Lincoln Viking 1740 Matte Black Welding Helmet K3282-3

This hood works great. If you use it with the regular head gear. I bought the hard hat adapter and with a hard hat on it rides too high and it rests on your nose. I bought this for construction use.

Cumplio con todas mis expectativas una muy buena inversión

great

Exactly what I wanted

good product

The clarity is amazing. If you can’t afford the 3350 this is the way to go. I do wonder what shade 8 would look like. Absolute 5 star helmet none the less.

Works well for a hobby level welder. Easy to adjust, and good view of the weld pool.

You get the quality you expect when you buy the name Lincoln. Ive been welding since the early 70s used a few hoods over the years my first purchase of auto darkening, its a great hood, very comfortable and light weight.

You can definitely see your weld better, blue like they say, but it is not like seeing in sunlight. It has been used it for silicon bronze mig welding on a Lincoln 115v machine. Those using more industrial levels of MIG welding might see a clearer advantage, so to say. The controls work fine, but the off view could be brighter. There are some cheap helmets with better stats, but I have faith the Lincoln is going to to last and be in use for a long time. I weld better now, the helmet does not try to amputate my ears like the old one and it is clearly a quality product. All in all was a good purchase. Someday there will be a technology that offers a completely clear view of welding, but it seems that will be later down the road. Weld quality is far more dependent on skill than helmets, but it is nice to have a good helmet as well. I feels good about this purchase.

Great hood for the money, lightweight and sturdy.
