15 best welding masks with AliExpress

Thanks to the development of technology and the improvement of production, tools and accessories previously available only in industrial plants occupy their place in the home workshop. Welding is the fastest and most reliable way to connect metal structures, but to work with it, vision protection from the radiation of the welding arc is required. Sparks and splashes of molten metal are dangerous to the skin of the face and neck. Therefore, the choice of welding mask should be approached with special attention.

Passive protection - darkened flaps with hinged glass - almost a thing of the past, as for the convenience and safety of a chameleon mask, automatically dimmed, have no equal. On AliExpress such devices are presented for both amateur use and for professionals. Based on how often and how long it is supposed to work with welding, you can list the main criteria for choosing a welding mask:

1. Speed ​​of operation of the light filter. The higher it is, the better.
2. The size of the field of view. Reducing the viewing window, of course, reduces the cost of the device, but directly affects the master's fatigue and the quality of welding.
3. Dimming adjustment. The greater the range and smoothness of adjustment, the more accurately you can adjust the mask to work in specific conditions.
4. Convenient location of controls.
5. The quality of the fitting system mounting on the head.
6. Temperature range in which the light filter works.

In our ranking, only the most reliable and safe welding masks of proven manufacturers, who deserve excellent customer reviews on Aliexpress. When allocating places in the TOP, the following were taken into account:

• brand reliability;
• the number of positive customer reviews;
• price-quality ratio.

The best welding masks for home

There is an opinion that the beginning welder does not need a good mask, as he cooks rarely, not for long and can do with a simple shield. However, professionals say: this opinion is incorrect. Moreover, this approach is simply not safe. It is an inexperienced welder who needs good protection and ease of use of a mask, because in this case, firstly, injuries are excluded, and, secondly, high-quality welding skills are acquired faster.

For this category, we chose relatively inexpensive but reliable devices with minimal adjustments. They will allow you to easily and conveniently work in a private house, in the country or in a small workshop where welding is not required every day. All of them are in the price range up to 2 000 rubles, and also have an attractive design.

When working with welding, protection is very important, as the arc can leave a burn on the body, and the welding mask is an essential element of protection that, in addition to its basic functions, should also be as comfortable as possible not to cause discomfort during work. Before us is the simplest mask with no frills, and what is called, frills. Plain guard with a rigid mount.

The mask does not rise completely, but only the front part. It is difficult to say how convenient it is, but the fact that such a mask will last much longer is obvious. In fact, there is nothing superfluous. Only the glass and the shield itself. There is no photocell, which in everyday life is often a luxury, for which you need to overpay. Simply put, if you use the welding machine less frequently and do not do this craft professionally, then this mask is for you. The main advantage here is the price. And by the way, two spare glasses with varying degrees of shading are included.

4 Hand-held Mask

Welding is often necessary in everyday life, and today it is possible to buy a welding machine and accessories. A protective mask cannot do in this matter, and here a reasonable question arises - if welding is rarely used and only for domestic purposes, why buy a complex mask with photo cells and spend a lot of money on it. As practice shows, in most cases, an ordinary shield is sufficient, something like this.

Nothing extra. Only the shield itself, covering the face and protecting it from burns, and glass with a degree of darkening 2. This is an average degree, which allows welding metal parts with an electrode up to three millimeters. It is worth noting that in everyday life larger electrodes are practically not used, and consequently, an increased degree of darkening of the glass is not needed. This is the simplest welding mask, and at the same time the best option at an attractive price, which is listed here with regard to delivery.

3 WALFRONT

This device is more suitable name "welding shield", since it has virtually no lateral protection of the face and neck. But it has a full-fledged light filter with a working window size of 89x34 mm and a rather convenient head-cap with adjustments. It will be convenient to use this mask in summer, in hot weather, when it is impossible to work in full helmet, as well as for small works.

Buyers choose this mask because of its more than reasonable price and quite acceptable shading quality. Criticism is the lack of settings of the filter and not too high build quality.

2 TRUSOXIN TX800BF-A00

This mask has a larger viewing window - 100x60 mm and four arc sensors. These are very good features for a budget device. Batteries complete with a solar battery are capable of providing up to 5,000 dimming cycles. The body of the mask is made of polypropylene, which guarantees its durability and resistance to external influences.

Owners of the device praise the smoothness and accuracy of the adjustments, as well as the convenience of fitting the cap. The sensitivity and speed of dimming of the filter is fully consistent with the declared by the manufacturer. The disadvantage is often a long delivery time and poor packaging.

1 DEKO DKMZ350

Masks with photocell, that is, darkening at the time of the flash arc, have long ceased to be a rarity. But often they are very expensive, and the quality leaves much to be desired. For example, there are often cases when the photocell is triggered too late, as a result of which the welder gets a retinal burn. Based on this, many are trying to buy expensive welding masks, but on AliExpress there are excellent models and at the most affordable prices.

Before us is one of them. Just over a thousand and this is in view of the shipment. It has the best and most powerful photocell that protects your eyes, and several degrees of adjustment allow people with any head shape to wear a helmet. What did this manufacturer save on? Looking at this welding mask you can immediately see what is on the design. Nothing extra. The usual protective form completely covering the face and head. In principle, nothing more is needed to work, especially if you are not a professional welder, and you will not use it as often.

The best welding masks for professional use

For those craftsmen who use welding for a long time, a high level of eye and face protection, convenient adjustments, and the ability to precisely adjust the mask to the head circumference are especially important. A significant factor is the size of the viewing window. This category contains devices with comfortable headrests, large reticle and high-quality light filters, the response time of which does not exceed 1/30000 seconds.

5 FORGELO

Every little thing is important in the welding mask, especially if we are talking about a professional model that is used very often and for a long time. In this model, the manufacturer tried to take into account all the necessary nuances. First of all - this is a large viewing window. You will not experience discomfort when working, and an increased viewing angle will significantly reduce the load on the neck.

Secondly - a huge number of individual settings. You can adjust both the size of the helmet and the angle of its rise. You can adjust the mask so that it will completely go behind the head when lifting, or be fixed at a small height. And the third important aspect is the fast photocell. It has virtually no delay when darkened, and very quickly becomes transparent again. This indicator is especially important for people working with spot welding, who often need to see what is happening at the welding site. And finally, the last in turn, but not by value, is the cost. This is the best price for Aliexpress for a professional welding mask. It should be noted that similar products are on the site and at a much higher price than this seller.

Welding masks with a photocell have become a familiar attribute, and the main quality parameter in them is the speed of activation of the blackout element. Often it either works too late, or goes into transparent mode for too long. But before us is the best mask, with the fastest element. It is quite expensive by the standards of AliExpress, but its money is clearly worth it. This is evidenced by both the technical characteristics indicated in the documentation by the manufacturer and the reviews of real buyers, who are mostly positive under this product.

Will delight and product design. The mask has a silver color, and the setting system allows people to use it, regardless of the size and shape of the head. The maximum size of the helmet even makes it possible to put it on the hat or balaclava, which is especially important for professional welders working in various conditions. Of course, in everyday life such protection would be unnecessary, and that is why we placed it in the section of professional masks, hence the relatively high cost.

3 Elekmart EEH-900

The owners of this mask emphasize excellent optics without distortion, which is important for those who work in glasses. The review is the best in the category: the size of the sight is 101x94 mm. A large number of external adjustments for professionals who often switch from one type of welding to another. Plastic body at the same time quite elastic and solid. Reliable fixation of the mask in the open position does not distract the master from work.

Among the shortcomings is the poorly thought-out design of the headgear, which takes a long time to adjust, and sometimes a bad package.

2 XIDIN Grand-918I BLACK

The ergonomic streamlined design and a good viewing window - 98x88 mm distinguish this mask. The body is made of nylon, durable and lightweight material. Four arc sensors and a response speed of 1/30 000 seconds are the gold standard for devices of this class. The operating temperature range is from -10 to +60 ° C. Users praise the optics and the optimal layout of adjustments and headgear.

Complaints can cause unless the complete set of batteries and a long delivery time.

1 TywelMaster 9B_Black

The size of the viewing window is 100x65 mm and a very advanced system for adjusting the headrest - these are the characteristics of the best welding mask in the category. Professionals note the excellent balancing of the mask, convenient fixation in the raised position, clarity of the optics and high speed of darkening.

The weight of the device is only 480 grams, there are certificates of conformity. The mask can be used for all types of welding - MIG / TIG / MMA. It is possible to install lenses with diopters, which is very important for users with myopia or farsightedness.

The best masks with original design

Welders are people too, and nothing human is alien to them. Welding masks of the past did not differ originality, and the design never came to the fore. But times have changed, and today you can find truly stylish masks with a unique design on AliExpress. Is this necessary from the technical side? Probably not. But if you work as a welder or just use welding in everyday life, why not make it beautiful and stylish?

5 FORGELO

The work of the welder often causes him to take the most unbelievable postures. There are cases when work has to lie on the floor. This is called ceiling welding, and with it the main problem is a sparking spark. So that they do not deliver discomfort and do not burn, you should use a special protective helmet that you can buy on Aliexpress.

This is the best spark protection. The helmet itself is made of a dense fabric that does not burn through and does not transmit heat from the scale. Gloves for welders and steel workers are made from the same fabric. The window is rising, which is very convenient, given the situation in which a person in such a helmet will work. However, there is a drawback, and it is associated with the size of the viewing window. With him you will often have to turn his head and change position. It is not entirely clear why the manufacturer did not put here a large window with a photocell, since it is clearly visible that it would be very useful here.

4 TRUSOXIN

About the design of this mask with AliExpress and can not speak. Just look at her photos and draw your own conclusions. Yes, not everyone will like this configuration, but fans of such forms will certainly appreciate the designer's idea. But the welding mask is still a professional accessory, and here we must not forget about the technical side. But to her there are a number of questions.

For example, a rather small glass. A review in such a helmet will be severely limited, and you will either have to constantly turn your head or lift the visor, even though a photocell is installed here. By the way, the mask itself has a special element setting lever. It regulates the speed and degree of darkening, that is, you can work both with soft dimming, for example, with gas welding, and with maximum welding, with electric arc welding. The shape of the helmet itself also causes criticism. In particular, the part that closes the mouth and chin of the worker. It is too close to the head, and this is somewhat difficult breathing, and in some cases can cause fogging of the glass.

3 DEKO DNS-550

The welding mask has a lot in common with a motorcycle helmet. At least, they perform the same function - head protection. But if designers of helmets constantly compete with each other and show imagination, the developers of welding masks rarely pay proper attention to this. But here we have a cross between a helmet and a mask. Or rather, a full-fledged welding mask with a photocell, made in the form of a motorcycle helmet.

Stylish and truly beautiful product that will not leave indifferent any welder. Will be pleased with the technical aspects, such as degree of protection.The mask completely covers the head, and does not allow sparks to fly by the collar. A fast photocell removes the need to raise the visitor often to see the result of its work. By the way, there is a drawback in the form. If the user simply removes the motorcycle helmet from the head, then it must be folded back, and a large heading will not allow this to be done so that the visor can be closed with an ordinary nod.

2 TIG MMA MIG

Sometimes, it is enough to put a specific coloring on the mask and turn it into a stylish accessory. Something like this happened in this case. Before us is the helmet of the famous comic book hero, whom you can’t confuse with anyone. The seller even offers several color options, but will such a mask be comfortable to use? After all, first of all it is a work item.

Judging by the shape and design of the holder, it is a rather comfortable helmet, adjustable in three planes and having a special height lock, which does not allow the protective part to fall behind the head. The form is also impressive. First, the face of the welder is completely closed, and small sides around the circumference will not allow sparks to fly you by the collar. It would seem a trifle, but any welder knows how unpleasant it is. Not to mention the reviews that praise both the seller and the product itself. Allocate a fairly fast photocell, and as you know, this is the most important part of the welding mask.

1 Tywelmaster

When you look at this mask, you can see that the designer wanted to create a helmet for one of the “iron” comic book heroes, and he did it. There are a lot of decorative elements, from compacted inserts in the chin area, to slots and lines near the holder. It looks as stylish as possible, but in addition to external data there are a lot of technical advantages.

For example, a very large viewing window. People who work with welding know how important it is, and most importantly, it is convenient, and the more glass, the better. Also, filters that purify the air breathed in by the welder are built into the design. Working in clean air is not necessary, but try to cook a couple of parts in a garage or in a closed shop, and you will immediately understand how important a respirator is. Also noteworthy is a convenient helmet adjustment system. It adapts to the size of the head in three planes, and it is very convenient. The truth is there is a disadvantage, and it is associated with the price. Yes, the best mask can not be cheap, but not everyone can afford it.
