TOOLIOM Welding Helmet Solar Power Auto Darkening Welding Mask Adjustable Shade Range 4/9-13 for MIG TIG Stick Welder Mask Blue Eagle

Wow, I had not seen this, as I am not a frequent welder. Sure beats flipping the helmet down and moving the tip. This appears to be solar powered by the arc and darkens the moment you strike the arc. It's a cheapie but does a good job.

The “TOOLIOM Welding Helmet Auto Darkening Solar Powered with Adjustable Shade Range 4/9-13 for TIG MIG ARC Welder Hood Welder Mask” arrived in a timely manner in a labeled cardboard box.  The box contained the fully assembled helmet, a drawstring bag, two spare outside spatter shields, one inside scratch shield, one spare lithium battery and the 15 page manual.  This is an improved "F" Model with a 9 to 13 automatic color indicating filter, a grind setting to hold off the auto darkening, a large solar cell and CR2450 battery to permit long term storage in dark areas.Electric arc welding produces a dangerous, bright light.  Before the electronic age, helmets were exhausting to use and had interchangeable fixed glass filter shades up to grade 16.  This amazing but unobtrusive replacement is as described in online information.The helmet is black ABS plastic, painted in a patriotic flag style.  This serves to remind the user that this is not the traditional, fixed filter, manually  closed helmet.  Two things present challenges to the user.  More importantly, there is no visual indication that the filter setting knob has been left in the "grind" or clear, disabled condition.  I would have preferred a flashing yellow LED placed above the viewing surface to indicate the grind setting.  In addition, you have to keep Grandpa's old fixed helmet to get a 14, 15 or16 shade.  While this challenge is not mentioned in the instructions, a partial solution has been built in.  Inside the helmet, there is a filter holder for old school fixed filters.  I have a automatic filter sized for old helmets that snaps right in.I expect a boost in safety and convenience over my old equipment.  The ability to read the color of the melted metal will improve my results. This helmet is a good value for the money.Enjoy!Highly Recommended.

I like the fancy paint job and the auto darkening seems to work pretty well. The helmet is light and priced right. What I didn't like was the instruction manual which only shows the controls inside the helmet, the "Sensitivity" and "Delay" and "Test" function, which seem to work as described, but the knob on the side of the helmet which turns the darkening feature on and off was not even mentioned. The knob seems to control the amount of darkening, although the range seems small and it is hard to play with and weld at the same time, so I'm not real sure about it. That all said, it works and protects my eyes. The screen is small, but adequate for me. It gets dirty pretty quick from the welding smoke, but maybe as a beginner I hover too close. All in all, it seems to be a good helmet for the money.

I work in the Auto body repair industry and I ordered this welding mask for work and Holy cow does it preform! And not mention this looks amazing all my classmates love it. This mask is light wieght and that's a good thing since I have a injured neck form 2 car accidents. So it beimg light wieght does let put any strain on my neck if am using it for a long period of time while welding body panels on and frame components. When I first ordered it I didn't know what to expect and tbh I was expecting this to be a bulky mask but im so glad that isn't the case. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a welding mask. If you are just getting into welding this is the perfect starter mask or if you need an affordable replacement this is the one for you. Even come with a protective bag!DEFFINATLY A GOOD BUY!

it works the way it is supposed toadustments all work , New Jersey

A+++++++

Thia helmet is bright when you need it and dark when light activated comfortable I use a old baseball cap to protect the back of my neck in between the mask.

The helmet worked good, fits good and is if reasonable price. As you work and sweat, it tends to drain into the auto darkening lens components. Would like to see a better construction and water/sweat proof design for that helmet to ensure consistent eye protection.

Great

Used it for the first time yesterday during plasma cutting, welding and grinding. It does it all. The auto darkening technology is really cool.

Die Maske ist gut, bin zufrieden und bisher funktioniert sie auch immer noch.Nach Verwendung aber das abschalten nicht vergessen, da sonst die interne Batterie irgendwann leer ist...

Bought for my partner, works very well. Definitely recommend.

muy buen casco. funciona de maravilla
