Bought this before Christmas for the TIG welding course I am doing.

Esab Origo Tech Auto Darkening Welding Shield


€118.50 €95.00 Product Code: 7570 The latest design in ADF helmet. The Origo-Tech is available in 2 striking colours, Yellow & Black, finished in a high gloss paint, which allows longevity of look and style. The helmet is equipped with a 9-13 variable shade ADF, which extensive field trials and tests have found the unit to be extremely efficient & reliable.

Lightweight, the helmet is designed from a very durable A801 material, which allows for position welding, with increased comfort and reduced fatigue to the welder.

Features & Benefits:
Head Gear

  • 4 Position Settings – This ensures the wearer has the perfect fit across the head area
  • Large Rear Adjustment Knob – This allows the wearer to adjust whilst wearing thick welding gauntlets
  • High Quality Sweat Band – This offers increased comfort to the wearer
  • Robust Nylon Construction – This strong material provides a firm foundation for the helmet shell, and is extremely durable
  • Rear Pivot Pad – This allows for the perfect head fit, and highly adaptable to all head shapes
Helmet

  • Full Face Protection – Offering protection to the face, chin, throat & head area, providing complete facial coverage from sparks ,heat and radiation
  • Flat Top Brow – This allows for easy put downs, and will help to reduce scratching of the outer lens
  • High Gloss Finish – With strong visual impact & styling the shell can also be easily wiped of dust and dirt
  • Extremely Reliable – The helmet functions on an extremely reliable ADF filter, which is always active, with no On/Off switch
  • Solar Cell Technology – The ADF uses solar cell technology which means there is no battery change needed.
  • Light Seal Cradle - The new Light Seal Cradle not only shuts out any Welding Arc Light, but it also introduces a Convex curve to the front spatter lens. This provides extra security and strength and a healthy air gap for the ADF.

It is brand new, literally been out of the box once.
The issue is that it only darkens at 20 amps so its a problem for me doing Tig from 5-10 amps as it does not darken at that level.

So I need a better one.

Grab a Bargain at €80.

Yes Brian its bang on - you really wouldn,t weld much with a Mig or Arc at less than 20 amps - probably wouldnt even get the stick to melt at a guess.

For almost every normal welding application you wouldn't even notice, were just practicing using the foot pedal control on a TIG plant on very thin stainless so would start to generate a weld puddle at 30-40 amps but reduce amps to allow greater detail in the weld and thats when the shield wont go dark.

For any car or home welding projects it would work well.
