ESAB Halo Sentinel A50 Automatic Welding Helmet 0700000800 with Free Accessories

Its light weight and comfortable. I plasma cut, grind and weld almost all day and this is perfect. The buttons are well laid out and easy to use. I kept the yellow lens cover on and its perfect for plasma cutting. Yes its expensive but well worth the money.

This hood is very comfortable and clear for all day use. Definitely recommend

I love this hood! I have been welding with it for quite some time now and I havent really found anything that I dont like.

Coming from my Miller elite to the esab is night and day for me. I can see the puddle much more clearly and the grind button is a game changer.

It looks sick, and the visibility is so good. Electronic display for adjustments is a nice feature.

A+++++

Iv had my hood for about 6 months now and here are my thoughts- Overall the hood is ok… the optical clarity is decent and the lens size is average. For as much space there is inside I don’t see why the lens couldn’t be an inch bigger. The hood is extremely comfortable and fits well. It’s easy to work with it on for extended periods of time. It flips down and flips up better then any hood Iv ever used. It is a crisp click when it falls in place. In the 6 months of owning I have done everything from .052 flux to stainless tig. The hood functions well and Iv only had a few cases where the auto darken was delayed by a fraction of a second but still enough to give you ark flash. The sensitivity adjustment makes 0 difference in my “expert” findings but the delay does seem to work as it should. I have had the same batteries in it from when I got it and they are still at a full charge (this is 6 months of welding 8+ hours a day) The plastic is kinda flimsy but still holds up well to the heat (and a few accidental drops) The biggest drawback in my opinion are the covers. They scratch and crack very easily. They also don’t create a full seal so dirt and dust get inside the helmet and scratch the lens. The cost of replacement covers is absolutely ridiculous. A few days of welding flux and the cover is done for. The grind mode works fine but the LED that flashes inside to remind you to not burn your eyes out of your sockets blinks so slow it’s pointless. (Small detail yes but iv flashed myself so many damn times I’m pissed enough to mention it) The touchscreen works about 70% of the time. Clicking something 3 times to get it to work is annoying. (Props for making the grind button mechanical) keep in mind the touchscreen will not work with gloves or if your hands are dirty. Overall this hood is a solid 7/10. It is a bit overpriced but hey you get a Esab logo. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone who only welds flux. More of a solid wire/Tig hood. If you arnt a dumb gen z like me and are able to use a fixed shade id pick up a cheap Jackson instead. Hope this helps!

Great welding hood

I bought two ,one for each grandson,it was at their request they are both very happy with the purchases as they didnt pay they were gifts as to details I can give none never used them.

I look at this helmet at Fabtech at the Esab booth and decided I had to have one, great comfortable helmet and a great seller
