ESAB Halo Sentinel A50 Automatic Welding Helmet 0700000800 with Free Accessories

I bought two ,one for each grandson,it was at their request they are both very happy with the purchases as they didnt pay they were gifts as to details I can give none never used them.

This helmet is awesome, works better than expected. The clarity is amazing, honestly from fit up to laying beads i dont have to lift the lid up. Welding with it is even better, it doesnt have a green tint like other helmets and being able to adjust the shade is a big plus when switching between tig, mig, or ark.

Iv had my hood for about 6 months now and here are my thoughts- Overall the hood is ok… the optical clarity is decent and the lens size is average. For as much space there is inside I don’t see why the lens couldn’t be an inch bigger. The hood is extremely comfortable and fits well. It’s easy to work with it on for extended periods of time. It flips down and flips up better then any hood Iv ever used. It is a crisp click when it falls in place. In the 6 months of owning I have done everything from .052 flux to stainless tig. The hood functions well and Iv only had a few cases where the auto darken was delayed by a fraction of a second but still enough to give you ark flash. The sensitivity adjustment makes 0 difference in my “expert” findings but the delay does seem to work as it should. I have had the same batteries in it from when I got it and they are still at a full charge (this is 6 months of welding 8+ hours a day) The plastic is kinda flimsy but still holds up well to the heat (and a few accidental drops) The biggest drawback in my opinion are the covers. They scratch and crack very easily. They also don’t create a full seal so dirt and dust get inside the helmet and scratch the lens. The cost of replacement covers is absolutely ridiculous. A few days of welding flux and the cover is done for. The grind mode works fine but the LED that flashes inside to remind you to not burn your eyes out of your sockets blinks so slow it’s pointless. (Small detail yes but iv flashed myself so many damn times I’m pissed enough to mention it) The touchscreen works about 70% of the time. Clicking something 3 times to get it to work is annoying. (Props for making the grind button mechanical) keep in mind the touchscreen will not work with gloves or if your hands are dirty. Overall this hood is a solid 7/10. It is a bit overpriced but hey you get a Esab logo. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone who only welds flux. More of a solid wire/Tig hood. If you arnt a dumb gen z like me and are able to use a fixed shade id pick up a cheap Jackson instead. Hope this helps!

I weld everyday. This hood has a slight delay in it and has messed my eyes up over the past 2 weeks of use. I will not be using it anymore. The only good thing about this hood is its weight. It’s very light but you will go blind using it…

Great hood!

I have been using a Miller helmet this helmet I like a ton more than my Miller. The screen is nice and large has a button for grinding thats easy to use. The yellow front shield helps alot with lower light areas. Happy with my purchase

Best hood I’ve had in years! The true color is amazing, the grind mode is nice and the head gear is very comfortable.
