    Ex welder , now home hobby welder, this helmet is a great piece of kit. Comfortable to wear and the auto darkener is great , id recommend this helmet even for a jobbing welder.
  • 09 October 2024
    This helmet is great, I had no idea what to choose and after speaking to your team they recommended this to me. It fits well and works a treat.
  • 03 October 2024
    Great product works perfect and good fit and quality
  • 29 September 2024
    Been using autodark helmet for a long time but previous ones failed once the batteries died, happy to learn this one has replaceable battery as well as true colours vision as well as it is quite comfortable too.
  • 16 September 2024
    Very clear big viewing area and comfortable head band
  • 03 September 2024
    finally moved into the modern welding world with my new helmet, it has transformed my life!
  • 27 August 2024
    Fast delivery, amazing product
  • 17 August 2024
    Seamed very good only used a couple times
  • 06 August 2024
    Using for tig welding. Good reaction time. Comfortable. Yes would recommend. Seems good quality.
  • 24 July 2024
    We use the Helmet for industrial fabrication and for welding training. It has a really good field of view so it is easy to see what you are doing, very easy to use and very comfortable.
  • 19 July 2024
    Well mad and allows good overall vision of the weld
  • 04 July 2024
    Not used yet .
  • 24 June 2024
    nice product
  • 12 June 2024
    So far very happy with this product, it allows me far better adjustment and viewing than any other welding masks i have had or used.
  • 11 June 2024
    Use for own use at home recommended to anyone quality very good I am a qualified agricultural welder
  • 26 May 2024
    Nice helment - seems to work well . I missed that it hasn't a solar charging function
  • 15 May 2024
    Very good
  • 27 March 2024
    comfortable and secure to wear, great view through true colour window. Looses one star as the helmet shell is quite thin and seems less robust than my last helmet.
  • 17 March 2024
    Top notch all rounder.
  • 09 March 2024
    Top quality welding helmet The true colour vision definitely is a must have ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
  • 04 March 2024
    As I am starting to get back into welding after a break of quite a number of years, I was struggling to see the area surrounding the weld. After seeing some reviews online and videos on the R-Tech website I thought I would give their True Colour XL helmet a try,. I have used it a couple of times so far and very impressed. Looks to be well made, with a comfortable, padded headgear. With the larger view area visibility is improved and a good range of controls and features on the auto darkening cartridge - including battery test - which are all inside the mask so away from damage. The True Colour has also helped me so 'see' what I am welding and where I am as I re-learn. Welding and also get used to my new R-Tech MIG welded. See how I continue with it - but so far excellent.
  • 27 February 2024
    I use this for mig welding and find this a great working mask. It is comfortable, has a good size viewing screen and the true colour technology is great. This would be a great mask for anyone who is welding a lot or a little.
  • 20 February 2024
    great product
  • 15 February 2024
    Brilliant quality very impressed
  • 08 February 2024
    An easy to use mask. I choose to buy from R-Tech, as I used a friend's mask and it was excellent to use. Another attraction was buying from a established welding supplier, so there was no fear of not getting a good aftersales service.
  • 04 February 2024
    Part time and DIY. Friends. Good.
  • 18 January 2024
    Seems to be a quality product
  • 16 January 2024
    New to welding and not a youngster. I had been given another make of helmet and was a bit concerned, as what I could see through this helmet was pretty awful. Decided to buy the R Tec helmet and the difference was chalk and cheese for my eyes. I can actually now see what I am trying to do. . Very happy.
  • 15 January 2024
    Product used for welding on cars Anyone who would Need protection for face and eyes during welding It’s does what it says . Fair price
  • 10 January 2024
    I have found my welding much improved with the better visibility this mask affords. I have now bought my son this one as he was so impressed by mine I was in danger of losing it.
  • 10 January 2024
    Superb piece of welding kit
  • 04 January 2024
    Good quality welding mask
  • 15 October 2023
    Really good welding helmet, good controls and comfortable to wear.
  • 13 October 2023
    Use in hobby Would recommend to anyone The quality is very good
  • 09 October 2023
    Great quality, just a shame that spares are not available . I hit mine with a welding pick, put a ** in the screen, but have to buy a whole mask
  • 03 October 2023
    I'm only a hobby welder but this welding helmet is perfect for my needs and I'm sure it would be for most people, unless perhaps they were a professional welder spending hours every day on the job.
  • 26 September 2023
    Father in law was on amazon redirected to rtech. Awesome
  • 25 September 2023
    Seems to work well.
  • 25 September 2023
    Good quality for the price. Clear view makes it a lot easier to see you weld pool
  • 17 September 2023
    I was replacing the base model version of this helmet as it was 4 or 5 years old and this new one is AMAZING! The true colour lens makes a big difference as does the new revised head collar. Very pleased with my purchase, thanks
  • 27 August 2023
    Tried the helmet doing some welding today and it’s brilliant. Can really see the work and it’s comfortable to wear. Wish I’d bought it before.
  • 25 August 2023
    I use the welding helmet for hobby and work I would recommend this helmet for anyone who wants a mid price range helmet The quality is quiet good in this price range
  • 14 August 2023
    it's fine

  • 25 July 2023
    Great product
  • 22 July 2023
    Works well.
  • 17 July 2023
    Great for Tig at low amps very fast reacting with good sensor placement for welding in awkward places. Ideal for professional use. Head band adjuster works well, but is similar to previous helmets, which was a weak point on them. Time will tell.
  • 16 July 2023
    very good
  • 15 July 2023
    Welding helmet is very good
  • 07 July 2023
    Comfortable fit and works well.
  • 04 July 2023
    Brilliant welding mask , you won’t be disappointed, true colour 100% better than the standard “green” tint , and saves time as you can see what your doing .
  • 03 July 2023
    Happy
  • 12 June 2023
    Have not used it yet but looks good
  • 10 June 2023
    The auto-dimming mask has made welding much easier compared to the older fixed shade mask I was using. I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to weld - I use it for welding on my vintage car. The mask is light-weight and has a quality feel to it.
  • 07 June 2023
    Lovely product. Very pleased.
  • 06 June 2023
    Home workshop TIG welding. Comfy, robust, well ** out controls and good viewing size. Better than many I have used
  • 10 May 2023
    This helmet is an significant improvement on my previous auto-darkening helmet with good features. If I'm being really picky, the outside lens cover has a slight wave so I'll be making my own replacements. Would recommend this helmet though as good value for money.
  • 07 May 2023
    I use this for general welding and like the larger viewing area it is good quality and works very well and I have allready recommended it to others
  • 28 April 2023
    Very good. Lightweight and comfortable
  • 22 April 2023
    great quality and build... just a shame I cant buy a replacement screen
  • 21 April 2023
    Excellent welding helmet for the price **

  • 16 April 2023
    A real step up from my old mask, clear view of work .
  • 05 April 2023
    Good product for price - have yet to use it
  • 03 April 2023
    Product seems well made and works well as described
  • 22 March 2023
    Good quality helmet at a reasonable price ,
  • 13 March 2023
    Makes using the rtech welder even easier, should've got the welder and mask years ago
  • 12 March 2023
    Seems to work very well
  • 27 February 2023
    So far, so good.
  • 27 February 2023
    this is the first automatic mask I have owned, it has changed my life!
  • 26 February 2023
    Various welding projects To my fellow tradesmen Very good.
  • 26 February 2023
    Mig and mma fabricators and farm workshop,so far excellent
  • 26 February 2023
    Very clear view and ** than average screen, very pleased after trying it, beats my cheap auto darkening one, better quality, good headband, overall 10 out of ten
  • 21 February 2023
    the main reason was the ability to fit the old man magnifying lense. Trying to learn to TIG weld. Any one looking to start welding. I am not in a postion to recomend equipment to those who can weld. Product better than I expected.
  • 03 January 2023
    Great helmet with large screen. Comfortable fit and feels sturdy.

  • 25 October 2022
    Fantastic helmet. Great field of view. And great vision when welding.
  • 14 October 2022
    Daughter loves it!
  • 13 October 2022
    Needed a new TIG welding helmet and this one looked good. Used it straight away and it is good. Adjustments clearly worked, unlike some helmets I have come across.
  • 10 October 2022
    Lightweight, works fine.
  • 09 October 2022
    Love this helmet - light-weight and has a lot of adjustability for head shape. The auto-dimming feature works really well and is adjustable for sensitivity and shading. The grinding mode works great (a button toggles the dimming feature).
  • 05 October 2022
    I thought my welding was getting worse and I couldn’t understand why, then my helmet wouldn’t darken so I bought an XL V2 helmet and it’s unbelievable the difference in quality compared to my old one and it was twice the price too. The grind function is great and I can so clearly without lifting the helmet. The viewing area is a lot ** than the old one which is a bonus. Don’t think about it just buy one and thank me later. 👍
  • 05 October 2022
    Good helmet, big improvement over my 30+ year old speedglass.
  • 05 October 2022
    only tested it so far, i've not used it in anger yet but already feels much better than the one i'm replacing
  • 23 September 2022
    I bought this as a replacement for another company’s welding helmet which ** on me, despite being considerably more expensive. The R-Tech helmet is a pleasure to use and represents very good value for money.
  • 18 September 2022
    Excellent to see
  • 13 September 2022
    Good quality at a sensible price
  • 10 September 2022
    I’m a hobby welder and purchased the helmet on the back of the mig 180 reviews. Not disappointed.
  • 06 September 2022
    Good demo,s Nice quality helmet Would recommend
  • 29 August 2022
    very handy this realy helps you get started ,not like the old type hold up shield !!!
  • 24 August 2022
    Well made and light
  • 11 August 2022
    Works really well and totally recommended.
  • 28 July 2022
    I use my Rtech machines in a semi professional basis basis but would be more than happy recommending any business wishing to have reliable robust welding machinery to us Rtech
  • 27 July 2022
    Welding thin tube to 6mm plate in my garage, anyone who welds or interested in starting to weld, the welding helmet is the best I have used in all my years, excellent quality.
  • 19 July 2022
    Only recently received the product and not had a chance to put it to the test. It’s well designed, replacing the covers and battery is easy.
  • 19 July 2022
    good
  • 14 July 2022
    Product does what the description said it would. Used for personal/hobby automotive MIG welding in a home garage. Quality seems good, although, only used one other welding mask previously so need to caveat that I have limited comparison experience.
  • 12 July 2022
    I am very pleased with this item For a beginner it is a did to my knowledge
  • 11 July 2022
    *** Self darkening helmet used in steel fabrication work. Works well, has good fitting adjustments and its good that the shade/sensitivity/delay adjustment are inside the helmet and away from accidental movement. Setting up instructions are clear and simple.
  • 10 July 2022
    as i said before i am a hobby welder.i would recommend it to any one,its a lot better than the other cheap end mask that i have used.for the money its really good quality
  • 05 July 2022
    Happy with the quality and availability of lenses and parts.
  • 03 July 2022
    Great price, comfortable, easy to use and very quick response to arc
  • 28 June 2022
    Light weight. Good controls and adjustments and a handy grinding setting.
  • 11 June 2022
    Perfect highly recommended
  • 31 May 2022
    Lovely clear screen and quick response makes for a good helmet, even an experienced friend agreed it was the best he'd used. Only down-side is that it can power down before you realise leading to a slow awakening.
  • 18 May 2022
    The welding mask is excellent, plenty adjustment and another good quality product from r- tech
  • 18 May 2022
    Car body reverb and table frames. Haven’t used it enough to recommend. Compared to my old helmet it feels flimsy but I don’t think that will be a problem in use and if you ask for a lightweight product that you can use for hour’s without fatigue you can’t expect it to be made of cast iron can you.
  • 14 May 2022
    Home use, new gates, car restoration etc. Recommended for professional and DIY very easy to use and very good weld. Looks well made but the amp display is no use and not needed
  • 05 May 2022
    I am only a hobby welder so it only gets occasional use but so far i am happy with the mask comfortable to wear when you get it set up, much better quality than the cheap auto darkening mask it has replaced their are much cheaper masks available but i have tried that and it did not last long so hopefully with buying a more expensive one it should serve me well time will tell.
  • 24 April 2022
    Seems to be a good quality helmet, works well

    Good product .
  • 17 April 2022

  • 11 April 2022
    hobby ,diy, seems to be good quality for the price
  • 23 February 2022
    good price good helmet
  • 11 February 2022
    Works great but I have only used it for TIG so far on both aluminium and stainless, a lot better than my previous mask.
  • 05 February 2022
    Easy to use and works well.
  • 28 January 2022
    The helmets are fine, except for one very dangerous aspect. I bought them for welding (I teach welding, which is why I bought 2 helmets) and NOT for grinding. I was therefore SHOCKED to find that when I first came to use one of them straight out of the box, they were pre-set to "GRINDING" mode. However, I only discovered this when I started to weld, which was NOT GOOD for my eyes!!! When I checked the other new helmet, I also discovered that it was also pre-set in the "GRINDING" mode. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, as any new customer might not realise that they are using a helmet set in the wrong mode and could carry on welding with it set in "GRINDING" mode leading to the eventual permanent damage to their eyes. I have now taped over the "GRINDING/WELDING" switch in both helmets to prevent any pupil accidentally switching the mode to "GRINDING". Otherwise, I and my pupils will forever have to check this switch EVERY time they use a helmet, to check that it is in "WELDING" mode and has not been accidentally left in "GRINDING" mode. Altogether, I cannot think why this "GRINDING/WELDING" mode option should even be considered as a good idea in a helmet, due to the potential danger as I have described.
  • 27 January 2022
    I was given advice about welding, when I bought the Mask

    Brilliant mask, if you bought this as a 1st mask you would be treating yourself! Been welding for years, gone through a few masks more expensive than this, but this knocks spots off them! Large screen is amazing, would not change anything DJ.

    Nice comfortable helmet.
  • 30 May 2021
    It's a cheap welding helmet, so this review is based around value for money. It works.. the bonus is you can change the battery the negative is you can't adjust the shade 'on the fly' because the knob isn't on the outside. Apart from that it's great and performs just as well as many more expensive helmets..
  • 26 May 2021
    just perfect does everything it says on the box and more lol
  • 26 May 2021
    Already have the R-Tech mig 180 so when my current shield packed up I went for the R-Tech XL-V2, great screen, very clear and sharp response. Well worth it!

    Satisfied with everything and just as advertised
  • 10 May 2021
    Helmet has a decent range of adjustability to achieve a good fit and the auto-dimming panel can be switched between *** and grinder mode which is a useful feature.
  • 01 May 2021
    Great quality, recommend for welding mig tig or arc
  • 29 April 2021
    Making tie welding much easier than the fixed dark helmet I started with. About to order the magnifying lens to save wearing my glasses.
  • 03 April 2021
    Brilliant helmet , I like the way you can adjust it to suit the individual.
  • 29 March 2021

  • 24 March 2021
    It deserves a SIX star. Brilliant. Superb value for money!!
  • 24 March 2021
    Bought as a present for my husband who restores cars as a hobby. he has dealt with you before excellent service. Would recommend to friends. Good quality and fast delivery.
  • 21 March 2021
    Used for TIG welding, mainly for serious hobbyist., it is comfortable but takes a little while to achieve the correct adjustment. Occasionally loses shielding when on low amperage work. Most annoyingly when used with direct overhead lighting there is a reflection off the internal glass, I had to rearrange my welding area to compensate. But this is a minor annoyance.
  • 15 March 2021
    Only ordered a new helmet but really like the product so far.
  • 08 March 2021
    Just the job, would of preferred the xxl but no stock
  • 05 March 2021
    Occasional welding projects. All I come across the uses welding equipment. The item is of very good quality. Good value for money.

  • 27 February 2021
    Great quality, already making life easier.
  • 22 February 2021
    First time I've used an Automatic helmet. Chose the middle of the range. Very pleased with the quality and flexibilty of the settings.
  • 20 February 2021
    The welding mask works well, just as described. Delivery was awesome.
  • 03 February 2021
    good
  • 28 January 2021
    Nice helmet. I bought the magnifying lens to go with it. I found the lens difficult to get into place it being very tight, but once in place I could see one could move it to where one wanted and it stayed there.. Have now tried it for the first time and it is excellent.
  • 27 January 2021
    Quality product and quick delivery
  • 26 January 2021
    Works exactly as it should. No complaints. But I'm not an experienced welder so I dont have much to compare it to.
  • 24 January 2021
    Having recently retired and started doing a bit more welding I thought I would upgrade my welding helmet. It’s night and day better than the old one the larger viewing area is fantastic, I’m in the process of building a small workshop in my back garden where I’m planning to restore some motorbikes and this will do nicely. I will be updating my welding equipment as well eventually, quite fancy the AC/DC 160 TIG Welder
  • 24 January 2021
    Err I use it whilst welding.... It does what it says - this is my first auto-darkening helmet. I need to get out there and use it. I was surprised by how light it was which I guess will make a lot less tiresome to be wearing whilst welding.
  • 21 January 2021
    Does all it needs to do
  • 15 January 2021
    Good quality, easy to setup/use
  • 14 January 2021
    Took a bit of setting up and compared to my lads Optrel let’s a lot of light in over the top causing internal reflection of my face on the screen. Ok for hobbyist but suspect it wouldn’t survive a work environment
  • 05 January 2021
    Good quality product .Great price Woukd recommend
  • 04 January 2021
    Perfect for the job, recipient very happy.
  • 29 December 2020
    nice item / nice price
  • 28 December 2020
    The XL was my own choice against other masks, the website video show exactly what it can do and I was impressed enough to purchase. I would recommend this mask.
  • 26 December 2020
    Used for home car restoration using MIG welding.. For any hobbyists this is an ideal product Very good quality at the price point
  • 22 December 2020
    This was purchased as a present for my son, so can’t really rate performance. However being an DIY welder myself, the product seemed to be good quality.
  • 21 December 2020
    Don’t know yet, it’s a present.
  • 21 December 2020
    Haven't used it yet but it looks like a good product.

  • 29 November 2020
    Great product, works very well, very pleased. When welding I can finally see the weld. Very pleased
  • 24 November 2020
    The mask is used mainly for home projects, however the auto dimming mask makes welding so much easier than when I last welded using the hand held types I’m tempted to start welding again in my day job as a mechanic
  • 17 November 2020
    Top Products. very helpful and I would recommend them to anyone
  • 14 November 2020

  • 30 September 2020
    For the price the helmet exceeded my expectations. Excellent quality.
  • 21 September 2020
    I'm using it with a MIG to renovate some old garden furniture. I recommend it to friends who also weld. The helmet is superb and does exactly what it is meant too.
  • 16 September 2020
    I bought the welding helmet for use with a mig welder for a Mgb renovation project. I found the helmet works well but the viewing panel steams up between the Adf and the outer lens when you are hot or working in a confined space. You then have to dismantle the lens to remove the steam you can't just wipe it off the top of the lens. So welding helmet works well but can steam up, I wouldn't buy another one.
  • 15 September 2020
    Great fit and good at what it was made for so I'm very pleased with my purchase. 10/10
  • 15 September 2020

  • 09 July 2020
    Great mask, good visibility.
  • 08 July 2020
    Having previously used a handheld mask, this is a big step up in technology. Lightweight, reacts faster than my own eyes... why didn’t I buy this sooner?!
  • 08 July 2020
    I would recommend
  • 12 June 2020
    I use the welding mask for general welding, including gas and TIG, which I use for stainless/bronze/copper metal sculptures. The mask is light, comfortable, responsive, has a nice large, clear screen and was very fairly priced. I am extremely pleased with it and would definately recommend it for general welding duties, where a non-ventilated mask is not required.
  • 03 June 2020
    Great

    R-Tech Automatic Welding Helmet (Speedmaster XL-V2) - I have never used an automatic welding helmet before and this presented no problems. The video on the R-Tech website gives an excellent tutorial on it's breakdown and set up. The design and finish is superb and far too good for workshop use - I jest.
  • 28 March 2020
    These days part time engineering and welding - tractor restoration and general fabrication Have recommended R-Tech to everyone A well built and lovely piece of equipment to use

  • 04 February 2020
    I'm a weekend welder so although this product isnt used day in day out it's still used full on for days at a time, this helmets great for people in a similar situation as its proced mid range and is much better than the cheap helmets you can buy elsewhere, its well made, replacement lenses are easy to change so will hopefully last for many years
  • 26 January 2020
    Excellent product
  • 12 January 2020
    For £50 this helmet is a must.
  • 09 January 2020

  • 05 November 2019
    Tends to mist up a bit behind the cheater lens. I'm not sure if it is the fault of the helmet, or the way I'm breathing ;-)

  • 15 September 2019
    Nice helmet for price not as nice as my *** but that was another price point If your a weekend welder or restoring a car you can't go wrong with this If your doing all day every day upgrade
  • 10 September 2019
    Haven't used yet as have to save up for r tech inverter mig welder, but looks good.

  • 30 March 2019
    Great size lens, shades work well. Don’t fog up and good coverage.
  • 25 March 2019
    As before, the XL mask is fantastic. Previously I had a budget mask which cost about half what this did but wish I had shelled out the extra in the first place. The size of vizor is excellent, fit very comfortable and shading is perfect. My welding has improved just for having a decent mask where I can see exactly what I am doing.

    Very good quality unit
  • 08 November 2018
    Nicely made and works well.
  • 01 November 2018
    I will use this welding mask only occasionally for DIY welding but I consider welding without an auto darkening mask far more difficult. I would recommend the product to all my fellow DIY welders. I haven't used the mask yet but it appears to be of good build standard & quality.
  • 23 October 2018
    Very good quality much better than the one I was using.
  • 16 October 2018
    I find much better for tig welding than my slightly smaller screened r tech welding helmet. Quality is fine. To be fair I would replace my normal mig helmet with one just because its better for both . Quality is fine.

  • 24 June 2018
    Having just bought a Tig welder, I found my old automatic welding helmet would not stay dark welding at low current. The R-tech helmet wasn't much more expensive than my last one, but has a much larger screen and and has more adjustments available. All I had to do was to change the sensitivity and the problem was solved.
  • 24 June 2018
    Very high quality product, easy to fit instructions.
  • 18 June 2018
    would recommend to all who need a welding helmet Good quality

  • 25 April 2018
    Good quality helmet at a reasonable price
  • 16 April 2018
    Im a professional welder,but I would also recommend this to the hobbyist. The quality feels good, but I know I'm going have to take care of it in a workshop environment. I think I would rather the old style torch, I like the pencil grip on fiddly jobs
  • 11 April 2018
    Equipment not yet set up as at 11/04/18. It is intended for use, after training, by members to pursue their own projects or for projects requested by the local community. ***
  • 10 April 2018
    Good quality
  • 09 April 2018
    Really clear view through this helmet compared to my cheap Chinese one, only thing to mention, it is thinner plastic but this does make it lighter.
  • 08 April 2018
    Use this item on a daily basis and it is a great quality item
  • 31 March 2018
    As a novice welder I am really satisfied with the simplicity of this product

    Very good welding helmet for the price.
  • 25 January 2018
    Very good quality looking item
  • 20 January 2018
    Not the most cost effective and the Rtech team will tell you so, but for a mobile kit they are great and no need for signage on your vehicle to highlight your carrying tools.
  • 18 January 2018
    Good price for a good product.
  • 09 January 2018
    Absolutely superb machine, and the ability to power it from a 13A domestic plug top is a massive advantage for me as it gives me much more flexibility in usage, and doesn't require a separate welding socket to be installed from the distribution board like all of the 200 Amp machines on the market. I'm thoroughly delighted with the machine and wish I had made the investment years ago.
  • 24 December 2017
    perfect
  • 20 December 2017
    A great helmet, works flawlessly on TIG, MIG and arc. Well made for the price.
  • 19 December 2017

  • 12 September 2017
    I use this helmet every day as I am a fully qualified fabricator/welder.The helmet has a big viewing window that makes it easy to see your work piece, and wants set right reacts very quickly to arc strike,, its light to wear and can be adjusted in every way to give you the greatest comfort well worth the money not to expensive and works very well . An excellent industrial product better than a diy one by miles.
  • 07 September 2017
    Nice product.
  • 30 August 2017
    I'd been prevaricating on this purchase for, now it is apparent far too long, for it is an absolute wiz. Transferring from my elderly air cooled MMA set to this is, wow, such a revelation.
  • 22 August 2017
    n/a Have not used welder yet waiting on connection to power supply will update when connected.
  • 21 August 2017
    I decided to order the plug and socket at the same time to save faffing about getting them from elsewhere so I could be up and running straight away. Easy to wire up so no problem!
  • 20 August 2017
    Great optics and sensitivity
  • 06 August 2017
    I'm just starting to use the machine when I write this. But she works as I expected. And the videos on the rtechwelding youtube channel are a good help at the start.
  • 04 August 2017
    very comprehensive kit with all you will need for months or years of welding
  • 02 August 2017
    Good, but this could have come with the bayonet fitting needed to fit a gas hose. I had to pinch that fitting from another regulator that did ship with the fitting.
  • 25 July 2017

    What one would expect. Has safety standards engraved on mask easy to adjust. I hope I never have to find out how well it works.
  • 04 May 2017
    For the price, the welder is excellent. I have used both the AC and DC settings and they are simply to set up and use. The addition of the foot pedal means everything you need comes straight out of the box!
  • 26 April 2017
    I bought this welding helmet for personal use as I own and work on classic cars although I also have 2 of them at my marine engineering business where we undertake a lot of Mig and Tig work on various materials. Great quality,value for money,Comfy to wear and good features.

    I got the 250 mig for my work to fill a gap I had with equipment and I intend to use it with quite a high work load. It has worked perfectly out of the box on a small job so far but we will see how it performs over the next 6 months. I have already recommended the smaller 180 inverter Mig to a neighbouring business that does a lot of vehicle welding The build quality seems to very good as well.

    I already have one and was sufficiently impressed to buy a second to let two people view the weld for instruction.

    Used for home welding projects, currently rebuilding a GSXR1100 hardtail cafe racer/ bobber and a 1962 MK2 Ford Zodiac. Superb service, great helmet...good visibility and comfortable to use.

    I purchased this helmet to replace one which was starting to fail. I have been very impressed with it. The helmet is very comfortable to wear, easy to adjust and the visibility through the lens both before and after darkening is excellent. Having replaceable batteries is a real plus. I have used it for MIG welding and would not hesitate to recommend it to anybody.

    only just started to use the welder but good instructions and easy to understand and seems a good bit of kit but more use will confirm
