  • "Delay" dial to set delay time to recover from Dark status to Light status. Higher amp welding or TIG may require higher setting of delay
  • "Sensitivity" dial to set how sensitive should the lens respond to Arc. The higher this setting the faster the lens response to arc. This setting may have to be reduced due to interference from adjacent arc or other sources.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2018

    This welding helmet has held up very well and I do tend to be somewhat hard on my equipment . Now this is by no means a PRODUCTION helmet , although it could serve well as a daily backup . The point being , the shell is not rugged enough in my opinion for that type of use . The other point being , for this price you cannot go wrong for a home shop welding helmet .
    I've owned plenty of helmets and weld at least twice a week , often all weekend when restoring mopar automobiles and this helmet is comfortable and reliable . It has three sensors that perform perfectly and delay and sensitivity is adjustable at the viewing element . Two steps of 9 shade levels plus grind mode has you covered easily , more than enough . Viewing area is more than adequate and lens cover is durable and easy to replace . Visibility is excellent and auto shading reacts perfectly as adjusted .
    This helmet easily competes ( and wins in my opinion) against pro name 100 to 200 dollar helmets ...except for The shell which is merely to thin and flexible for daily " production" work . However it does not crack or come out of raise / lower adjustment at all ... Just a bit thin that's it .
    Overall this is the best value in a helmet I have ever come across by a long shot .

    Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    I owned the YesWelder helmet of the same pricepoint. Here's my comparison..

    Pros:
    The auto-darkening module is much better than the YesWelder. It's very reliable and responsive, easy to setup.

    Cons:
    -The helmet is slightly flimsy and when compared to the YesWelder, the Yeswelder feels much more sturdy.

    -The placement of the lens feels like it needs to be slightly higher up on the helmet. Even at the near highest head strap setting, I almost have to look down through the lens to see my welding while the YesWelder helmet I can look directly out the lens.

    -There's a slightly purple hue to the auto-darkening, it's not really a big issue, as the clarity is not affected by it, just wanted to mention that.

    Overall, it is a good helmet for its pricepoint and I can recommend it if you're just a casual welder, as the fit and comfort might be annoying for long term use. I ended up swapping the module from the Antra helmet into my YesWeld to get the best of both worlds. They seem to fit perfectly, so it must be some standard sizing module.

    Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2014

    The autodarkening features work very well and the helmet is very comfortable and light. The view port is well placed and I don't have any trouble seeing out of it. I also like the easy darkness adjust knob on the side; it's very easy to manipulate.

    Two downsides:
    1) The lightness means that I'm not sure it would take very much abuse, but taken care of I think it'll last fine.
    2) The other problem I have is that the plastic nuts that hold the helmet up are a bit cheap and keep loosening. I also get the feeling that it would be very easy to strip them out. I could probably replace them with steel bolts and wingnuts if necessary, but I haven't tried that yet.

    Bottom line, for the price I'm extremely happy.

    Update 2019-06-18: I had to replace the batteries, but other than that the helmet is still working fine. I'm definitely a home-user and I don't abuse my tools, but it has still lasted about 5 years. The battery replacement is a bit of a pain - you need to take off the scratch guard retainer before unclipping the lens assembly. But not that big a deal for something that needs to be done once every 4 years.

    The window is larger than i expected, and dark shade is fine for arc welding. haven't checked lighter settings for other tasks. I was worried about the sensors activating fast enough, and testing with a lighter flame didn't work well. But the arc immediately activated the shade, so no problem.
    The headgear works OK, a bit of time needed to get a proper fit and get it to stay UP yet come DOWN quickly. But it will work OK once adjusted.

    Great helmet. No complaints. No flash after using for 10hr shifts. I just bought my second. I used my first one for two years no issues. I bought a second one because the first one was worn out. Buddy at work has been a welder for 30 years and says this is the best helmet he has ever had.

    it is working well and once we get use to it you can carry on your work comfortably now as your left hand which previously you use to hold protective glass is free. However, on the cost side it is heavy if you can get what I mean

    This is a very good auto-darkening helmet. It’s very easy to see through the lens when you are setting up your work and the response time when you “strike up” is super. My previous helmet’s response time was a bit slow, causing eye discomfort. I used to be a welder (years ago!) but now only weld as a hobby and this is the best helmet I have ever had. Some people complain about the dial on the helmet, being easy to accidentally adjust but so far, I haven’t found this to be a problem. If you’re looking for a good auto-darkening helmet at a great price, I would certainly recommend this one.
