Tools and Hardware Reviews of Neiko Solar-Powered Auto Darkening MIG/TIG Welding Helmet, ANSI Approved Lens
Customer Review: A good deal
Summary: 4 Stars
I remember when these helmets cost hundreds of dollars. Even though MIG welding was part of my job for years, I was too cheap to buy one.
Now, the price is very reasonable and makes sense for even hobby welding (I use my MIG welder for metal trellises).
Wasn't expecting too much, but the Neiko is really quite a revelation. It works great and it doesn't seem flimsy to me. You like that light weight when you wear the thing all day! I like the knob adjuster on the head strap, a high-end touch. The viewing area is quite large, much bigger than the old designs were, and the darkening seems to be instant and reliable. Sure is nice to see what you are doing! My welding is certainly more accurate and attractive now.
Two things bother me, though. One is that you have to place the unit on your head just right, and keep it there, or it will pinch the top of your ears when you pivot it down. My ears to not stick out, aren't big or anything, yet it got me a few times if I didn't pay attention. It really hurt, and blood even. I am going to apply tape to the part of the hinge that gets me.
The directions are terrible! My goodness, there are probably ten million Chinese with PHDs in English and this is what they come up with? They must have gotten some worker off the line who was taking Beginning English at night school. This is, after all, a safety device and you would want to make sure your settings were correct. Eye-burns are not a good thing and new welders might not really understand how to interpret this. No excuse for bad directions on any sort of tool, even if it is made in China (it is).
Hmm, four or five stars? I choose....four. Highly recommended, but the directions and ear-pnching issues irritate me.
