Hobart Welding Helmet, 4-1/2 in. x 5-1/4 in.

This has got to be the biggest piece of junk I’ve ever seen. It came with a stripped tension bolt for the visor. Tried to replace at the Glasgow Ky store. Was told it was on clearance no exchange no refund. Never had an interaction like that at TSC. Save your money go somewhere else and do business

I've been welding for 20 years and this helmet is by far the biggest piece of trash I have ever used. I cannot wait to spike it into the garbage can where it belongs. As others have stated the head gear is absolute junk. Constantly drops and slams down into your collarbones. I bought it out of necessity to finish a job when my auto dark suddenly quit on me and can say with complete honesty that it is the single worst piece of welding PPE I have ever purchased. Hobart should be ashamed of themselves for manufacturing such a useless piece of trash and TSC should be equally ashamed for retailing such a horrendous product.

It took less than a minute out of the package to decide I was going to return this. The nuts that adjust the hinge tension are tiny and skip threads when you try to tighten them, and even when they feel tight they immediately pop loose when you swivel the mask up. Result is that the mask won't stay up unless you are holding it. Not even worth the sale price.

I was expecting a better helmet from Hobart. The first time I wore it the plastic nut stripped and would not stay up.
