Esab Sentinel A50 Review and comparison to Viking 3350

We are in the shop again today checking out the Esab Sentinel A50. This is a totally unsponsored review! I’ll tell you what I think and how it compares to my Viking 3350 mask.

[@esabweldingandcutting]

Hey there, thanks so much for taking the time to review our hood, we appreciate you!

[@ShakeJuntJr]

Esab rebel is a bad motha

[@donkEEpunch85]

Just ordered a Lincoln Viking last week. After seeing the ESAB here, I really wish I'd seen all the features beforehand. I'm sure the Viking helmet will be amazing but, I'm really digging the ESAB now. Dammit... Looks like a fantastic product @ESAB!! I'll have to check you guys out in the near future!

[@Mikey-ym6ok]

Just ordered your esab a-50 I cant freaking wait till it gets here. Edit: i noticed light leaking inside the hood where the two arms connects the cartridge to the shell And where you push the tab in that holds the lens to the shell. My flashlight doesn’t lie. plus its way too bright wayyyy too bright. Have to have my hood on 13 for around 120 amps. Cmon.. really? Also the lens sits very loose on the hood. I can see dust and weld metal dots getting inside the hood and sticking on the filter, sensors, and the solar cell. Which! Is partly blocked by the way the shell is shaped. Honestly very disappointed. Wished I put some thought into my purchase. Please fix these issues.

U better pick him up bruh!

[@phitsf5475]

Esab sentinel sucks and i tell everyone who sees mine not to buy it. Thoughtless garbage. Having owned an Eye-tech for 15 years i am bitterly disappointed

[@melgross]

I have the Sentinel 50. It’s a great hood. Comfortable for long time use. Other features are 4 sensors, so it detects the arc from about anywhere. It also has a solar cell plus the batteries, and tells you when the batteries are low. I’ve had this for over a year, and no battery change yet.

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Awesome Mel! Yeah it’s a pretty sweet hood I’m glad to hear the battery has lasted that long. Thanks for watching!

[@TYMWLTL]

Good honest review. I'm leaning towards a Lincoln also. Optical clarity matters when you get older, like myself. Not buying it on Amazon however, going to a brick and mortar so I can get local support, I hope. Thanks a lot for taking the time to compare.

[@thatwascrap5014]

I love how you say why can’t anyone put those two hoods together! Well said

[@quintayperry8684]

i have a viking 3350 it got me thru welding school and into a new welding job💪🏾 thank u for your review

[@krauselee877]

Bought the optrel vega view 2.5 and holy crap has my welding life changed... its amazing. No question clearest lens ive ever looked through

[@jstinnette]

The 4th gen 3350 has the outer button for grind mode now and also has the same blinking light to let you know your in grind mode, and as a side note also comes in matte black

[@Nappylox71]

Thanks for comparing the two. I am thinking about buying a welding helmet for my son for his birthday. As you said, the A50 has a lot of cool features (that touchscreen is the bombdiggity). But the 3350 has the much larger view area and that 4c lens. I was leaning towards the 3350 and you helped push me over, lol.

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Thanks for watching Neal, I think your son will be very happy with the 3350. The ESAB is a great choice too, and definitely a “sexier” helmet but when you’re actually welding, give me the 3350 every time! Hope he likes it!

[@mikesch7672]

The comfort of the esab is absolutely amazing. And don't fool yourself, the grind button is probably the best feature on the hood. Extremely well designed and thought through.

[@Mikey-ym6ok]

The esab. -2 out of 10. sucky product.

[@mikesch7672]

@@Mikey-ym6ok lol. I seriously doubt you have ever even used one. I have had mine for over 3 years and can absolutely without hesitation say, you're a clown.

Its like you made this video just for me. I have the 3350 but not the 4C. was thinking about the Esab because my buddy has one and likes it. for literally the same reasons as you, I am going to get the new 4C 3350. Thank you for making this.

[@WTFisAuserFRCKINname]

Thanks for the honesty. Personally, I’ve learned in life that I can’t trust touch screen. I like knobs on my equipment, appliances, etc. I like the headgear on the ESAB better though.

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Yeah I’m kind of a “simpler is better” kind of person too. Thanks for watching!

just looking to up grade my lincoln viking and viewing area and clarity are key ,positive with esab is external grind button as have to use air fed system

[@zewk9395mgk]

I've used both hoods the sentinel is very comfortable on your head but when it comes to visibility I personally like the viking 3350 because of the bigger lens and the blue tint

[@Backfire10]

Loved your review. Thank you Sir

[@Dalton0394]

I've used a Lincoln Electric (not sure exact model, looks just like the 3350 though) for a good 4 years, held up well. Love the big viewing area. Comfortable. New job gave me an A50 so I gave it a shot. It's...ok. I weld aluminum so don't care for the grind button since I never have sparks flying when grinding. The viewing area is ok. The sensitivity though drives me NUTS. I work with 3 other guys building RV walls and so when I'm done and jump up to help them their welders always set my hood off even if they're not very close to me or I'm not even looking in their direction. Also, the knobs on the side to adjust the "fold down" or whatever you'd call it always loosen on mine and it drives me crazy having to tighten them all the time. I'll take my old Lincoln electric over this fancy touchscreen one for sure.

[@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754]

Got this helmet last year and love it!!! Dont care about price it's worth it. Local NAPA had it for 260.

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Yes it is a sweet helmet. That’s a great price you found!

[@anonymousproactivist1756]

I've owned that esab helmet for 3 years as a welder working mon.- fri. It was a great helmet and still works today but after about a year of weekly welding, you will be able to bend them corners with the head gear inward. After 2 years they go all the way in with the flexibility from heat warp. Also after about 3 years, that front lense will not seal gases as you weld due to the warping itself and makes it harder to replace lenses after time. Bought myself a Lincoln 4c 3350! Esab did its job but for $20-$25 per outer lense? No thank you. Great video by the way!

[@dimitrijesavkovic2794]

worked 2 years with that hood never had those problems o.O what the fuck are you welding bro? xD some THICCC shit i guess 300amp welds? xd

[@captainrutabeggacrossout8482]

Where i work its nonstop gmaw welding so i assume i wont have heat warping issues. Are you welding fcaw or smaw or something?

[@ShakeJuntJr]

Honestly the review was awesome. My instructor in welding school was a weldporn guy. Scott was his name. Sponsored by esab so any chance he got he was letting students use his sentinel. But I also used the 3350 from a bud of mine in school. The sentinel is awesome but the 3350 was just a tad better. So I ended up getting a pipeliner to be cool. Now the headgear is straight cheeks. But I'm going to get the 3350 because it's time to upgrade from that ol small lens.

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Thanks Neil yeah they’re both great hoods! Can’t really go wrong either way but sounds like you agree with me!

[@durantetest]

I also prefer better lense clarity and size on the Viking. Thanks for sharing.

[@JohnDoe-et3tm]

The filter cartridge size of both helmets is the same. If you want the gear of the sentinel, is only around 35 dollars for the shell and the headgear, plus around 10 dollar more for a pack of clear lenses. All you need to do is to find a way to attach the Viking adf cartridege to the A50 shell, which should not be too difficult. The opposite is also true and you can put the sentinel adf on the viking shell if you do a little bit of mod.

[@averagebloke4474]

Can you please review the Miller T94?

[@paddlepower888]

After a harrowing helmet failure (sub $50 Antra) I want a good lid. Last paragraph of users manual said "We recommend a use for a period of 3 years, but no longer than 5 years. " Thanks for posting! Update of 2020, July 9: I thought the "check battery" button didn't work so I found some batteries to replace those in the Antra. The battery light still didn't light. I bought fresh ones and put those in. Everything worked. I would have had the same experience with a $200 helmet. My bad

[@Jursaw]

I have the same helmet. I was looking at the viking 3350

[@Allyourbase1990]

Just got the sentinel A50. It’s pretty awesome

[@thewampus97tj]

I appreciate this review. Im pretty much sold on the 3550.

[@tylerjones4]

with the clear lense, what’s the tint and color of the puddle? like clearish?

[@joemeier659]

which one is better for stick/mig welding?

[@markbreidenbaugh6033]

I love my 3350. I have been looking at trying the new optrel crystal 2.0 or the speedglas 9100xxi. I am a junkie for new gear so I am fine saving up to afford one of those. Thanks for a Great video.

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Thanks Mark, I was tempted to buy an Optrel as well only reason I didn’t was because none of my local welding shops carry clear lenses or any other parts for them and I didn’t want to have to order everything. Thanks for watching!

[@markbreidenbaugh6033]

@@farmertylerranch4399 yeah the lense availability is a big deal and I love how available the lenses for the 3350 are. I figured when I eventually get one of these others I would us my 3350 for stick and mig and use the other one for tig welding then the lense issue is not much of one.

[@farmertylerranch4399]

That’s smart. You can use headlight restore on clear lenses too and it makes them like new. I’ll probably do a video on that soon

[@stefanbrown8176]

XXI isn't worth the money I have had one and sold it and went to the XX the true colour thing doesn't interest me and when you start throwing fancy stuff in em they don't last

[@codprawn]

Thanks for such a great unbiased review. Makes a nice change. A mate of mine has just bought the Miller Digital Elite. He went for that as there more room underneath for his airfed mask. Have you tried the Miller? What did you think of it?

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Haven’t had a chance to try it

[@trailerpark187]

How do the arc colors compare. I have a sentinel. I like everthing about it except the head gear. The knobs keep coming loose. And the outside cover lens scratches so easy. Esab kinda aqua blueish green. Never tried the 4c

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Arc colors are actually pretty similar, the 4c is a little bluer than the a50 although it’s way more noticeable in the light stage. I agree about the cover lens scratching too easy, noticed that the first time I set it down, great point! Thanks for watching!

[@mikemontgomery4570]

I had the same problem with the headgear. Im switching to an optrel panoramaxx

[@dennisa6132]

Interesting review, I am looking at both of these hoods, but where I am the lincoln is 325 euros and the ESAB is 279 euros. Those are the cheapest local prices I could find. When it comes to build quality, which do you feel is more robust? Which one is more likely to be functional in 10 years?

[@farmertylerranch4399]

They are both built well. When it comes to longevity I really can’t say for sure. My guess is the Lincoln would give you less problems over time due to its simpler design (dials instead of touchscreen, standard clear lens, etc). Hope that is helpful, good luck with your decision!

[@petepetepumkineat6308]

Great review 👍👍

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Thanks Pete!

[@Backfire10]

Will a breathing filter fit under the A50 ?

[@garypostell5268]

Great looking hood !

[@whatfreedom7]

I could see myself blink when the grind light blinks and completely miss it or just forget all about or then go try to weld something.

[@gitanoespana7694]

The Esab is cool but the cover lens will scratch real easy. Definitely need a bigger lens on the Esab.

[@iGhillieSnipezz]

Which helmet feels lighter on your head?

[@matthewsteel4496]

the only think a viking is lacking compared to the esabs stuff is the lack of a grind button which no i have seen one i have to have one just makes em more versatile

[@obi-shankenobi5891]

Ive asked this question to A50 owners and ive never gotten a response...does it fit a large 3m half mask respirator with pancake filters while the hood is down?

[@karlrinebold4615]

With pancake filters it's a really tight fit, you can get it to fit if you adjust the shell all the way away from your face, but personally I don't like doing that. I do however use the low profile miller welding half mask under this hood. It has flush mount filters, the straps are freaking cheesy but it fits better under the A-50 with it close to your face.

[@ChrisGilliamOffGrid]

I've had that thing on my wish list for months... 😉

[@farmertylerranch4399]

It’s pretty sweet! Thanks for watching Chris

[@craighudson2696]

You want the air fed one it's so comfy with inner in

[@busancun]

Anybody knows how long the battery of Sentinel A50 lasts considering the LED panel that seems to consume a lot of power?

[@90baspencer]

ESAB says 800 hours plus solar charging to help keep batteries fully charged.

[@PBS-nm1uu]

thanks for the info

[@Tha_AntiChrist]

The Lincoln isn’t rated for overhead welding because the sparks will melt into the square frame of the viewing screen. I’m about to buy the ESAB for that reason and everything else you mentioned too.

[@5150farmsactual]

I've spent 6 years welding a ton of overhead and with my head wedged in all sorts of crappy spaces, with 5P, 7P+, 70-18, 80-18 and 110-18 with the Lincoln and it's still going strong.

[@Darthreloy]

Is the touch screen actually better? Or, is just muscle memory with knobs faster and easier.

[@farmertylerranch4399]

What I don’t like about the touch screen is you have to remove gloves to use it

[@nadeenflynn9673]

Very cool!

[@Tonys_Podium]

I have the Esab, the outer protectors are about £30 for 5 pack. The Lincoln’s are about £10 a 5 pack. The helmet tends to roll over and rest directly on the screen scratching it very easily. Touch screen is a little bit of a gimmick, you need to take your gloves off to use it. I never change the setting anyway. It is a comfortable helmet though.

[@Iwontreadyourreply]

Never understood people who rest their helmets face down on the lens. Are you actively trying to scratch it? Takes the same amount of time to rest it right side up. But hey, if you want to change your lens more by all means. Not my money

[@Tonys_Podium]

@@Iwontreadyourreply the Esab is prone to rolling over and resting on the lense.

[@GerraldFarms]

Hey buddy my son started welding school Monday. He wants the ESAB A 50. Do you think it’s a good helmet for him to wear at school? Have a good one

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Hey Jacky it’s a good hood for sure. The only problem I think he could have with it is constantly scratching up the clear lens when he sets it down. The way those are designed the clear lens takes a real beating whereas other hoods have a lip around it that protects it. Tell him good luck!

How does protecting your retina so you can see your grandkids faces one day make your "whuss"?

[@thewobblywelder8362]

I can’t find a better auto dark helmet than my Lincoln Viking. That thing has been dead nuts reliable over the last six or so years and I have abused the piss out of it! Love the sensor response and the clarity through the window. I’ve used it for every operation known to welding aside from underwater of course lol. Thing has been a champ! I recently tried setting up one of the higher end Miller lids strictly for tig welding and I can’t stand the damn thing. The sensors suck and the window is grainy or something. Just not a fan of it... love millers machines, not a fan of their gear... I would love to try out one of these sentinels sometime. I think they have a lot of good ideas with that hood but maybe need a bit more refinement. Excited to see what they have in store in the future! Thanks for the video! God bless!

[@olsparkywisenheimer8239]

I think the trick is to take it out of the bag before you start welding..🤣

[@weldingwarrior4life352]

I will stay with Lincoln viking and the knobs. There is a reason welding shields have a protective lens on the inside . Sparks will find a way in to the hood speaking from experience. I had the sentinel and a spark landed on touchscreen and didn't work properly anymore..

[@davidshifflet5933]

I think u should of shower us what it looks like to weld wt ur Lincoln bud

[@patrickfarley8036]

Dude, if you ever get tired of others using your hood, throw a cheater lens in there! Once people see that most times they just put it right down. Btw it maybe just the angle of the filming of the video, but you look as though your face is pretty close to the weld. Now don't get me wrong, I ain't the safety police or anything! I would never stop someone from killing themselves if that's what they want. Not my business! However, i had no one to teach me to weld early on so all i had was bad habits. Then an old timer showed me two things in particular that helped alot. First, with the work in front of me I should stand up straight and square to the work. Then with my torch hand (mig gun here) and my elbow resting against my ribs, this creates the triangle of distance I should have while welding. Not that I should weld in this position but just as a gauge of how far my head should be from the work when possible. It's easier on your back, your face is out of the smoke which is bad for your lungs and eyes and a smaller viewing lens in your hood at a distance shows alot more area around your work. Which brings me to the second thing. The shade and size of your lens. Ok you like the large viewing area. Alot of people do. But I think it's only because most people are claustrophobic to some degree. When welding you can only see a very small area around the bead anyway so the large viewing area doesn't help us see any better. So, it's probably a mental thing. Claustrophobia. Nothing to be ashamed of, but something to overcome! But from a practical perspective if you have a small lens and want to see more you pull your head back far enough to see what you NEED to see. This is where shades come into play. If using a fixed lens or auto darkening, when looking through the clear lens get your distance. I'd start with a shade 12 and weld. If you find you have to lean in the weld to see it, change to a 10. Still have to lean in? Keep going until you can see without hurting your eyes. And remember stick, mig and TIG all have different shade requirements. One shade does not fit all! If you get the right shade but still can't see the puddle without leaning in then try cheaters! That's what they are for. They bring the work closer to you so you don't have to get closer to the work! You have pretty good technique, those beads look really good! Like I say, you do what suits you best, who the "f" am I anyway! You may be plenty far away and it may just be the angle of the video, but someone did me a solid and I'm just trying to pay it forward. Hope you don't mind. I'm liking your videos. I hope you keep them coming! Peace

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Thanks Patrick I’m glad you posted that. I too really didn’t have any formal training so I’m always glad to hear advice from others. I might give a cheater lens a try just to see if it helps. I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel, thanks a lot for watching and commenting!

Here's the truth the Viking 3350 has a small viewing area it second largest then the EASAB but the King of all of them and I know as I own all of them is the Miller Digital infinity elite largest viewing area in the market to date way clearer then even the Lincoln 3350 with the C4 lens As for the hoods performance it all depends what you weld if you weld on a bench all day they all work great but when you start to weld out of position this is where they all fall short of the Miller as the Miller has this little thing called X-Mode where it uses the magnetic pulse from the welder to trigger the lens not the arc so when your a Motorsports welder or welding in a pipe rack you can still weld even though the light sensors have not got a direct light to trigger then This makes the Miller a hands down winner if you have to weld anywhere but on a bench all day Truth be told my Esab is used for T.I.G on the bench welding Headers , Aluminum bungs things like that but when I go to weld chassis Roll cages it Miller all the way Don't waste your money ether one of these BUY A Miller Digital Infinity Elite

MAIN reason you don’t need a bloody touch screen in a welding helmet is cost. A $100 hood will do the same thing as a $700 hood. Protects your eyes. Don’t be fooled. More money doesn’t always mean better.
