I have been a fabricator for over 35 years. I have used an automatic lens hood for over 22 of those 35 years. I have used Huntsman, Jackson and Miller auto hoods over the years and they perform very well as you probably know. the other thing you know is that those brands are VERY expensive!! several hundreds of dollars more than this hood. I like EVERYTHING about this hood. First, the head gear is higher quality than ANY of the high dollar brands. Second, the lens is higher quality than either Jackson or Miller. It's always on and ready to weld. the hood is very light weight and compact and works well in tight areas. the lens is very easy to operate and I especially like the 3 preset shade function. This is a professional quality welding helmet at a very good price!!!

This hood's 1/1/1/1 clarity is Top shelf!! Very happy with the quality and durability. 2yr warranty is nice but I feel it will last years longer. Only wish the headgear was more adjustable and padded in the back. But other then that it's great. I'm a welder/fabricator in a busy shop with 20 other welder/fabricators and I'm not easy on my gear! It takes the abuse and works without fail. Worth every penny!

Upgraded from a Lincoln Viking 1740. Got flashed too many times when going around fixtures etc and wanted a good 4 sensor helmet. This helmet seemed to have many heavy use tradesmen using it with good feedback, plus it had features that mattered to me. Thoughts after first day with it: Lens is super clear - almost like… it shouldn’t be that clear. Very very nice. Huge view area, mega upgrade from previous helmet. Controls and lens access are all good. Grind mode gives you a blinking red light you can see - so no forgetting you’re still on grind mode when doing lots of weld,grind,weld. Light weight. Fairly basic headstrap but still comfortable for a full day working. I would absolutely recommend. I’m looking forward to putting it back on tomorrow.

Very good welding helmet I've used it for stick tig mig and flux core and I'm extremely happy with it. Headgear is fairly comfortable for how basic it is, helmet doesnt feel too heavy. The viewing screen is actually larger than the Lincoln viking, the picture is just as clear and I personally think it's a great deal. When it comes to switching lenses changing the outside lense is super easy but changing the inside one is a little more difficult since you need to take the cartridge out of its frame.

Purchase 2 of those 4000 series in the last few years and always the same problem the battery connector breaks after a year working. For the price I wish they would last longer
