Exellent Helmet,

"This is an exellent helmet, I use it all the time for the fabication I do. I really like the 9-12 shades this helmet has to offer. It would be great for anyone from beginners to the pros, all welders should have this helmet. The fabication I do involves alot of repairs on equipment and building of trailers and other things and it never lets me down. If your looking for a helmet that is durable and good for all welding, then I suggest getting this one."

Hobart XVS Welding Helmet,
January 21, 2008
By JPetefrom Wichita, KS
"I have been MIG welding for several years, and have gotten pretty good at it, but when I recently got this Hobart welding helmet I COULD FINALLY REALLY WELD! Wow, what a difference it makes to be able to see before striking the arc and not have to nod my head (and misalign my torch) to get the helmet in position. I seriously do not think anything has improved my welding as much or as quickly as this auto darkening welding helmet. Get one -- Try it -- You'll LOVE it!!"

Amazing helmet,

By retiredmechanicfrom Long Island, NY
"I have been using this welding helmet for about 4 years now and it has never let me down. The battery is always charged and ready to go even after sitting for a few weeks of no use. The adjustable darkness is a great feature that I could never go without now that I've used it. Very comfortable, easy to use, and great value. Don't go cheap when it comes to eye protection. Thats one area that you need top quality and reliability, and this helmet delivers."
