T TOVIA Auto-Darkening Welding Glasses, Lightweight Helmet Alternative

Came wen stated, well packed. Eventually got to try them, goggles do need a bit of development on fit especially in the nose area. Using the headband is a no/no, the nose bridge makes the goggles tilt rearwards at the top and makes use a bit of a problem fit. I took headband back off and fitted the arms, they were better as goggles didnt tilt, so was easier to use. Havent managed to use them yet on a big welding job, but seemed satifactory. Was able to see what was welding ok, I would think ok for small jobs, test will come wen need extra lens covers, wen supplied one gets a bit pitted. Fitting headband and arms to goggles frame bit of a challenge as fittings a but tight, was just waiting for pins or fitting to break but did not. Overall it seems to do job ok, but does need to have nose bridge re-desighning a bit for comfort, plus instructions and address or website for spares not just a blank box.

Handy for under a van, you can stick your head in a wheel well no bother with these, you might get a nice tan if you do too much welding with them though

I needed to weld in a confined space and a full face mask was just too big. I was able to do the job using these which worked as they should. Quality of the plastic was okay but not great. Consider the limited protection they afford for the rest of your face when using them. A good standby for when seeing the weld is confined.

Auto darkening not great at all they was missing the nose piece so had 4 sharp bits of plastic stabbing nose they work for observing someone weld. but actually using as your welding is bad they dont darken and mine was too big a fit so was ynable to use

Can make them work but terrible design, not sure who’s face is shaped the way they are supposed to fit..

RETIRED FABRICATOR SAYS, Every DIY Welder needs this great improvement to blind- tacking. If you wear glasses while welding, remove the auto dark unit from the supplied frame, it’s made to fit your head- shield perfectly. Don’t forget to remove the thin protective films from all glass faces before use, I loved it within 5 seconds on first usage, BRILLIANT, WHAT A BARGAIN.

Just the job perfect

Beware these are very poor quality and do not react to flash very quickly. They do not obviously protect the majority of your facial skin from ultra violet and should only be used for very short intervals such as initial tacking. I have had a follow up email from the seller offering a refund after reading the above review. However after revisiting their site and watching the video which I had not viewed when purchasing this product, I realised that I had neglected to remove the protective plastic sheet from the front of the lense, the flash reaction is now very quick and the viewing of arc site is now acceptable. But they are still slightly uncomfortable to wear with prescription glasses.
