Lincoln Electric Cheater Lens | 1.50 Magnification | 2" Height x 4.25" Length | Compatible with Most Welding Helmets | KP3046-150

I bought this and was very satisfied with it. But the only down fall to it, is that it scratches easily. I tried taking really good care of it, but it still ended up scratching. Still giving it two thumbs up and I still bought a couple more.

We are all getting older, and using the "cheater" reading glasses. I was trying to use "cheaters" while welding as well. Except that they kept fogging up from the heat. I was skeptical about trying this item since it was listed so cheap in price. I was wrong! This lens works flawlessly, clips right in, and instant magnification! No more leaning in so far that you can feel the heat while welding. I wish I knew about this item a long time ago. Now if a welding helmet manufacturer can build a better set of headgear instead of the plastic junk ratchet strap that is in ALL welding helmets, things would be good.

Love it. So much better than wearing readers. Does scratch very easily even when using lenses wipes

My eyesight is just gone enough that everything is a little fuzzy within my arms reach and closer. My glasses bifocals never really ligned up well enough in the welding helmet to allow me to see that great without some precise adjustments and head angles. This cheater lens installed easily and has made it so I do not need to "hold my head just right" to see, I just look at what I am doing and go. I am using a Lincoln Electric Viking 1740 helmet.

This lens has done exactly what it was designed to do which is enhance my view so that I could see my welding job efficiently. I wear contacts, do I need reading glasses to see when wearing them. However, with my cheater lens I don't need the reading glasses on with my contacts when welding which is very convenient. It fit perfectly in my welding hood and I would recommend it to others. Great product.

Works just fine for the Harbor Freight flame helmet (around $50 to $60 model). No mods or jacking anything up needed - fights with factory clamp. Excellent vision without having to change glasses.

Fit my hood perfectly. Love the 1.5 magnification. Also purchased 2.5 magnification but preferred the 1.5

I bought this because my up-close vision is slightly bad and, also being colorblind, I had a hard time seeing the puddle when Tig welding aluminum.This does a great job of enabling me to see better when Tig welding. Unfortunately, it does so at the expense of seeing anything else with any clarity. That's a trade-off, I suppose, but it definitely takes away some of the benefits of having an auto-darkening hood (one of which, being I don't have to keep raising and lowering it all the time)
