I am a retiree who takes on certain projects I am just coming to the end of building myself a trailor and I would recomend the helmet I used which came from your company to anyone the quality was excelent
-
Great product, the head bands are way better than my equally priced other brand mask and the true colour is nice.
-
Personal use
-
Works well.
-
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.
-
Great helmet, but the settings don’t seem to make any difference
-
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
-
Excellent
-
Nice solid helmet
-
Does exactly what it should do
-
Simple functional and perfect for my needs
-
Would recommend to anyone welding, great quality
-
Excellent value for money, like the true colour feature.
-
Good fit works very well
-
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.
-
Great helmet easy to use. Good value
-
such good quality i bought another one
-
Very good value
-
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
-
Great quality and easy to set up to my preferences.
-
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.
-
Good quality for the price, delivery was quick and would definitely buy again from this company.
-
Great very happy with the welder and prompt delivery.
-
Great value for money, 5star.
-
Very comfortable, easy to use, only used it for a couple of hours so far, but very happy with it.
-
All good
-
Welding. Gd quality

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

-
Perfect thanks
-
Great company Great product
-
Not used yet so cannot comment.
-
*** *** of kit. Very reactive lens, and great for the money.
-
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
-
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.
-
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,
-
Works great
-
Easy to use and adjust. Also very robust
-
Only done one job and performed well.
-
Works well
-
Works well

My Grandson was delighted with his present.
-
Great bit of kit does what it says on the box
-
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 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.
-
Brill
-
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.
-
Used the helmet repairing my case backhoe machine it was comfortable to wear and good view of work when welding
-
Perfect, no need to keep changing batteries either.
-
Looks good , comfortable to wear, some I believed are not.
-
First very helmet I’ve owned done the job so far
-
Works well, enough room to keep my glasses on underneath.
-
At last I can see exactly where I am putting the welding rod
-
Fantastic and easy to switch from cut to weld to grind settings.
-
Brilliant once you get used to it.
-
Great!

Wow brilliant bit of kit I can actually see what I’m doing works a treat very pleased
-
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.
-
It’s too small. My nose is on the glass all the time. Uncomfortable
-
Good price good helmet
-
Comfortable to wear, very quick response and useful grinding setting.
-
Entry level mask with a difference. I couldnt ask for anything more from this mask.
-

-
Works very well. Grinding setting and general adjustability excellent
-
Very good
-
Comfy and works very well ideal for my first proper welding mask
-
Faultless. Does what it's supposed to.
-
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.
-
Good helmet

surprisingly good quality for the price
-
*** auto helmet.
-
Does as it says
-
excellent quality
-
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.
-
Absolute quality item, worth every penny.
-
Great, fast acting and reliable
-
Highly recommend this mask
-
bought as a backup helmet, works brilliantly.
-
Great service, brilliant thanks
-
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.
-
Used it for one day very please with this product
-
Works really well. Comfortable helmet can also be used for grinding. spares available from Rtech which is good.
-
Great quality
-
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.
-
My first automatic welding mask. Easy to set up and easy to use.
-
Very good all round
-
It is new, so I would expect it to be good. But I am very happy with the shield
-
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
-
Excellent
-
Good quality welding helmet for the money, very pleased.

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. 👍

DIY welding mainly motorcycles and general small workshop work
-
Great helmet
-
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.
-
I use this in a private workshop with a MIG welder. Easy to use and comfortable.
-
Spot on for the money
-
** 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.
-
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 fit, clear vision. Excellent product.
-
Good quality item at a reasonable cost.

-
Looks very good quality, not used it yet, very comfy and easily adjusted
-
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
-
Used when welding my car. Good quality, comfortable to wear. Would recommend to everyone.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Good quality item
-
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
-
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.
-
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
-
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).
-
Good product reasonable price. Could have got something cheaper on *** but I trust Rtech and it was just what was described
-
Quality item, very speedily delivered.
-
Welding as a hobby, Recommend to anyone for professional or hobby use Good quality product can’t fault it
-
As before
-
👍 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.
-
Excellent for the price
-
Works perfect
-
Very clear before arc and excellent once welding.

I cannot see the weld clearly enough even with glasses on and set for mig etc
-
Works fine. A bit flimsy.

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.

Fits well.
-
Great lid. Cheap and cheerful and performs really 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
-
It does the job it's supposed to , a bit expensive though
-
Good quality product for semi professional use. Lots of fitting adjustments and excellent screen. Great value for the price!

-
Finally got to use the new kit, works very well. Great service from R-Tech
-
Looks good
-
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.
-
Well made helmet had no problems with it at all better made than some others on the market and used every day
-
Good value gor money
-
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
-
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!
-

-
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.

The only negative is the instruction booklet isn't the best.
