I bought one a few months back, after maybe 20 hours of stick welding(I took good care of it) it started flashing me, replacing the battery did nothing. I contacted yes welder and they sent me a new one no questions asked. So far the new one is working well, but I haven’t done too much welding so far. Not sure what happened exactly but I did appreciate the good customer service. Hope the new one works better. Also one side note, the head gear broke on the first one after the first month, something stripped out in the tightening mechanism. So I now don’t tighten it down every time I put it on, I just slide it on my head and it works fine.
That's interesting. I'm starting to experience some of the same issues. I just stripped my tightening strap. I think I just overtightened it. I ordered a new one and it cost me just under $11 shipped. It is kind of flimsy so I'm going to do just what you said. Leave it set and slide in and out of it without adjusting it every time. My helmet just started flashing me from time to time. I adjusted the sensitivity a little more toward the sensitive side and it's seemed to cure the issue for the moment. If it starts again, I may contact Yeswelder to see what they will do for me. Did you contact Yeswelder directly by email? It's a bit disappointing because I really like the helmet.
DIY Homestead Projects Yes, there is a “contact us” section on their website. Just send them a message and they will ask for the an order number. I ordered mine from amazon and gave them that order number and they sent me a new one. I believe the hood has a 1 year warranty, so if you purchased within the last year, you should be fine, that is if you need exchange it. Hopefully not. I will let you know if my second one starts acting up.
Thank you for the info! I'm hoping your new one will continue to work just fine for you.

Having the same exact problems with mine. Flashing & wont tighten.
😮 I retired two years ago from welding everything, silver soldiering, gas welding Tig Mig, you name it l did it. Harbor freight $40 auto welding hood worked excellent 😮.....
I work at a fabrication shop that makes ladders and whatnot , I mainly only stitch 1-2 inch welds with mig, it’s perfect for this kind of work. Love the big screen the real view lens. For heavy welding I wouldn’t recommend but for somebody doing light fabrication It’s perfect. Oh I swapped the headgear out with a Lincoln Viking headgear 20$ Amazon.
Excellent Matt 👍
Thanks, I'm getting one. I appreciate you taking the time and trouble to make and post the vid, very helpful.
Very welcome!
just bought the Q800D, it’s essentially the same thing but with wider view and better head straps, thanks for the review!
Hope you enjoy it!

Dear DIY Homestead Projects -thank you for taking the time to reply. I did a bit of stainless tig and experimented more than usual with the sensitivity control and found this gave me better lightness in respect of seeing more than just the weld pool. Some days I have good eyes
and can see critically. I chucked a Trusoxin in the bin well before the expiry warranty. Low and behold the new mask(Amazon) was identical!!! It makes you wonder if because the manufacturers are Chinese and the difference in lingo that's the reason for sh#### instructions? What would we all do without you questing helpful souls on You Tube???
Incidentally, I thought the sensitivity control was not for what it actually is/does. I'm jealous of a young pal who is a professional welder who swears by the 3M welding masks but my OA pension doesn't cover that sort of money.... WOW.
I am amazed with these Yeswelder helmets! I own a $300 Lincoln Viking and my father in law has the cheapest Yeswelder helmet, $35 dollars and perform as good if not better than the lincoln Viking!
I am too, it's been a good helmet especially when you consider the price.
This is a good entry level auto weld helmet. The clarity is pretty good considering the price and great for that back up helmet or the mate who's always borrowing your tooll. Good review. Thanks🇦🇺
Agreed!
Thanks for the video review. Just purchased mines for $53 with the 20% off Black Friday sale.
Awesome! Glad you were able to take advantage of the sale! I hope you enjoy that welding helmet, I really like mine :)
Thank you for the detailed review as well as the follow up msgs from viewers questions. I am in the process of buying a helmet. Will def use your link if I decide to buy this particular helmet. Thank you.
No problem 👍 Good luck with your quest for the right helmet!
Hello I know it’s probably to late to ask but can you make a video showing how to install the headgear part, my helmet came completely wrong and I’m trying to properly put it back correctly but I can’t because even the manual seems to not say the correct steps to take.
He adquirido hoy uno después de ver su video y la verdad que es un casco muy bueno, ya lo probé y el color verdadero es excelente, muchas gracias por aportar ese review para los que vivimos en otro país logremos comprar sin perder tiempo y dinero.
De nada, disfrute de su nueva campana de soldadura.
Interesting on the helmet update, did a good job.
Thank you, hope it helped you out.
Thanks. Having the controls on the outside is an awesome feature, as is having both grind and cut.
Totally agree with you Jeff!
I had been looking at $250ish name brand helmets, but you’ve convinced me getting one of these is worth a shot.
I was considering an expensive helmet too but settled for the YesWelder. I don't regret the decision.
Thanks for the review. I've always had a bunch of trouble seeing anything but the arc.
You are welcome. I've been dealing with the exact same problem.
Same here, it is embarrassing to lay a nice bead .250 away from the seam....
No doubt!
Thanks for the tip, and the 10% discount!
You are so welcome!
Great Video, I don’t Weld enough and not good enough to justify a Miller Helmet so this one looks perfect and wow it’s super clear. I just snagged one on EBay from watching your Video thank you. Semper Fidelis

Ordered one, thanks for the review.
You are welcome Gerald! Enjoy your new welding helmet.
Excellent review and explanation. I’ve been looking at this welder. I think it’s time to pull the trigger. Thank you
Thanks for watching and commenting Bill! Have fun with your adventure :)
Good Vid! Answered my looming q's about that exact helmet!
Glad I could help!
Button batteries are not re-chargeable, so the solar could only supplement the battery power to extend battery life.
I have the same yeswelder helmet for a welding class. I have been happy with it, but I have to complete a 1g stick weld test. If you look at his 6:38, you can't see any detail around the weld. I need to see detail of the edges of the metal for the 1G test to keep a straight line. I am 62 years old , so I need more help than this helmet seems to provide to complete the 1G test. The helmet has been fine up to this point. A strap broke and yeswelder sent me a new one free too.
Thanks for the review, works great for the money. Only a hobbyist works for my needs!
Yes it does!
Thanks for the vid man! Very helpful, learning how to weld and it’s super fun
Awesome Jared! I agree, it's a fun hobby!
Excellent review, thanks from Colorado.
Thanks for watching!
the welding lens is very large !! i love large welding window to know where im going! :) since 1991 i prefer large screen !! nice helmet!
I totally agree!
Thank you for the tip, and the 10% discount! Now if I can just become as proficient as you are with the soldering and welding maybe I can finish some of the many honeydoos on my list!
Glad to help Will!
Thank you for the thorough review.
Cheers
Glad it was helpful!
Congrats on 10K brother! Quite an achievement.
And another very informative vid. When you showed how much brighter it was than the HF, I knew I had to have one. Will eventually be ordering it through your affiliate link. And the cheaters...game changer. I started using them about a month ago. Bty, I know you were hoping this hood would be more sensitive to better activate when TIG welding. Did you find that to be true?
Thanks!!!
Thank you and I really appreciate that! I didn't think I would ever see 10K subs but here I am finally.
With the Yeswelder hood sensitivity set at the half way point I really haven't noticed any difference in the sensitivity compared to the HF helmet.
I did a couple of 1/16" thick material joints at around 50 to 65amps and had to adjust the sensitivity so it would darken at that lower amperage and it worked as I expected. Unfortunately at the time I didn't think to try the HF helmet to compare. With the Yesweld helmet set half way on the sensitivity dial the two helmets seem to be compatible sensitivity wise. Since I had to adjust the Yeswelder to be more sensitive at the lower amperage I'm guessing I probably would have had some flashing with the HF helmet at that amperage. I think it's nice to have the option to adjust the sensitivity and likely a must if you intend to weld at a large variety of amperages. Hope that answers your question.
I thank you in advance if you choose to purchase a helmet with my affiliate links. I really appreciate your support! Wishing you the best with your welding adventures! Take care my friend :)
I have the exact same welding hood and I just pulled it off the shelf and noticed that my solar on the bottom of the front of the screen is cracked down the middle and a chunk missing
Strange though it may seem My Trusoxin has the same part number. Thanks very much for you excellent videos. Your previous vid I see is the actual Trusoxin mask same as mine..... I wonder is it the same manufacturer of the two masks?....
One question I have is the shade adjustment knob has two numbers for one adjustment level....... What is that all about I think? All numbers these days are getting smaller by the minute ,and I do mean ALL indication writing.
Thanks for watching! The double numbers is actually two scales depending on if you have the switch in weld or cut. When the switch is in cut mode the scale on that darkness is 5-9. When you have the switch in weld mode the scale is 9-13 for darkness. Hope this explains the double numbers to you.
Hello This is My first electrónic helmet I Buy and I received one but not included full intruction ...question how off the lens ? Or this is automatically off ?
I put mine on grind when not in use. The screen does not darken in the grind mode and that may help make the battery last longer. Just don't forget to put it back on weld before you use it to weld again. There is no ON / OFF switch to worry about.
Anyone has a direct comparison to the solar powered version?
Good job iam getting that. U Really made it look good Thx u scolded me
It's been a great welding hood IMO especially at this price range!
Girl in my welding class bought one, two weeks in and she’s already having problems.
I wouldn’t trust my eyes to this.
Tell her to turn the sensitivity up to "HI". That will help with the flashing in an environment with a lot of lights.
Just sharing my experience. Mines didn't have the true color lens like yours. It has the green tint like normal helmets. Also mines has slow reaction to the arc and has flashing during welding. Customer support did offer either replacement or refund. I rather to not try it again. My cheap $35 helmet from ebay made me more satisfied.
Interesting, I have never seen a welding helmet from YesWelder that is not a "True Color" lens. I personally own several YesWelder helmets and none of them have a green tint lens.
Very good unit...However, I'm confused with this other unit EH-091 XL ....what is the difference ? Thanks.
I'm not familiar with the EH-091 XL model but it appears they have the same electronic internals but a different outer shell. That may possibly be an earlier model but I really don't know for sure.
Can you use it with glasses on??
Yes you can
Just buy a $300 helmet it’ll be worth it, I’ve been using this helmet for about half a year for my full time job, the front screen protector warps and detaches pretty easily so all the smoke and gas will get into the helmet and get the screen on the inside dirty, the censors are placed in a bad spot so welding at awkward angles doesn’t really word too well because the screen doesn’t darken, after a couple months the helmets delay starting to get worse and worse even after a battery swap so I’d pretty much get flashed every time I’d start welding, and overall it’s tooooo dark during the weld, it’s very difficult to see the pool and everything around the pool even the path your trying to stay on, I’d give this helmet a strong 2 out of 10 starts
I could spend $300 on a helmet but this $70 helmet is doing everything I need it to. If it breaks or quits working I can buy three more just like it and still be into all of them for less than $300. I weld as a hobby so someone welding for a living may have a completely different prospective and I totally understand. You have to do what works for you and your situation. Thanks for the input!
That's too much for a hobbiest and the dude says so in the video. Did you even watch?
I want to buy some.
Can i use this Helm-model also for MAG???
D.M. - Yes, I use it for all welding processes.
Mine won’t even turn on. I’ve installed the replacement battery and still nothing
Got the welding helmet and the lens is dark all the time. Switch set to weld tried all setting on sensitivity on each knob but you can never see through the lens. Brand new from Amazon am I doing something wrong, is there a hidden on off switch that the manual doesn't show?
Grind - turns it off. I have shade set on 5 out of 10. First knob - Sensitivity is too high if you look at a light bulb or reflective surface and the view turns black.
Heard people are having problems with it darkening on dc tig. Just got mine and haven’t had a chance to use it but I’m a little concerned about that. If anyone knows please weigh in.
Do you know if they have cheaters ( # 2 ) . For the size of the screen. ??
I haven't seen cheaters that are the size of this big screen but a standard size cheater lens will fit in this welding hood. Personally I use a standard size cheater and place it up or down on the inside of the screen where it works best for me. Hope this helps.
What settings do you recommend for stick welding?
It depends on what amperage I'm welding at. The higher the amps the darker the setting. Generally I'm usually between shade 10 and 11 welding from 90 amps to 125 amps. This will also differ from person to person.
@@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 that’s very helpful. Thank you for the quick response! That’s right where I’m at for Amps too
I bought a Zelcan helmet from Amazon, £38.
Looks like a re badged Yeswelder helmet.
Not used it yet but I will say the instructions are absolutely useless. It took me about an hour to get the strap fitted to the hood and I'm still not convinced it's put together right!
noob question, but do helmets like this offer you any level of protection if they fail to darken? any way to safely test before using it? Can you get arc eye from 1 second failure with this helmet on if I'm welding only at 60amp 3/32 rods?
This helmet is marked with the "ANSI Z87. 1 - 2003" safety standard and that standard does provide UV and IR protection even if the darkening feature fails. I have no way of testing that but I can tell you that over several years using this brand and other cheap brands of welding hoods, I have had no problems with eye damage from using these welding hoods.
I have this helmet but when I look outside, it undarkens, and when I look back in the room I’m in, it darkens, it’s working in reverse. I’m a beginner welder so idk if this is how it works but when I’m outside it turns see through, is it broken?
That doesn't sound right but have you tried to weld with the helmet? I would set the shade level on about 10 or 11, set the delay about half way and sensitivity on HI and see if it darkens when you strike an arc. Or just strike a Bic lighter in front of the screen with the helmet on and see if it darkens momentarily. It also has a test button on the inside I believe. Does it darken when you push the test button?
@@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 i haven’t welded with it yet and the lighter didn’t seem to work, but it darkens when I look at my phone. And it does turn dark when I press the test button
It sounds to me like it's working properly. I'd be curious to know if it works well when you actually try welding with it.
Anyone know the difference between this and the 800D?
have you had any of the problems I see few reviews on Amazon about flashing and or staying dark or not working all the time?
Yes I had some flashing welding in my garage. I had to turn the sensitivity all the way up as sensitive as it will go and turn the delay all the way to the lowest setting. That seems to have stopped the flashing. I have sent an email to YesWelder to find out what to do about it and they sent the request to Amazon. Amazon refunded me on the helmet. I haven't determined if the issue is just this model or if they are having problems with all their hoods.
As soon as I learn more about this issue, I'll be making a video telling what I have learned.
At least YesWelder 1 year warranty has been good and they were pretty quick to issue a refund. Good question!
@@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10THX.. good to know. my two year old eastwood has developed a problem now that I'm doing stick welding.so i've been shopping. on stick welding, i recommend increasing the delay to at least half the range.
Thanks WV591. I have been using the YW helmet quite a bit lately and it's been working good with the sensitivity on HI and the delay at the half way mark. I haven't had any flashing with these settings and I've done some 40amp welds with the tig. I still think this helmet is a good value for what it costs. Good luck with your search.
Bruce, are you still getting flashed by this hood? Or did you fix it? Thanks.
Boris, It's been doing well lately with the sensitivity turned all the way up to "HI". I think it has something to do with the lights I use to film with. During the day with plenty of daylight coming through my window I don't have any problems. When it would flash seemed to be when it was dark out and I had my filming lights turned on in the garage. Strange!
I did notice that one of the four sensors is shiny and the other three are flat black so maybe I have a bad sensor and that's whats causing the issue. I do still use this helmet for all my welding incase you are wondering. Hope this helps you out.
@@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 Thanks for the reply. Think your right about the lights and filming conditions perhaps tripping the helmet.
Any one know what battery this requires?
CR 2450 3v
Hi Bruce, Keith again! I have this helmet also...bought it cause I was getting flashed with my other graphic YesWelder helmet when I tried to TIG Stainless or mild steel. Never does it welding Aluminum due to the brighter arc. I started using my cheapo helmet on steel cause it didn't flash burn me but I'd like to try this one again...what would you recommend the best settings for anti-flash TIGging steel? Like always, love your videos...thank you...
Hi Keith, I turn the "sensitivity" setting as high as it will go and that pretty much eliminates any flashing. I appreciate you watching my videos!
@@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10, Thanks Bruce...another question...I have the same magnifiers you show in your listing but for the life of me, I cannot get them installed in my helmet...they go in about 1/4" and no further. Is there a secret to putting these in Bruce? Yours slipped right in...seems like yours have clear plastic frame, mine are black plastic framed...
Hi Keith, I have two types of cheater lenses. One with a clear plastic frame and those fit easily into the YW welding hoods. The other ones I purchased are actually glass lenses with a black frame and those are a little thicker than the clear plastic one. The black frame lens doesn't slip into the welding hood smooth and easy like the clear plastic one. I have to fiddle with it more to get it into position. I think it's just two different manufacturers or styles of cheater lenses. Some of my videos have links to the clear frame and some have links to the black frame lenses. This is because at one point the clear frame lenses were not available on Amazon so I had to find a different lens and I ended up buying the black frame ones with the glass lenses but I don't like that version as well as I did the cheaper plastic clear frame lens.

Would this helmet be good for aluminum tig or stainless tig?
Yes, I've used this helmet for both aluminum and stainless and it worked well for me.
Thank you for this video. One thing I’ve read in Amazon reviews is that there’s a gradient from top to bottom where it gets darker the lower you look through the window. Have you noticed this and does it negatively impact your welding? I’m considering ordering this as my first welding helmet and just want to make sure I protect my already crappy eyesight lol
Thank you, I hope the video helped you out with your decision. I haven't noticed any difference in darkness from top to bottom on the viewing window. My opinion is it's a great helmet for the money. I use some additional lights for shooting video at my welding table. They do affect the darkening from time to time. Through trial and error I have noticed that if I turn the sensitivity all the way up to "HI" it seems to work well with the additional lights. YesWelder also has a 1 year warranty with this helmet and they responded quickly to my emails if you have any issues. Be confident that it is a great helmet for the money and if you have a problem with it, YesWelder will respond and resolve any issues you may have if necessary.

Yes, I use it for all welding processes.
@@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 thank you very much
D.M. you are welcome!
You need a higher darkness setting . its little bit lighter
was this given to you by yeswelder to review?
No, this was my first YesWelder welding helmet and I purchased this one out of my own pocket. Since I bought this first YesWelder helmet, the company has provided some other model helmets for me to review. They have all been great welding helmets at an affordable price IMO.
Question: how far open will the headgear adjust to? I have a big melon, and I need it to rack out to about 8 1/4 to fit properly. Will this do that?? (if I buy one, I'll use your link!
I measured the inner circumference around the headband with it opened up to the largest setting. It came out to 25-1/2 inches. It's not real easy to do but I measured it several times and came up with the same 25-1/2 inches. The hat size charts I could find on the internet say 25-3/4 to 26 inches equal a hat size of 8 1/4 so it's going to be close. Just incase you are not familiar, Amazon does have a good return system and policy in my opinion if it doesn't fit you. You may or may not want to deal with that but that decision would be up to you. Hope this gives you the information you were looking for. 😀
@@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 Hey, thanks for doing that! I think that would work! (it's a curse having a big head -- I always tell everybody "it takes a lot of hood to cover this much horsepower.") LOL!!!! :-)
You are welcome! Ha Ha That is a great saying :)
@@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 Hey, just getting back to you on the results! I ordered this from Amazon, (through your Amazon site, so hopefully I did you a "solid.") Not only does the headband open up initially to 25 1/2 inches, but if you look at the opposite side of the band from the adjustment wheel, there's a whole bunch more adjustments, so this thing would fit an even MORE ginormous head!!) The quality of this helmet is just as you said. It dims right out of the box, and the controls are great!! VERY nice quality for the money! Thanks!!!
Awesome and thank you. I really appreciate it! Boy you got that helmet fast. I really like mine and I hope you like yours too. I think it's a great helmet especially for the money. Yeswelder should be paying me but they aren't. Ha Ha Happy welding my friend! 👍
I'm about to buy this on Amazon. Is this discount code still usable...???
The discount is still usable but I don't think it works on Amazon. The discount is for the YesWelder web site. They do have free shipping too.

Thanks for the visit
Do welding helmets (I have the new Vulcan HF helmet) have certification(s) that let us know if they are indeed protecting our eyesight? I figure for as long as HF has been selling auto-darkening helmets if there was a problem with the protection we would have heard about it by now. What are your thoughts on this?
In the United States, the industry standard for welding helmets is ANSI Z87.1+ which specifies performance of a wide variety of eye protection devices. The standard requires that auto-darkening helmets provide full protection against both UV and IR even when they are not in the darkened state.[6] The standard is voluntary, so buyers should confirm that the helmet is ANSI Z87.1 compliant (indicated by appropriate labeling).
Both my Harbor Freight and Yeswelder welding helmets have the ANSI Z87.1 approval listed on the back of the auto darkening screen. It may or may not be actually "approved" because they are both made in China and China is well known for counter-fit items. (IMO)
I do know that my Harbor Freight helmet does protect my eyes from radiation burn and UV even when the auto darkening screen isn't auto darkening. I found this out when I welded a couple of beads with it before I finally figured out that the batteries had died. I did see spots for several minutes after welding but my eyes returned to normal in only a few minutes. I never did experience any of the "sand in the eyes" symptoms that people describe when they get "radiation burn" from being flashed by a welding arc. (I personally have never experienced that)
My guess is probably all auto darkening screens are made by only a few or maybe even one company. I'm guessing that they probably all use the same UV and IR protected glass no matter what the helmet brand is. I would also guess that all welding helmets are made in China no matter the brand. I think the price differences are based on Brand Name, Features, Build Quality of the hood and head gear.
When my HF helmet batteries died I did quite a bit of internet research on welding helmets. Up until I did this research I thought that if the batteries died in an auto darkening helmet your eyes would be flashed and you would get IR burn from the welding arc. I was wrong! I learned that most if not all auto darkening units have IR and UV protection built into the glass. Even without darkening they will protect your eyes from IR and UV rays. The IR rays, from what I understand, are what causes the most pain and damage. Even a clear set of safety glasses have IR and UV protection. I didn't know that either. Here is a real good video by AVE on this subject with testing to prove this if you are interested.

@@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 Thanks for everything and I will check out the Beginner Link ('cause I am a beginner) as well.
@@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 It's important to wear ANSI Z87.1 approved CLEAR safety glasses underneath your welding hood because if you ever accidentally strike an arc with your hood in the up position, you will at least block a large percentage of the UV radiation from the arc even with CLEAR safety glasses on. Most people think clear safety glasses won't shield you from UV radiation because it's not shaded, but in reality they do. Do NOT try to weld with just safety glasses. I'm only stating that wearing safety glasses underneath your welding hood provides an extra layer of protection to the eyes. Many welding schools require safety glasses to be worn underneath the hood.
Thanks for the tips J!
у меня точно такая же маска . в ней плохой фиксатор поднятия маски вверх, он ломается. ломается тоненькая крышка аккумулятора. обязательно уберите защитное прозрачное стекло с внутренней стороны, дает блики при tig сварке это сильно мешает.
I am just getting into welding do you think this is a good helmet for me
Hello Alem. Yes, I think this is a perfect first helmet for anyone. The clarity and visibility of the weld pool is very good. It really helped me to see the weld pool and what's around the weld pool. That ability was key for me learning and it will make learning a more enjoyable process I think. And you just can't beat the price for the features on this helmet. Hope this helps you out!
I want to buy some.
Can i use this Helm-model also for MAG???
D.M. - Yes, I use it for all welding processes.
Nice helmet for the Amazon China cheap hobbies. Works ok, but like all cheap helmets they have solar to charge a non rechargeable battery.
link for readers lenses...thnks
Sure, these are the ones I use. They are 2.0 diopter but they do have different ones. Just select the magnification you prefer. These are Optical Grade Acrylic Material.

Bought a 2.50x pair...
They have worked well for me Mat, I hope they help you too!
Just looked at Amazon UK and the price here is an eye watering £202. A real rip off.
wow
@@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 I see the Amazon UK visor is listed as LYG-M800D but it is identical to the one you have.
That is just crazy for it to be three times the cost, I don't understand why. Apparently it's real expensive to ship to the UK? Just doesn't make sense to me. Maybe it's Amazon with the inflated price to the UK.? If you are interested in purchasing one of these helmets, you could check out the Yeswelder website directly and see what they would charge for the helmet shipped to the UK. You might get lucky. Sorry it's so expensive but I have no control over Amazon pricing and shipping unfortunately.
1 question does the plastic feel like crap. You know that over procced thin crap. If not sir you convinced a sale.
I don't think it feels like cheap crap plastic. It is thin and flexible and feels like it's fiber enforced but I'm not sure about that. To me it actually reminds me of real thin fiberglass but I know it's not fiberglass. Hope this answers your question and let me know how you like it if you end up getting one. I think you'll like it. I really like mine.
@@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 I've been looking online everywhere and I don't want to spend $500 dollars for an advanced one. I'm going to check my local shops tomorrow if they don't got nothing good then ill order this one. To be honest this does look like the best one for the money I don't think you can get a good auto darkener with all those settings for that cheep.
I agree and good luck with your search.
So if I need to use the 'cheaters', and they are 2"x4", I guess I don't need to pay 2x as much for the larger display!
Good point. I do use cheaters in this helmet.

Is this Helm also for MAG?????
I want to buy some. Please guve me an Answer. Thanks
D.M. - Yes, I use it for all welding processes.
Price saudi Rials
Don't buy. I got 2 because I thought the problem was just the first one, but both hurt my eyes. The darkness was patchy and the uv protection wasn't there. My eyes hurt for a full day after using it.
That's interesting, I've been using this helmet exclusively for the past 8 or 9 months now and my eyes have never hurt after welding.
@@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 I guess that's the issue with cheaper products, the quality is unreliable. Some will work and some won't. When it comes to your eyes, I wouldn't risk it.
Are your EYES worth 39.00 or 79.00 or 600.00 Which gives you the very best eye protection.
The price you pay for a welding hood has nothing to do with it's ability to protect your eyes from ultraviolet light, sparks and infrared light. It has much more to do with the name printed on the side of the helmet. That statement "what are your eyes worth" is a sales pitch to help people justify spending $600 on a welding helmet IMO.
They buy the name brand because they have used more than 1 other helmet.
I bought the Yeswelder brand helmet in this video. But my God it is ugly! The stickers are painted on, they aren't removeable, and so you are stuck with those awful "Yeswelder" logos all over it. I don't know why they thought it was a good idea putting those labels on there. It gives it a real cheap Harbor Freight style. If it was black, with a small logo, it would look like a $500 helmet. The Esab A40 Savage is much better looking, and flat black, but it costs $140. The Viking helmets have some pretty bad reliability according to reviews on Amazon, as multiple people have had sudden failures, and multiple DOA helmets purchased new. I'm debating suffering the ugly Yeswelder helmet, as the Esab is industrial quality for only $60 more. But the Yeswelder helmet is well designed, and the head band feels like little baby kittens, it's such a nice head band I don't know if I can return it. So, I might just paint the helmet with spraypaint, and then spray it with "Diamond Coat" extra hard spray can clearcoat.
My dude sounds like Donald Trump 😂😂. Good review bud.
Thank you 😀
use one month lens is dead
Use the warranty and get a replacement like I did
they have shamelessly copied Eastwood Xl9300 which is 1 pound lighter.
They are probably all made in the same factory.
@@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 yes pre virus factory
Nothing like miller welding helmets...
It's a cheap welding helmet .
