Buy Sentinel A50 Welding Helmet: www.amazon.com/dp/B07DLGLKC3/?ref=idea_lv_dp_ov_d&tag=onamzzy0b-20&linkCode=ic6&ascsubtag=amzn1.ideas.22IY0MJF4ICZD My review of the ESAB Sentinel A50 Welding Helmet after using it for 3 years. I know this is a random video for my gaming subscribers but I can assure you a lot of welders are looking for reviews on this particular helmet.

[@BittahDemon]

Anyway you could give an honest "review" to your three years as a welder and how your career, salary, and goals have developed as opposed to your expectations? Appreciate it man

[@Adramelek21]

Great review by a real welder ! The "i never grind" gave me a good laugh =)

[@ZybakTV]

Thanks!

[@williamdavidson2233]

Dude thanks for the video man, honestly I was pretty set on a Speedglas like I have at work, but now I’m considering this one!

[@greendayrocks559]

funny enough this seems to be the only "long term" review for welding helmets on the site this long term review alone was enough to make me buy the helmet

[@ZybakTV]

Thanks! That’s what I was going for!

[@davidcardinal3654]

Man ur cool. Was going through my sub list and saw this first. I’d watch a stream with you talking and making cool shit

[@minder5066]

We need more videos like this

[@maxjamieson3341]

I've owned my a50 about 4 year now mig and Tig and love it, still use it daily

[@BasedChorizo]

Now that you have experience, you should totally think about pivoting toward blue collar youtube videos. You can promote the industry and educate people at the same time.

[@jacobcharters6614]

Bought one of these used to replace my aging miller elite cant wait to see the difference with the true color lens technology!

[@MNCasaPro]

I couldn't find a video on your channel about making the lenses last longer. Any chance you might still do that? Unless, it's there and I missed it. Thanks for the great video. I'm picking up a used A50 next week.

[@ZybakTV]

The trick is a wax based glass cleaner. The household cleaning product "Pledge" works well but I personally have found wax based glass cleaner to work the best. The thin film of wax the cleaner puts on your lenses will fill in any tiny scratches that refract light and lead to more sparks bouncing off your lenses rather than burning in.

[@MNCasaPro]

@@ZybakTV Awesome, thanks 😎

[@cyclonezgaming2082]

@@MNCasaProHey, hope you don't mind me asking but how has the A50 helmet working after few months of owning it?? Looking to get one and just seeing what your experience has been

[@MNCasaPro]

@@cyclonezgaming2082 A few months with the helmet and a few years with the welder, and still haven't used either. Hopefully yet this month (before it gets too cold), but I've said that before 🙏

[@defhoez449]

Thanks for the vid, bro....I'm looking at purchasing one of these. I think you sold me on it

[@aaronoutdoors7556]

Would be interesting for you to do a video on welding school and the job you do. I've actually thought about going to school for it cause it seems like there is a shortage now.

[@ZybakTV]

Yea I might do that.

[@KingKC44]

😂 you are a funny guy. Thanks for the info and laughs.

[@katebeckinsnail910]

Now at my new job I'm just stainless Tig welding, so now I feel like I might buy this helmet since my lenses last a long time.

[@Allyourbase1990]

So after you choose the saved setting you want and the display turns back off, can you start welding after that ? And it automatically switches ?? May sound stupid, this is all very new to me

[@ZybakTV]

I believe so. It's been a bit since I've used it.

[@OrangeeTang]

Great review, appreciated.

[@refeerwulf1620]

Looking at replacing a lost Speedglass 9003x...really liking the A50 features...thanks for the review...

[@akgurung9510]

Does ESAB hard hat is compatible with ESAB savage?

[@transsimracer5003]

I have the air version, best headshield i have owned in 40 years of production welding.

[@kellylargent2634]

I just got the helmet and it's super sick !!

[@ZybakTV]

Got it for Christmas? 🎅

[@asmrqueens5608]

oh my god I can’t believe you got it for so cheap, I bought it for 550 and that was one of the cheaper prices

[@Mikey-ym6ok]

If you want to make your lenses last longer, use a car headlight cleaner. The ones with sandpaper. That really sad you’ll deny people (your fellow welders) helpful info. This will make your lens last wayyyy longer.

[@ZybakTV]

That was more of a joke. The tip is actually to use Pledge or some type of cleaning spray that utilizes a wax coating. The slight wax coating will make your lenses last WAY longer.

[@mbyPluto]

But why not speed glass the grind settings is bad on a50

[@Rasmusdud]

Zybak should I go to welding school or will I just get replaced by a robot if I do

[@bicentricbrute8097]

it'll be a while before robots take over

[@ZybakTV]

You won't get replaced by a robot but there's a good chance you'll have the opportunity to run one if you can learn some basic programming. Robotic welding jobs are typically filled by welders. As someone who's dealt with the struggles of robotic welding I can assure you the welding robots we have today are dumb as fuck. There's a ton of variables in welding that humans naturally compensate for that robots really struggle with.

[@davidcardinal3654]

Become an instrumentation technician. They will replace plant operators. Instrument techs calibrate and troubleshoot instrumentation equipment critical in controlling processes. They deal with temperature, pressure, and various intensive engineering principles. Techs are just as competent as plant operators, if not better.( America call them stationary engineers, not technically engineers). If you are good at math take a course like that. Welding is a good trade, but yes to start will largely replace you, but not in industrial settings. Shits very complicated and humans will always be required but small market for that talent.

[@davidcardinal3654]

Don’t become a robot welder. You are nothing more but a glorified Cnc machinist to your management. You aren’t as skilled in the eyes of then even if you have mild welding experience. The best welded become B pressure welders in Canada. It’s a special competency that grants permission to weld pressure vessels. Regular welding isn’t worth it unless you decide to do something artistic or are very ambitious and start a contracting company with your own truck somewhere. Pressure welders make the real money.

[@davidcardinal3654]

Not sure if America has special designations like b pressure welding.

[@oscarjimenez1211]

Would you recommend this for mig welding outdoors(patio) in the sunlight?

[@ZybakTV]

I'd imagine it'd be fine for that.

[@agautoworx40]

Great video. Thanks for the review!

[@bluen1]

Great video. Did you make the video how to make lens working longer? 🙏

[@ZybakTV]

Any kind of wax based glass cleaner is preferable. Pledge furniture cleaner is fantastic. That little bit of a wax coating it has makes sparks not stick to your lenses.

[@bluen1]

@@ZybakTV great information 🙏

[@nathanmattera6846]

I have debated on getting this helmet, i have the viking 3350 and the miller digital elite. Both really great. Miller digital is in the same category as this esab, the helmetscovers lense are unique and not universal. Although i really want to buy the esab i wont buy it right now cause its not something i need. But i like to collect different welding helmets. But i am definitely going to look into their cheaper entry helmet.

[@rook3364]

Miller helmet sucks tbh I’ll go with Lincoln

[@phitsf5475]

Don't buy the esab

[@gn4844]

Awesome. I'm just happy to see some content from you! Do you have a discord?

Thanks!

[@TheInvertical]

Any chance for some more podcasts?:D I miss those

[@ZybakTV]

Yea I want to do them more often for sure. We made one not too long ago.

[@Broski2322]

The cheapy one from screwfix aint bad

[@TxMx214]

For someone who calls himself a “perfect welder” that grind button on your hood is fairly used..... I’d say it’s had enough work maybe much more than normal. But then again why would yours be used since you’re a “perfect welder” right?

[@ZybakTV]

It’s a joke. 😂

[@FAT_MALARNO]

Wow I’m speechless

[@MrStealUGirl]

I've purchased 4 of them for my employees(3yrs ago) 2 of them have been great the other 2 have weird ticks where it will not darken & will cause random arc flash takes 5+ minutes to finally come back & work again (not in grind mode).

[@conni78]

Esab A50 it's good but I changed it to Kemppi beta e90

[@808mafiawelds7]

I’ve used this helmet for a month already and the glass distorts and stops fitting snug, but it seems like the rest of the lenses never fit right after that first one, so it makes it real easy for dust particles to start forming inside your visor. Good helmet, bad lenses. What a waste.

[@ZybakTV]

You by chance doing thick steel or are very close to the arc?

[@808mafiawelds7]

@@ZybakTV yeah i had to make 2 aluminum beads vertical up and i was jammed up in there so the hood was fairly close to the arc, was thinking the new lense would fit right but it warped the whole helmet, cheap plastic.

[@jimmyrays5522]

Please come out with the video soon!

[@Mikey-ym6ok]

If you’re talking about how to make your lens last longer? Auto headlight cleaner.

[@Andyoptrel]

Not a bad helmet, but the Chinese made blower unit for the papr version is rubbish

[@stephanferreira4253]

Cool helmet 👍

[@Lifeofawelder]

I noticed this delay, VERY annoying, to flash yourself every arc strike

[@ZybakTV]

Try messing with the sensitivity settings.

[@Lifeofawelder]

@@ZybakTV yep like you said once set to about 3or above sensitivity the problem goes away, I have this mask for also about 3years, also nothing broke yet, I do change sweatbands tho 😵 they get super disgusting after awhile. Plus I use the air ready version with papr, you know whats SUPER annoying? Replacing the face seal, they never seem to fit right, add insult esab went with a velcro solution that just lets go after awhile...

Lmao it will do that.. ive heard from people that use grinders 😭

[@krakenslaper1996]

i bought this helmet today, came with 5 lenses, i will rub liquid cel phone screen armor on them..........um..........I am happy as a pig in sh*t with this helmet..........p.s. I do not yet know if the liquid cel phone screen armor is compatible with the lense plastic, i may have to ruin one to find out...........but if it works, these lenses will last a life time of tig welding

[@ZybakTV]

Yea if you're only TIG welding you may legitimately never have to replace the lenses.

$330!!! thats a price for a bloody welder, and its probably not made in the US.
