Personal use

Great helmet, but the settings don?t seem to make any difference
-
Very pleased with this helmet. I treated myself to an upgrade, having had an old one from many years ago. The quality is good and visibility is better than my old one.
-
Works well.
-
Works well, Very comfy.
-
Very pleased with the helmet, good quality and easy to use.
-
Good quality welding headshield.
-
For the price this welding helmet is amazing. Such a clear view. With all my previous welding helmets I have had to use bright lights to see what i was doing clearly. But not with this one. Half the price of my old helmet, yet ten times better.
-
Nice quality- works very well. Very comfortable.
-
Super comfortable
-

-

-
Great helmet easy to use. Good value
-
such good quality i bought another one
-
Very good value
-
Not great at all. Missing lock washer causes knob to fall off. Awkward to adjust well and not very comfortable. Small aperture. I wouldn?t say this was worth the money.
-
DIY use All people who need welding equipment Easy to use and clear vision when in use
-
After years of welding with my old helmet, this was like welding in daylight. You don?t realise how tired the old ones are until you get a new one
-
Seems a quality product
-
I use this product for making prototype products and would recommend for anyone whose vision requires a good clear view while welding. I did buy an entry level helmet because I ultimately want an air-fed unit but I am unsure if the True Colour technology will help. I can then determine which type of air-fed mask will be most suitable.
-
Great quality and easy to set up to my preferences.
-
Good quality for the price, delivery was quick and would definitely buy again from this company.
-
Very comfortable, easy to use, only used it for a couple of hours so far, but very happy with it.
-
Great very happy with the welder and prompt delivery.
-
Great value for money, 5star.

I?m a hobbyist blacksmith so light fabrication. This seems like a good unit for anyone wanting a light weight portable machine. Excellent quality.

*** *** of kit. Very reactive lens, and great for the money.
-
my first go with auto-darkening shield. This is so much better than the hand held shield I used years ago. seems excellent
-
I use the Speedmaster II for welding on construction site and at home in my garage. Recommended for any professional or beginner welder. Definitely the best quality welding helmet you can buy for the money
-
It wasn't until I used this helmet that I realised how basic my old "Aldi Special" was.... Much clearer vision, better reaction time & the "Grind" function is really useful,
-
Ordered a welding mask, the quality was very good, it is light to wear and much better than the old one I was replacing. Very happy with this product.
-
Works great
-
Only done one job and performed well.
-
Works well
-
Easy to use and adjust. Also very robust
-
Works well
-
My Grandson was delighted with his present.
-
So far so good, the work is completed with it I had some flickering with auto darkening, havnt had time to tinker with settings. Pleased somewhat so far.
-
As already said the helmet when switched on darkens and doesn't go light unless switched off and on many times. I think it is faulty and will contact R-Tech to check. Disappointed.
-
Feels solid
-
Great bit of kit does what it says on the box
-
great products and support and delivered fast and in good condition. no problems here.
-
Didn't realise how bad my old helmet had got until I started using this one. Excellent product.
-
Amazed at the quality for a budget price. We would recommend for any user.
-

Thank you for your great service
-
Used for tig welding Reccomendefd for Any welder Fine quality, in fit, opening and closing, is comfortable to wear, and works very well in visibility and shading. Looks good too, with a smart colour. I cannot comment more on for example, misting up due to breath condensation as have not used extensively yet, but not immediately apparent.
-
Perfect, no need to keep changing batteries either.
-
Used the helmet repairing my case backhoe machine it was comfortable to wear and good view of work when welding
-
Looks good , comfortable to wear, some I believed are not.

-
Great!
-
At last I can see exactly where I am putting the welding rod

It?s too small. My nose is on the glass all the time. Uncomfortable
-
This was a gift for my partner, so am unable to give a full answer, Sorry. He is pleased with all of the products bought and can't wait to start using them. He was also gifted your TIG welder.
-
Good price good helmet
-
Entry level mask with a difference. I couldnt ask for anything more from this mask.
-
Comfortable to wear, very quick response and useful grinding setting.
-
Great value for money welding helmet
-
Quite good for the price which suited me
-
good
-
Works well, fits comfortably
-
Works very well. Grinding setting and general adjustability excellent
-
Very good
-
Comfy and works very well ideal for my first proper welding mask
-
Good visibility - it has a yellow tint r rather than my previous helmet's green tint and this is making it a lot easier to see what I'm doing both when setting up and during welds. Controls are straight forward, headband is comfortable and secure, it's decent quality and or does it's job well.
-
Faultless. Does what it's supposed to.
-
Brilliant piece of kit
-

surprisingly good quality for the price
-
*** auto helmet.
-
Does as it says
-
Absolute quality item, worth every penny.
-
This is a must have, I was previously using an hand held welding mask, now having two hands to weld with and the auto dimming which is lightning fast it has helped to improve my welding accuracy.
-
Great, fast acting and reliable
-
Highly recommend this mask
-
bought as a backup helmet, works brilliantly.
-
Used it for one day very please with this product
-
The helmet is light and comfortable and with care I don't see why it shouldn't last. The automatic darkening works well . The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is that there is no low battery warning so I can forsee changing the batteries more often than suggested just to be on the safe side.
-
Works really well. Comfortable helmet can also be used for grinding. spares available from Rtech which is good.
-
Great quality
-
Great service, brilliant thanks
-
I have one of the earlier Speedmaster helmets, and although it feels a little 'cheap' and looks a little 'cheap' it still performs vary well, even after 8 years or so (!!). The Speedmaster II looks the same as the old one but with the controls on the outside of the shell instead of on the removable 'darkening trickery thing' as on the old version. The see-through bit is a little smaller but suffers less internal reflection. I have to keep my overhead lights on for safety reasons and this can sometimes reflect off the internal lens when bent over the work-piece. The smaller aperture is still large enough to see clearly the work-piece and anything that may be a concern on the periphery.
-
Very good all round
-
With the Rtec 135 and other welders namely a mig and a large mobile To anyone wanting a no nonsense helmet at a good price Reasonable to good for the price, it works well
-
It is new, so I would expect it to be good. But I am very happy with the shield
-
My first automatic welding mask. Easy to set up and easy to use.
-
Fab bit of kit for the money
-
Good quality welding helmet for the money, very pleased.
-
Works great, as a novice I think this is a must have.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone from hobby to professional, good quality mask at a bargain price!
-
Really pleased with the mask it's not too heavy and is comfortable to wear.
-
Bought to replace old naff helmet from sc**fix as learning to tig weld. This is a great piece of kit for the money, nice field of vision, just lovely and clear. I?m very happy with my purchase, fast delivery too. 👍
-
I use this in a private workshop with a MIG welder. Easy to use and comfortable.
-
** welding, product is easy to use and great value considering the price, well made. Would recommend to other amateur welders who would like an entry level welding mask.
-
Spot on for the money
-
Making off road eBike. I cannot fault it, so anyone looking to replace an older helmet Brilliant, such a good visibility with the MIG welder
-
Love this helmet. Been using a non-branded mask for ages and notice the immediate difference. Much clearer when welding with quick response times.
-
Works great
-
Another great piece of kit from rtec
-
All excellent
-
Good quality item at a reasonable cost.
-
Tig and mig welding Everyone Quality is good
-
Good for the price. Only complaint is the top strap digs into my head a bit but easily solved with some tape

-
nice helmet works well
-
Class product works absolutely great
-
Very good
-
I am a beginner with Mig but have experience of oxy/acet. Was soon producing good weld beads . Will be using on car body work, not business but personal usage. Limited use so far but good quality and I hope to get many years of use. The manual is rather sparse and vague in parts. I am really pleased with the machine and service. Thank you
-
Bought for mechanic friend who's starting out with a new MIG welder, impressed so far. Ample shade variation, the grind mode fixed shade looks good. Very light so should be good to wear for a prolonged **. If I have a criticism it's that it's a bit fiddly changing the internal 'lens' (plastic protector for the autodarkening filter as the corner slots are needlessly small. But otherwise, very happy. Be interesting to see how long it lasts but expect good things. He certainly seems to like it.
-
Great Helmet does exactly what it says on the box
-
Never used a welding helmet before but was more than happy that I didn?t have to do that jerking movement with my head to flip it down.
-
Used when welding my car. Good quality, comfortable to wear. Would recommend to everyone.
-
Good
-
Well made and confortable does what it says on the box.
-
Good value helmet for the cost, works as it's supposed to and fine for the occasional user like me.
-
Only used a couple of times for hobby projects. Helmet seems good for the price. I've noticed that the lens sometimes takes a while to clear again, but that could be a setting issue.
-
I like the R-Tech Automatic Welding Helmet (Speed master II) light & adjustable. Recommended
-
Good quality item
-
Really nice featherweight mask. Works a treat and comes with spare inner and outer lenses. Bought a 2 times magnifying lens. Great for old geezers like me.
-
Although cheapest on r tec site it works fine for me.
-
Occasional DIY use (mainly old cars/motorbikes). First auto-darkening helmet I've used, works very well and easy to use. (Also usefully, mine came with spare inside/outside shields.) Very pleased (as have been some fellow amateurs who have also seen it).
-
This is my first and only helmet and comments are from a beginner. Why make them go so dark?? On the lightest shade I struggle to see what I'm welding and quite often fall off the edge! According to Google this is quite usual and it is common to add lighting. Add lighting are we not generating enough of the bright stuff? I've added the magnifying lens to help a bit. As long as I remember to take it off "Grind" it switches quickly. Doesn't accommodate a dust mask with filters. Would have thought that's common as it doesn't appear to have an unusual shape
-
Welding as a hobby, Recommend to anyone for professional or hobby use Good quality product can?t fault it
-
As before
-
Good product reasonable price. Could have got something cheaper on *** but I trust Rtech and it was just what was described
-
👍 good value and quality
-
Using for classic car restoration. Only used it a few time so far but the mask is perfect for what I needed.
-
Quality item, very speedily delivered.
-
Works perfect

Very clear before arc and excellent once welding.

Early days with this helmet but it seems to perform very well. Easy to adjust the screen settings. Light weight. Perfect for the sort of occasional welding which I do.

Great lid. Cheap and cheerful and performs really well
-
Fits well.
-
Easy to use
-
I'll be honest, this is the first auto-darkening helmet I've had. Comfy headband and nice and lightweight. Works superb, loads better than nodding the mask down.
-
Quality of products seem good so far
-
Good quality product for semi professional use. Lots of fitting adjustments and excellent screen. Great value for the price!
-
It does the job it's supposed to , a bit expensive though
-
Great helmet feel very safe welding with it

Good product for the money

Effective, comfortable and safe. Spot on. Great value.

Farm repairs welding and grainding,found the switch from grind to weldig very handy.would recommend to eny of my farming friends.a very good product
-
Looks good
-
Finally got to use the new kit, works very well. Great service from R-Tech
-
Well made helmet had no problems with it at all better made than some others on the market and used every day
-
Great product, good vision even in a badly lit workshop. I have the 2x magnifier fitted for welding up damaged injection mould tools. The best I have used in 28 years in engineering.
-
I am a dedicated DYWer and welding is an integral part of getting things done.So use of the mask is not continual but the use I've had from the mask has been good.Particularly impressed with helmet strap adjustment. One small problem is the instruction manual. Not written too clearly.Would say not written by a first language English speaker
-
Great quality for the price, ideal for me, as I am a self employed metalwork fabricator
-
Good value gor money
-
I use it for MIG welding. It would suit hobbyist and professional. Excellent quality.
-
Good product
-
Excellent product
-
I have used my new welding helmet to help me complete my C&G level 1 MIG welding course. It's a great helmet! Ive recommended R-Tech to other "pupil's" on the course. Im about to start a C&G level 1 TIG course and will continue to promote how much I love the helmet. For the price the quality is superb. As thing's progress Im sure I'll be buying R-Tech equipment for my workshop. Ive only heard good report's about their customer service (which Ive experienced) and have heard excellent thing's specifically about their TIG set's. A friend has an AC/DC TIG set that he rave's over!
-

-
Good product any one

I am using the helmet while learning to weld and the ease of use has been great. I would recommend the product to anyone, either amature or professional. The quality is top quality and great value for the price.

I have not owned one of these and only borrowed a friends, this one was light, comfortable and easy to see through, (before welding), when welding the shading allows me to see whats going on compared to my borrowed one which was always too dark. For the price an excellent bit of kit, well happy
-

Viewing is a lot better than previous helmet
-
I use it to protect my eyes when welding, what else is there? Cheers, ***.
-
for an upcoming birthday.Sorry not used it yet as it is a present.

First class performance for the price
-
comfortable, good protection and looks good.
-
Works extremely well with very simple controls
-
Product used for personal welding jobs Recomend to every body Very pleased with helmet works very well very pleased Recomend to every body
-
I bought this product for a welding course I have started. I haven't welded before so getting the right helmet was important for safety and because I wanted to get the most out of the experience. The helmet has surpassed all expectations. My welds went from awful to borderline acceptable in one lesson.
-
Excellent value for the money and standing up to daily wear and tear nicely.
-
Arrived very promptly (although UPS web-site is not the easiest to navigate if you want to change delivery times etc.). A quick flash from the MIG welder darkened the lens very quickly. Haven't used it for any period of time "in anger" yet, but it seems well made. Time will tell. Excellent service though - so I'll be back.
-
All parts delivered as stated on the web site; all arrived in excellent condition. Thank you for your impressive service
