Lincoln Viking 1740 Matte Black Welding Helmet K3282-3

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.

Exactly what I wanted

It works exactly as expected. Auto darkening and comfortable head band. The additional plus is, it uses readily available AAA batteries.

Lens is great the head gear is a little weak but for light use it works

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.

Gamble for love or gamble for money, but coming from a family where there is blindness--and remembering mistakes from my student welding days--I learned not to gamble with my eyesight. I purchased this Made-in-China item some days ago, and when it arrived I read all the directions and examined the controls. I adjusted sensitivity and faced the helmet directly into the sun, looking at the lens from the side of the helmet for safety, and yet the lens would not darken until sensitivity was turned up to about 85% of max. Right after this point it darkened, but then, even allowing for the max delay period and holding the helmet in deep shake, it would not release from dark. This helmet was purchased to replace my 13-year-old student welding school helmet from Miller. It still works fine, but I wanted the newer technology lens coloration. I asked Amazon for a return but have heard nothing whatever. Fast to take customer money, another way of doing business come return time.
