YESWELDER Large View Auto Darkening Welding Helmet, Blue Light Blocking, 1/1/1/1 True Color Solar Powered Welder Hood Mask with 4 Arc Sensors, Wide Shade 3/5-9/9-13 for TIG MIG ARC CUT and GRIND

This is a quality find at a very reasonable price. I love the very fast bigger screen that will shut itself off when you set it down for 20 minutes. It has the usual electrical adjustments but what is really nice are the four different adjustments to the position of the helmet. I was able to adjust the helmet support so I could have goggles on over my bifocals all of the time I am welding. I can flip it up and grind without getting debris in my eyes. It is light enough, I can wear it for hours and just move through my projects with out taking it off and on.

First time purchase of a welding helmet. I am an online and self taught hobbyist. I wanted an auto darkening, adjustable, reasonably priced unit. This helmet delivers that. Comfortable, not heavy, optics performed flawlessly with a great viewing area that I experienced. The tightening knobs on the sides of the helmet (to keep it flipped up) aren't the strongest in build, but do the job if you crank them down to the point you fear breaking them. Is it "pro" grade? I'd guess that the plastic shroud, headband and tightening knobs are not quite that robust, but the optics seem very much so. Great range of adjustment (I used a 100 watt clear glass incandescent bulb to simulate an arc light for initial testing) with adequate delay and darkness ranges. I've worn "pro" hard hats for quite some time so it's a fair comparison as far as suspension and adjustments. For the price? Fantastic value and I've got around 5 hours of welding (actual arc in use) and have had zero issues with it.

Bought this along with two other Yeswelder helmets and an ArcCaptain helmet. All of which have the larger viewing lens. I needed to see In real time if the helmet would work with my eyeglasses. So I bought all four to try on. My previous helmet was a cheaper YesWelder that had a smaller lens, fogged easily in humidity and I struggled to see my welds. This particular helmet has the same cheaper head strap design and tightening knob in the back. It works for me as a diy welder. The strap on every helmet I bought, arrived warped out of shape. It’s has ample room inside for my prescription glasses. I didn’t choose to keep this helmet but it seemed like a decent option for the price and the black yellow dot design was cooler in person than what I expected. I don’t really care for the yellowish tinted lens. For the price, this is a decent helmet overall. The helmet ended up choosing was the ArcCaptain seen in the last few pics. Better viewing area, more internal clearance, better adjustment knobs. The last pic shows the adjustment straps compared with YesWelder on the left and ArcCaptain on the right. Welded with the ArcCaptain last night and I can finally see my welds clearly.

Bought for my Son, He Loves it, Very good helmet for money, Works as good as the expensive helmets, I would recommend purchasing this item.

EDIT- Im pretty happy to report that yes welder reached out to me to ask me about the product and what happened. They offered me a full refund for the product since it seemed to be defective. They said they were sorry that this was my first impression and they hoped id give them another shot. You just dont see customer service like that anymore. They are apparently monitoring their reviews and taking action when things go wrong. That's almost unheard of these days. They didnt ask me to edit my feedback either. They just said they were sorry that was my first impression and they hoped the refund would convince me to try something else they make. I mean ... thats gold standard customer service thats what we all hope a company will do when we buy their product. For that alone they can have 5 stars back. Im just a hobby welder i fabricate things for me and friends so take my opinion with a grain of salt. HOWEVER, my father who taught me how to weld was a 40 year boilermaker and in the last 10 years of his welding career, an ICAR instructor certified, and the assistant dean of votec at a community college heading...you guessed it...the welding program. So im not coming from total ignorance here. One. The helmet is cheap. Yes thats nice. But its cheap for a reason. Two the head gear on this thing will break almost immediately. I had it for three weeks I think and it broke I used it maybe 4 days in those 3 weeks maybe 5. Which is like ok so immediately spending another 20 bucks at least on top of the cost of this helmet. Three the control knobs on the outside of the mask leave a lot to be desired. They dont stay put well, they are very fiddly and like to move on their own messing with your settings. As well, the selector switch for weld cut grind mode is very very cheaply made so flimsy I almost dont want to swap modes ever for fear of breaking it. 4 the lenses on the big face helmets are like 2 mm different than most which means if ypu aren't careful about lense replacements you end up with a Crack that let's gunk onto your main screen so..either have to get specific lenses or clean it a lot more. Other than that stuff, so far the actual shade seems to work fine. It's not the best it doesn't have the best sensitivity etc but its 50 bucks ya know for what it does it does it fine. It's just the fit and finish leave a lot to be desired. If I did it all again, id get a lincoln viking or a Jackson or hobart or Miller.

My original review was one star because the product broke, but I reached out to them and they took care of me and they sent me a new one so thank you product works phenomenal zero issues sometimes the first tries is not good and you reach out to them and they take care of it so again, thank you for making a great product.

As one ages it gets harder to see and especially when things are darker-this makes being in late 60's and welding a whole new game. I can see, great tint, great size for seeing-this has been a game changer and my early years I paid in the $300's to get a helmet for welding. I hesitated because how can something so cheep really work. Thanks

I bought this helmet because I wanted to learn how to weld, and it has been fantastic for a beginner. It has made the learning curve much less intimidating and has definitely saved my eyes while I practice my beads. The Highlights Massive Viewing Area: The "Large View" screen is no joke. Being able to see more of my workpiece and my surroundings makes a huge difference when you’re still trying to figure out your positioning. True Color Clarity: The 1/1/1/1 optical clarity is excellent. Instead of that old-school lime green tint, you get a much more natural view of the weld puddle. It really helps you see exactly what’s happening with the metal. Fast & Reliable: With 4 arc sensors, the auto-darkening is incredibly fast and consistent. I’ve used it for TIG and MIG, and it hasn't failed to darken once. Beginner Friendly: The external controls for switching between Weld, Cut, and Grind modes are intuitive. It’s great not having to take the helmet off just to clean up a weld with a grinder. Minor Gripes Headgear Adjustability: While the pivot-style headgear is comfortable once you get it right, it can be a little finicky to lock into the perfect position. If you don't get the tension just right, it can occasionally slip forward when you nod your head to drop the mask. Build Material: It’s very lightweight (which is great for your neck), but the plastic shell feels a little "thin" compared to high-end professional hoods. The Verdict For anyone just starting their welding journey, this YESWELDER hood is a home run. It provides professional-level visibility at a price that won't break the bank. It’s been a vital part of my kit as I learn, and I’d highly recommend it to any hobbyist or student welder.

Desde que lo tocas ya se nota la calidad del material, es un plástico rigido, robusto, y los mandos son muy cómodos al tenerlo al exterior, el alojamiento de la pila es muy accesible, y los ajustes del correaje muy comodos, almohadilla en frente y trasero, además con ajuste de mascarilla en la posición final de soldar para llevarlos más abajo o quedarlos más altos, además queda un campo de visión muy amplio, además viene con protectores de recambio y pila también de recambio, los ajustes de sombra y sensibilidad también muy buenos, en definitiva que merece el precio que vale, recomendado.

Na verdade que não gostei muito já teste ela e não e tonalidade que mostra o vendedor
