for my kiddo."

Welding Helmet Lets You See, Not Grope in the Dark,
October 20, 2009
By DaleR
"This helmet has made welding an easy exercise. No more groping in the dark to strike an arc! I weld infrequently for ranch projects and want to get the jobs done easily and well. The jobs are much easier now. And, because I can better see the work, the welds are better. The helmet adjusts easily, is comfortable, and best of all lets me see what I am doing at all times. The sensitivity adjustment to allow fine tuning to just the right brightness is a bonus. I should have bought this helmet earlier and recommend it with no hesitation."

By pmwood

"I ordered the Solar-Powered Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet along with the Steiner welding sleeves for my two Welders here at work they love them the comfort and ease of working with this helmet and the sleeves are by far the best experience they have had with any welding equipment they have. Me and my guys would recomend this helmet and sleeves to everyone who has to weld. I will be purchase all of my wedling equipment from Northern Tool & Equipment in he future."

Solar power Auto darkening Welding helmet,
October 19, 2009
By Kosa
from Winthrop, MN
"This helmet is great! My husband loves it. It darkens super fast and is everything it claims to be. My husband welds with it at least twice a week on tractor parts so it gets a lot of use and he says, "It's the best helmet I ever owned" I thought a helmet like this would cost a lot more. What a great product with a prices we can be more than happy to pay!"

"After i got very tired of using a flip down (old style) helmet,I decided to get an auto darking helmet. My only reservation was the high price. This helmet has all the features of the much more expensive helmets at a fraction of the cost.
My boss ,who has much more welding experiance than I now wants one of these hehmets for our shop. Great helmet, low price, how can you go wrong?"
