TOOLIOMAuto Darkening Welding Helmet True Color Solar Powered Welding Mask with Adjustable Shade 4/9-13 for TIG MIG Stick Flaming Skull Design

Works perfectly. Adjustable tint perfect. A smaller shield but covers. Easy to use.I really like it. Just turn the switch off untill you use it. Then turn it back off. Save the battery that way. If you leave it on it will go dead after a day. .

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.

It was a little tricky on how to figure out when to have it turn on auto darkening. But once we figured it out. It works good and does as it should

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!

I bought this to replace an older (but good quality) dark-glass helmet. Trying to accurately weld thin metal with my MIG welder was proving difficult, requiring small bursts of arc repeatedly. Taking a guess where to begin each time was making foe untidy welds.This helmet is actually lighter weight than the old one whilst still offering the same protection for my face; the head clamp is good and the arm ratchet holds the helmet in place. Don't try doing the flip-down thing by nodding your head though- doesn't work with this helmet. Wouldn't expect it to either.The reaction time is good, the screen goes really quite clear when it's off, and how dark it goes is adjustable. Setting it fully dark makes it too dark to see a 40 amp MIG arc clearly.Overall for occasional use? Most excellent value for money and honestly something I should have bought years ago rather than fight looking through a standard welding mask.

Definitely exceeded my expectations, comfortable and fits great came with a couple extra lenses also

This product did its job fantastically. I used the hood for stick and tig so far and it's done me well.

Overall, this is a very adequate welding hood. Even though I am old school, I am quite satisfied with my choice. My ONLY complaint is: after 40 something years of welding, I have to use a cheater lens and at a standard 4.25 inches wide, they do not fit this hood. It has the place for one, but it is 1/10+ of an inch too small. I got it to work, but only after sanding my lens to fit the holder. The headband adjusts well and the fit is comfortable, maybe a little stiff when flipping it down old style, but not any kind of deterrent. It stays put even when welding on the bottom side, twisted around like a contortionist which is pretty much the ultimate test for the headgear. It claims a #4 setting, which I assume is the grinding selection, but I find I still need to wear shades when cutting with a torch to protect my from light burn. With the fit, it is easy to wear either shades or glasses without binding or pinching. It is really light, much lighter than my old flip hood. That makes it easy to wear for a full day of welding.So do I like it? Absolutely. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Is is perfect? Nah, but close enough.

Good helmet for the price.

Perfetto

Très beau, les couleurs sont vraies. Un peu lourdes. En fait, c'est magnifique

Much easier to use than old style flip up helmets. Reacts quickly when striking at arc - would recommend

Really nice helmet, both inside and outside. Flames makes the welding better!!!
