Invest in your career! This is a great investment, my welding is even way way better with this on and it looks so much better and eyes are protected better and plus it looks freakin cool lol havent had any cons/problems with this helmet at all. Worth every penny i swear. Got the shipyard jealous lol no jk but its a great helmet

Arrived on time and is exactly what I expected.

This is the first review I’ve ever written, my husband has had this helmet about 6 months… and since he’s needed to replace parts that don’t exist, and yesterday needed a new battery, replaced it and the helmet still doesn’t work. 125 bucks for a helmet that couldn’t even last a year 🙃.

Works great on low amp tig..love the crisp white color of the lens! I have multiple miller digital elite hoods and also own the miller infinity. The clear cover lens is wavy but the hood works great. Well done forney!

So I’ve been using this hood for over a year now, and things to note, the helmet cages are cheap and break in a few months, I called Forney and they sent me another hood and then they cage broke shortly after, I don’t to any crazy welding I’m an 8 hour day tig welder, now let’s get on to the electronics, at first the electronics were amazing, but slowly it started developing issues, like flashing, only certain shades working, and then the darkness just sticking on completely, I’ve even had the shade stop working mid weld on multiple occasions. So my over all opinion it’s a good helmet, it just needs some revisions to make it even better, I guess the benefit to it is that the size of the lenses is pretty common so you can easily fit the electronics out of a Lincoln or Miller helmet.

Would havr gave it 5 stars but it came scratched. Kinda upset spending so much money and it didnt come looking new.

So I was really excited to get this hood, I mean look at it! It’s bad ass, it’s got that a-10 warthog look. If only the plastic was actually durable, day one I got it out of the box checked it out. The adjustability is a little too much for my taste. It was hitting my face, so I used extremely adjustable headgear. I ended up tearing the plastic of the actual hood in the process. The auto-darkening lens I only tested with a cigarette lighter, I never got to use it. I think I’ll just stick with my Jackson hood.
