Tecmen TM1000 Flip Front PAPR Welding Helmet W/ V1 PRO Blower

New tecmen flipfront papr

These welding shields are an absolute must-have when you need the extra protection from welding fumes, like aluminum mig welding. I like the grinding shield and flip up design. I just got the new upgraded version, but I personally will be staying with the old version if I need more units. The new upgraded version is not that much of an upgrade. I mean it does the same job and it does it extremely good it's just everything they changed from the old version seems to me like a downgrade. There are now 2 buttons to do the exact same function as 1 button on the old one. And it's very hard to tell which button you're pressing when you have welding gloves on. The new color display seems pointless since you can't see it when you're wearing the thing and it likely eats up more battery as it's always on when the power is on. Also the new lens makes everything look yellower where the old one was clear. These are my personal thoughts though and you might like the new ones as much as I like the old ones. And they do stock and sell both the newer and older ones so you have the choice.

Good helmet so far

I just bought it last week I’ve used it only once for a short time. I like it so far, better than my essab savage. It will get used a lot this month.

good i am satisfied! just its my 3 time to use it 10 hours a day with full charged battery. just to ask why is it there is still a smell of the fumes ?
