Fibre-Metal by Honeywell

Just used the hood this morning for the first time. Easy to use, good head gear, lightweight. I was running 1/8 rod on 125 amps DC with minimal spatter. Good vision through the lens. It blocked almost all of the fumes. Yes, it is fiberglass and a little rough here and there, but a great hood. If you want it nicer, do a little sanding and painting. But it works fine as is. I am retired and just weld when I have a project going on. I don't do auto darken lenses. I highly recommend.

Muy linda

Hands down the best welding hood ever made. Lightweight, replacement parts are cheap and easy to find, and they’re pretty durable. I’ve been using the same one for around 12 years now only thing I’ve replaced is the headgear.

Best hoods on the market

The paint around the outside chips pretty easily and the bottom is really long. every time I do the nod to bring it down, I have to look up real quick to catch it or it will really smash in to my chest. Looks cool. The lens it comes with it orange tinted so if you are used to blue, this will make it look hotter I guess. The headgear that comes with it is also pretty bad. It has one elastic band for adjustment, which slips a lot. I never get burns on my neck even wearing a just a t-shirt. Feels heavy after a while, but I am pretty new to welding and that could just come with the territory.

Desde Spain EU: La mascara es muy poco conocida aquí en España, este tipo de mascara no suelen ser muy comunes y no se ven ni se usan en herrería. Pesa poco y es muy resistente, el cristal es de sombra 10, perfecto para el trabajo de soldar. Se puede poner un visor automático de Autodarking ya que él espacio interior es de la misma medida, lo cual le da una ventaja extra sin tener que levantar la masca para poder posiciónar el electrodo. Me gusta porque cubre muy bien todas las partes de la cabeza es redondeada y las chispas resbalan. El sistema de cambio del cristal es un poco difícil de quitar, hay que hacer algunas maniobras complicadas y ponerlo otra vez (el cristal) es igual de difícil pero no permite que él cristal se mueva, lo cual es excelente . Por lo demás es resistente y ocupa poco espacio. Si me preguntas si la recomiendo comprar, si, te la recomiendo porque funciona bien, pero también tengo que avisarte que tendrás que acostumbrarte a este tipo de máscara. No es como las baratas.

Very good

My son needed this for welding school. It’s durable. Speedy shipment came right on time for first day of class. Price wasn’t bad either for quality.

I used this welding shield on a 3 year project, building 5 bridges for the city of Toronto, Canada. It did everything that I expected it to do. Easily snapped onto my hardhat and plenty of room for my respirator. I did not use an auto filter so this helmet was always being flipped up and down. Most of my time was spent in confined spaces with heavy wire Flux Core welding, as well as back gouging. Put this helmet to the test and it held up the whole way, still one of my favourites. Recommend to anyone.

This is a really nice helmit if you don’t want to risk you eye sight to an auto darkening system.Tecknogy is good just not with welding helmets.Its narrow and the head band fits well.This is a fine,simple ,old fashioned helmet.If you can weld with this,you can weld with anything…

What many negative reviewers on this helmet fail to realize that this is not meant to be your pretty autodarkening $500 Viking or Elite helmet. It's a mechanical fixed rugged helmet. Any Welding Work can be done with rugged helmets or pristine kinds....still a helmet. But know what kind of tradesperson you are and how you'd like to spend your money and treat your welding helmets. I'm a Nuclear RT UT welder for BWXT which is an indoor facility and they provide Miller Elite's for everyone. Yet I still use this Pipeliner helmet for lots of STICK or heavy Flux-core and even some TIG. I'd use this outside on muddy fieldwork if need be. Its a "Do it and get-er done" kind of helmet. Not meant to be pretty but for those like myself who just care about the work, and if you can work a fixed shade, this helmet is perfect. As is the Tigerhood. Yes the paint is crap, its rough..... I don't care. It works in extreme heat and cold and is tough. Some say that using this helmet is working harder, not smarter. But if you can master this helmet then any manual welding is a breeze when you use your expensive Auto Darkening kinds.

Doesn’t make you better but you look like you know what ur doing

I love it perfect fit super light
