TOOLIOM Large Viewing Welding Helmet True Color Auto Darkening 1/1/1/1 3.94"x 3.27" Welding Mask with Weld/Grind/Cut Mode for TIG MIG Stick

Works great and the price was good... It is nice and clear and makes welding a snap when you can see what your doing well..

Skip to third paragraph if you want the nitty-gritty. I knew that the welding hood/helmet I had been using for the past 14 years wasn't great - it was the popular HF blue flame deal that a lot of people buy. I usually only use my welder once a year or so when a random project pops up, so I made due. This past week, however, I decided to tackle a bunch of welding projects that I had put aside due to just not wanting to use my subpar hood, but these projects weren't going to finish themselves!After firing up my MIG welder and putting on my HF special, it took me about a solid minute to realize that my hood was malfunctioning and wasn't auto-darkening all the way through a weld pass. The next morning I woke up to the dreaded "sand in your eyes" feeling and missed a day of work because of it. It was then that I decided I should probably look to see what the latest hoods were all about. So I hopped on Amazon.True Color? Panoramic? What?! When did these advancements come along? It was a daunting task to wade through all of the options available on here, but in the end I settled on this as-of-yet-unreviewed gem due to the generally positive reviews of this brand and the fact that it had all the bells and whistles - True Color, panoramic view (with all three panels having auto-darken), and an LED light, all for a c-note. I was willing to take a risk since I could always return it if it didn't perform.Let me say that I'm glad I chose this hood and wanted to assure others that this is a great buy! Super easy to use and after lots of use over the past few days, I can tell you that I can now actually see what I'm welding on without fear of burning my eyes.

I feel like I got my moneys worth. Wanted a little more field of a vision. Clarity is nice, no complaints. Instructions are good. Controls, Battery department and lenses are easily accessible so I feel like maintenance won't be a chore. No comment on longevity yet. Only have slight concern for the sensitivity adjustment. The first 80% of it does almost nothing in day light looking right up into the sun or my shop light. The last 20% is most of the fine tuning. I'm not sure if its cause for concern or not. I'm not too impressed with the delay over my $30 dollar bargain brand helmet. It lightens up nearly instantly after a weld and I still have to hold my hand up or look away as the metal cools from bright red over 2 seconds. My other helmet would keep dark until the pool cooled a couple of seconds. As far as reaction time, spot on, no worries of an arc flash to the eyes.That being said, I feel like the features, clarity, fit, ease of working on justify the money spent. Maybe mine didn't have the best QC, or its just working as intended, but I'll round it up from 3.5 to 4 stars, not quite a 3.

My helmet stop working I emailed them they goy back 2 me quickly. And couple days later sent me a replacement. Helmet work great and comfortable

This is an amazing helmet for your shop welder all the way up to the pro welder!!The main view window is large and clear, with only a slight glare on the clear face sheild. The two green side windows are very nice for finding tools or materials on your sides. The SINGULAR downside to this helmet is the forehead control. It's clunky and impossible to change with gloves on, and the helmet needs to be fully removed to change any settings. A small wired remote or a different method of changing settings would be far better. Maybe an app would work great! For this reason I recommend NOT buying this helmet!

Love this helmet it is such an improvement from the old school narrow window type!! Exactly what you need to get started or weld on the job in an automotive shop

I really wanted to give this a higher rating, but negative features I've found on it prevents that.....first.....the lower 'chin' part is too 'short'. As you nod to lower the helmet to start welding. the short chin does not rest low and far enough on your chest that your nose and mouth actually touches the inside surface of the screen. I had to rivet plastic extensions on the 'chin' to extend it....second...I find the headgear plastic perhaps too thin or too soft. It was 'crumpled' from packaging and it seems to have a permanent distorted bend now. I hope the plastic is quality enough not to break....third...as I opened the packaging box from delivery, I found the LED light flashing on ! I feel the on/off switch does not have secure, positive clicks on it; which may have cause the led lights to turn on inside the package. Manually swathing it on and off does not give me a secure positive feeling....fourth...The front protective clear plastic shield is too 'bulging out'. It adds too much bulk on the helmet and I feel that the bulging protrusion makes it susceptible to easier and more scratches. But It does protect the flat main lens. Extra protective lenses were provided...fifth... the controls are outside, great !., but the led light switch and test button are still inside above the lens. still an inconvenience to get to.As far as welding arc protection and visibility is concerned, the lenses are wide, bright and clear. I find however the additional right and left side lenses are useless and perhaps just added expense. The main lens provides enough lateral visibility the side lenses are not necessary.

Packaged well. No shipping damage. All the controls work, it fits, and the lens is clear. This works as well as the Lincoln hood I had for 5 years, at 1/4 the price.
