Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Save on Other Welding Protective Gear
I just learn welding at home. The mask supplied with the welder has to be held with one hand, and if I shield myself I cannot see where the electrode is. So it is an iterative process of putting the electrode to the workpiece, creating a spark and then quickly hold the filter in front, hoping the spark is still there ... This welding helmet deals with this very problem! A photo diode is used in combination with an LCD screen to adjust the attenuation to the current spark brightness. So I can see the work piece while I place the electrode, and as soon the spark goes the filter changes it's neutral density according to the irradiation received by the photo cell. Absolute genius! On top of it, both hands are free with wearing this helmet (obviously) on the head. The helmet comes with half a dozen protective plates to exchange the one installed in case sparks ruined the sight. So this product should last a while. I was pleased to see it really works when I tried it out yesterday. According to the manual, the design is also "fashionable". I never thought there was something like fashion in welding gear, and I would not wear it to go out into town (unless I posed as Darth Vader or a bank robber), but it is definitely functional for the workshop.Read full review

I have no previous experience of other helmets; this is my first purchase of said item i.e. have no experience of other helmets for a balance review. Bought it to go along with the purchase of a Clarke, budget end, no gas mig welder. Attracted by the price as I am only a casual user and couldn't really justify spending £50+ The system works well, fascinating really, the helmet is light, robust enough, easily adjustable and comfortable, I have no idea how long it would last under every day using conditions; I suppose much depends on how you look after it. I will look after mine and I am fairly confident in doing this it'll last me a good period. I am satisfied with my purchase; therefore recommended.

Good value for the money . Yes there are some very expensive welding helmets but for the money this is a great bit of kit for starter set up or hobbyist . The only poor bit is the instructions, would have given 5 stars if they had been decent but they are rubbish . The Helmet/Mask comes with plenty of spare protective lens covers. Good tool for little money

Recently purchased a cheap welder to make some bits I needed for the garden. First attempts to weld some supports for netting were frankly rubbish & the hand held visor made the job much more difficult. With the help of this helmet my recent attempts at the same job are ten times better, the ability to see the work immediately before striking an arc makes a huge difference. Brilliant for the price.
