Lincoln Viking 1740 Matte Black Welding Helmet K3282-3

Im know professional welders use more sophisticated helmets but for me, I weld when repair is needed around the ranch and this helmet allows clear view, its light and easy to adjust all settings Glad I purchased it!

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

Cumplio con todas mis expectativas una muy buena inversión

You can definitely see your weld better, blue like they say, but it is not like seeing in sunlight. It has been used it for silicon bronze mig welding on a Lincoln 115v machine. Those using more industrial levels of MIG welding might see a clearer advantage, so to say. The controls work fine, but the off view could be brighter. There are some cheap helmets with better stats, but I have faith the Lincoln is going to to last and be in use for a long time. I weld better now, the helmet does not try to amputate my ears like the old one and it is clearly a quality product. All in all was a good purchase. Someday there will be a technology that offers a completely clear view of welding, but it seems that will be later down the road. Weld quality is far more dependent on skill than helmets, but it is nice to have a good helmet as well. I feels good about this purchase.

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

You get the quality you expect when you buy the name Lincoln. Ive been welding since the early 70s used a few hoods over the years my first purchase of auto darkening, its a great hood, very comfortable and light weight.

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.

Got it for my husband birthday he says it works great
