An unboxing and quick review of the Vulcan Master Welder Helmet from Harbor Freight. Spoiler, I really liked it. Did a few welding passes to test out the darkening and fit. Worked out great...

Just bought this as my first hood. I'm a bit of a newbie at wielding and I was told to never cheap out when it comes to eye protection. So I watched this IN THE STORE before I bought it. The headgear is super comfortable, on par with the 3350 Viking I'd borrow. I too like to have my shade a bit on the lighter side. Was hoping for the shade to be that blue/white rather than green (personal preference) but so far, man is this thing comfy. Great review.

My first video watching you. Good review. I also have that welding hood. Compared to some Miller hoods I've used, and the Lincoln Viking hood, I would say it's a strong contender! I use it every day at work (I'm a welder). In my opinion, it's secretly a gem of as hood for half the price of the big name brand hoods. The Viking has a slight different tints color, but is similar. The other hoods are also maybe slightly larger for viewing window, but the size of the Vulcan is still in competing range.

When welding, breathe in your mouth out your nose. Blows the hot moist air down away from the shield. Also I noticed when you were welding you were pulling your bead (dragging) which is necessary for flux core but with mig it works better to point it straight down or even better slightly push your puddle (point the tip slightly in the direction you're headed
@TheBeardedGiant

You mention how much you like the helmet. I just bought one today Jan 2020. am sure I will like it too. The problem I find with harbor freight stuff is not how good it is or works but, how long it lasts. Your video is a year old. Not sure how much you have used it but, how about a report on it now ( one year after you posted this )? How long it lasts is the real determiner of value. so much of this stuff works great but, they are not made to last- they want you to buy another in a year or 2, etc. Me? I am hoping this is my last welding helmet purchase. if it is that good. time will tell. thank you for posting this.

I never liked those auto helmets, for the reason if the sensor is shadowed for any reason you get flashed, Flash burn sucks ! but now in resent light of I'm getting OLD, I have glasses that I never had while welding for a living, bifocals at that. UGH ! anyways I recently welded up a stainless exhaust for friend, I have a Huntsman picture window helmet, the whole flipping it down and trying to see through the bottom of my glasses SUCKED ! I looked at that helmet not to long ago and thought I should probably get one, the whole moving my head around to see through the progressives makes me want the bigger window, I'm sure they've worked most of the bugs out of those by now. Thanks for the review !Doug

@frankiefc3
@frankiefc3 5 лет назад
The auto darks have their place. Mainly in the shop or in an open area type setting. Welding in a pipe rack, tight spaces or with obstacles/obstructions, the fixed single shade filters are the way to go (unless you enjoy the flashburn). Blinking lights, like off a damn JLG, sets those auto darks off flashing and that gets annoying real quick.
