My first AD helmet
By J. Canfield
Finally I am getting serious about metalworking (as a hobby) and recently bought a Hobart IronMan 230 MIG welder (I have a stick welder and a small MIG.) I have always had trouble starting my bead with a standard helmet - I would have my electrode or gun positioned and then I would flip down my helmet and invariably move the rod/gun out of position. I've wanted an AD helmet for some time and finally decided to pull the trigger on this one.I was steered to ArcOne helmets by a professional welder who made a post on a popular welding forum - he uses an ArcOne on job sites because he doesn't want to subject his expensive helmet to the rigors of a job site. I think he considers this a throw-away helmet, when it gets too splattered up or damaged, he buys another one.Since this is my first AD helmet, I have no comment about it being better or worse than others in this price range. I can comment on the physical properties of the helmet - it is very lightweight and the head band and other mechanical aspects of the helmet are excellent. My hat size is 7 1/8" and the headband felt very good - not too tight as to squeeze my brains out ;-) but tight enough. The headband on my standard helmet (a Lincoln I think) was either too tight or too loose and much heavier.The auto-darkening aspect seemed to work quite well, but there are no lens adjustments on this helmet - my next helmet will have variable shade levels. After welding for three or four hours, I had some eye strain, but I'm not certain it was due to the somewhat slower response time of this lens, or due to concentrating/focusing on welding.Also consider the highly regarded 50 buck or so Harbor Freight AD helmet. I think I'll move up to a little better helmet in the future (when the plastic lens cover on this one gets splattered up), but this one is serving me well for now.If you are welding with a non-auto darkening helmet, you don't know what you are missing. Getting an AD helmet was a significant step forward for my welding.
