Works Great!,

"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."

Great Helmet,
November 23, 2008
By WesleyH

"I beat up on this helmet a lot. I am rough with my tools, this helmet has endured a fair share of beatings and falls. The only thing I do is leave it out in the sun for a hour and its ready to go the next day. It doesn't weigh much. I took the flames off because they look silly. The only other thing you really have to check / do , is make sure the shade dial is set to what shade you want. I have had it set to 9 when it really should be 11 and I felt that after. If you find a shade, like 9, and you really like it just take some duck tape and tape it there so it doesn't move around when you handle the helmet.
If you want a cheap helmet that does the job, this one is the best by far."

Solar-Powered Auto-Darkening Helmet,
November 21, 2008
By Tony1234

"Just received this today and went to the shop to try it out. I was amazed at how quickly it darkened. I was able to adjust the shade according to the light conditions in my garage and it has comfortable fit even with my eye glasses on. Would highly recommend this product. I also like the fact that I don't have to dig for batteries every time I want to use it."

A lot of Bang for the Buck!,
November 20, 2008
By choppertown
from Los Angeles

"I would say most , if not all, would agree that this helmet is more than worth the money. When it comes to welding I am far from an expert, so Auto-Darkening is a must. Because my eyes are my number one concern I can't skimp when it comes to safety. The Solar-Powered Auto-Darkening portion seems to be as good as the more expensive helmets. That said, the rest of the helmet seems good, but it doesn't seem it would be too forgiving if I didn't take care of it. This helmet is ideal for the hobbyist welder."

perfect gift,

"I got this for a friend on his birthday. He is very happy with it. It performs excellent
and he is unaware of the fact that it was quite reasonably priced comparing it to one his grandson got which was much more expensive he is sure it is of the same quality. Thank you Northern Tool."

Welding Helmet review,

"I've put off buying a auto-darkening helmet, but my son burnt his eyes trying to use
my old- style helmet under a car. (He is ok). This helmet exceeded my expectations, esp. for the price! I will never go back to the old way."
