The King 1.0 | Shade 5-13 Adjustable Gold Auto Darkening Welding Lens | 2" x 4 1/4" x 0.33" | Adjusts From Shades 5-13 (9 Lenses In 1) | Gold Front - Deep Blue Weld View | Ridge Products Royal Series

i have been using this for a few months now and am very happy with it. the gold looks great from the outside and the clarity is really good. definitely worth it

My go to lense from now on! Great visibility while welding compared to other brands, I’ve had other coworkers borrow it and have loved it. Couldn’t be any happier

I am overall happy with the product, it worked consistently on everything BUT tig. That being said I’m not disappointed in it.

Really great lens, puddle is really clear allowing more focus in my welding. Won't be getting another lenses unless they remake / upgrade this . I Went from tefuawe 5813 gold to this lens as I bought the sugar scoop from them as well. I realized the arc was a little to bright on the 5813 with a shade 11 . It would block my view of the puddle on verticals . the blue shade on this lens solved that problem , the arc is completely gone and all I see is a pretty blue puddle . However i Hope they can make this rechargeable, with a stainless steel casing, and low amp tig like the 5813. As I have to switch lenses out when I tig weld . Love this lens for flux and stick i have been using it for 4 hours everyday for the past 3 weeks in welding school .

Update after more usage: it is not reliable with stick welding in the sun. Tried to contact the company, never heard back. They got their money, that is the extent of their caring. It works inside but after comparing with my other auto darkening lenses, I cannot recommend something that is unreliable when it is your livelihood. There are more reliable ones out there. Review after buying: Weld view is a nice blue color, which I find it easier to watch the puddle. Changing the settings on this type of lens is more challenging depending on your hood configuration. I have it on the pipe liner, so retaining bracket and back lens have to be removed. Adjustability is nice though and this lens is fully capable.

It’s not the right color for me. I’m gonna exchange them for a different color lens. I like their lens tho. I just thought I give the gold lens a try. But it’s not for me.

Great lens for the price point, super clear view and easy to set up. Definitely better than my old auto lens. Will be coming back for another whenever the time comes.

Overall has been great so far. Ordered the lens for a hood i had bought but the hood from a separate company, but the lens it came was cheap so i kept on getting flashed, and thats when i decided to order it. The lens does an excellent job at auto darkening, and quite honestly is much clearer than I originally thought it was going to be. Definitely a bit of a thicker lens in terms of size but with very slight modification to a hood will more than likely fit! Overall im loving it so far 6/5 stars.
