Lincoln Viking 1740 Matte Black Welding Helmet K3282-3

Works great. Comfortable. Adjustable.

Cumplio con todas mis expectativas una muy buena inversión

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.

Bought as a gift for a family member. They have had no complains and remarked that the visual quality is excellent.

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

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.

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

Works well for a hobby level welder. Easy to adjust, and good view of the weld pool.

The clarity is amazing. If you can’t afford the 3350 this is the way to go. I do wonder what shade 8 would look like. Absolute 5 star helmet none the less.
