Lincoln Viking 1740 Matte Black Welding Helmet K3282-3

As described, great product great price welding with it is amazing.

Gamble for love or gamble for money, but coming from a family where there is blindness--and remembering mistakes from my student welding days--I learned not to gamble with my eyesight. I purchased this Made-in-China item some days ago, and when it arrived I read all the directions and examined the controls. I adjusted sensitivity and faced the helmet directly into the sun, looking at the lens from the side of the helmet for safety, and yet the lens would not darken until sensitivity was turned up to about 85% of max. Right after this point it darkened, but then, even allowing for the max delay period and holding the helmet in deep shake, it would not release from dark. This helmet was purchased to replace my 13-year-old student welding school helmet from Miller. It still works fine, but I wanted the newer technology lens coloration. I asked Amazon for a return but have heard nothing whatever. Fast to take customer money, another way of doing business come return time.

Lens is great the head gear is a little weak but for light use it works

This hood works great. If you use it with the regular head gear. I bought the hard hat adapter and with a hard hat on it rides too high and it rests on your nose. I bought this for construction use.

What more can I say about this helmet. It’s a Lincoln and this is what my son uses in tech school and he really likes it so that’s why I bought this one. Works perfect as it should, the Lincoln name stands on its own.

great

Cumplio con todas mis expectativas una muy buena inversión

Great hood for the money, lightweight and sturdy.

I bought this helmet after taking an introductory welding class at a community college. The helmets available from the welding program had lenses with a pronounced green tint. This made it hard for me to see the arc, weld pool, and surrounding material with my version of red/green color blindness. The lens of this Viking Lincoln helmet is much more true color and Ive been able to weld much better after using it in class. The auto-darkening settings are all great as is the Grind Mode switch. I do have a hard time adjusting the harness so that it fits tight and comfortably without sliding down. However, its not much of a problem and this may simply be a function of my particular noggin.

Exactly what I wanted
