Forney 57061 Lens Replacement Gold Welding Filter, 2-Inch-by-4-1/4-Inch, Shade-10

Very clear lens for the price. Probably not suitable for long term stick or metal core; for a ten shade it does get a bit too bright. welding, but for hardwire mig or tig it really is a lovely lens. Somewhat durable, I’ve dropped my hood from 6 foot horses and this lens has stayed intact. I just ordered a far more expensive lens at $40, but I bought 2 more of these in case I don’t like that pricy one as much. That should tell you what I think about these lenses.For less than $20 these lenses are on par with a Miller elite set to 9.

I’ve welded with $160 passive lenses and this one isn’t quite that clear but for the price It’s unbeatable, I’m tough on my hood and I’d rather break a 10$ lense than a 160$ lense.

Golden lens golden view, much nicer than the cheap green glass.

The clearing is unsurpassed, would have been 5 stars but the #10 lens I purchased was more like a #9 . When I used sunglasses with the lens it was flawless you can see the puddle in such clarity it’s amazing. I love it but if it were a true #10 it would be the greatest lens i ever owned

Great lens. Was hoping to get an amber arc as other reviews had posted. Unexpectedly I got a something similar to the wens lens and I'm very happy with it. I find it frustrating to use anything else now. I also purchased a 9 shade which for most applications wasn't dark enough and left my eyes a little sore. But the 10 is superb ! I can't see it being much better than this, as long as the lens isnt mucked up its perfect !If possible put a clear lens in front and behind.

Arrived undamaged, works great, the weld puddle is very clear, has a few minor manufacturing imperfections on the off side of the glass what appears to be dust, but I cant clean it off, un-noticeable when using, but if your alittle OCD you just cant quite make it perfectly clean, again I don't notice it when its in the helmet and 2 inches from my eyes. Its crystal clean at that point, and very crisp during operation, I will buy more as needed

So years back a fellow welder always used gold coated welding lenses. He said it gave better contrast when welding. My eyes were good then. But now I can see (pardon the pun) why this welder was right... the gold coating helps with seeing what you are welding.

I am impressed by this lens. You can just see everything a bit clearer with this one. The color is greenish-blue.
