TOOLIOM Large Viewing 3.94"x3.66" Welding Helmet True Color Auto Darkening Welding Mask Solar Powered Shade 3.5/5-9/9-13 Welder Helmet for TIG MIG Stick Cut Grind

Awesome helmet for the money. Much better than the piece of garbage i bought for the same money a year ago when i purchased my welder

I have been welding for 56 years and have used many different welding hoods. I have never had one that is this comfortable to wear and has such a large view. The quick change lens works perfectly. The headband feels like your mother is cradling your head. The design will keep it on your head in any position. I recommend it over any that I’ve ever used. After sitting idle for about 10 months, the auto darkening feature didn’t work. I replaced the battery and it still didn’t seem to work. It sat with the new battery in it for about 24 hours and now is working like new. I love this hood over any I’ve used. It’s very comfortable and the vision area is great. I am retired from welding for a living and I only do projects in my shop, so it doesn’t get the rough treatment that it would if I were on a job doing tight position welds. For my use, it is perfect. If anyone knows where to get a replacement auto darkening lens for this hood, please let me know. (Hopefully I will not need one)

Works great

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.

My husband said it works great and the hood stays up when needed

Like many of the other reviewers, I was getting by with a 10 year old HF auto-darkening hood. It was not great, but good enough for the occasional MIG and stick welding I was doing. When I recently bought a TIG welder, the inadequacy of the HF hood became obvious. The large viewing area and reliable auto darkening of this helmet are so much better than what I was accustomed to. The head hear is also much more comfortable. Overall, this hood is a great value. I was skeptical given the price, but I am very happy with my purchase.

Had issues tightening it and after a few uses the fasteners for the head strap completely came off. I haven’t bothered trying to fix it yet.

Love this mask big view and very quick and responding

Sold me a faulty helmet. Didn't respond to any emails. Just robbed me

I'm a weekend hobby welder and just used the helmet today. Very nice and comfortable headgear with heavy padding on the back strap. Did not pull out my hair as I find the bare plastic straps tend to do if not wearing a beanie. Stays on my head and very easy to adjust to lower the hood with a quick nod of the head. Came fully assembled with extra battery and front lens covering. Very clear viewing area. Like that all the controls, except the test button are on one side. Much clearer and more comfortable than my older Lincoln hood. I was always needing to adjust the Lincoln and it inevitably would easily fall off my head. Could never seem to get it to stay put. Time will tell how well the Toolium will stay on my head when I'm crawling around underneath a project. The Lincoln has served me well, however the Toolium with its brighter viewing technology will become my primary helmet.

Took a while to adjust the straps, but now fits nicely, does the job well, good value.

Muy práctica y poco peso.

I'm quite happy with this product. It functions as well as any mask of similar type. Very responsive, multiple settings for grinding cutting and welding and they just work. Very comparable to masks from $20-120 more than this one of the same type. Head straps are plastic with padding in the right spots. Very adjustable, good support and are sturdy. They may break eventually but used in a reasonable way I can see this mask lasting me a while. Comes with a spare battery and it just works. So far, my first impressions of using it for 3 days for 5-6 hours a day are good ones.
