Sellstrom Advantage Plus Series Welding Helmet with ADF S26200

Switching between grind and weld is a bit inconvenient since the switch is on the inner panel, but works well enough. Has a lot of view area, dims well. Overall pretty solid.

This is the "CADILLAC" of Welding Helmets .... It's Comfortable ... Lightweight , And a Great Value for your hard earned Money .... Don't waste your Money on the "FANCY SMANCY" Helmets with The Beautiful Graphics on them... And besides , No One is going to be looking at you while you weld .... (And shouldn't) You Don't want To have anyone damage their Eyes RIGHT !!!!! Kind of reminds Me of the Song "BLINDED BY THE LIGHT" Very Good Helmet All the way around !!! Just Like the Story about The Three Bears... One's TOO BIG , One's Too Small, This helmet is "Just Perfect" Maybe even Buy TWO !!!! That way if you Break one , You will always have one ready too Go...

Works great, use them at home and our shop

love this helmet has a wider viewing area and tint setting for all types of light issues. Comes with extra shields for front and inside. Made and cost for the intermediate hobby welder. Above the 40$ harbor freight and under the miller 400$.. but I do recommend that you do go to your local welding shop to try the fit first and by amazon to save the money

Worked great, maybe it's my head shape but doesn't stay on my head very well.

Super pleased with this welding helmet. Have worn a lot of them over the years. The visibility, comfort and features of this helmet is very hard to beat for the price. Exceptional value. Thank you.

Generally a nicely made, decent hood with a medium-sized viewing area for an auto-darkening filter. The headgear seems pretty good and adjusts easily with a push to turn knob. The filter provides a truer color rendition than others I've used (more gray, less green) and it seems to work well. I bought a Sellstrom because I wasn't particularly thrilled about trusting my eyes to a Chinese-made product, so I was disappointed to find that this hood is made in China. That's what the warning sticker on the hood says - don't know if that means all of the components are made in China or just the shell, but it's disappointing nonetheless. It also includes the warning that the hood "is not intended for overhead welding". Huh? Why the hell not and why would you want a hood that doesn't allow you to weld overhead if you need to? The ADF sees to work well and has an adjustment for how quickly it 'lightens' after the arc dims, which is pretty cool and was the only adjustment I needed to make (it was going light a little too quickly). My only other reservation is the the protective plate that keeps the front of the ADF from getting dirty or damaged has to be installed from the rear and it has to be very strongly flexed in order to fit into the slots - this means that it has to be real thin and those may be a challenge to find at a local welding store - usually the large plates are thicker than the ones provided with this hood (they provide one each of the front and rear protective plastic pieces). Overall, a pretty decent hood and the ADF is quite good, but it's too bad that, for a somewhat premium price, it's made in China. Had I know this, I would have spent a little more for the Jackson, which I assume (perhaps incorrectly) is American made.

Good quality, well packaged and perfect for my needs.
