Review: Very Clear Vision - My helmet is not designed to accept this lens. The lens is quite thick robust plastic probably due to getting the 2.5 reader prescription. I am also not sure the lens will help me but wanted to try it anyway. Therefore I had to modify the lens to fit. Height was perfect but width a little too wide. I used a Dremel sanding drum to slowly remove enough plastic from the edges to fit down in my auto darkening insert. Then used black electrical tape on the edges hold it in. There is no visual distortion and I have full vision with no obstruction. The magnification is perfect and even slightly larger than my reading glasses. Hopefully it will help see the welds.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can these lenses work with Jackson Welding Helmets?**
A: It depends on what size internal lens your helmet has. Some welding helmets have the 2" x 4.25" lens on the inside but some have the bigger 4.5" x 5.25" lens. I noticed that the Jackson helmets have some different size lens so I would suggest you remove and measure your internal lens to find the exact size.

**Q: Can this be cut to size to fit my lens frame?**
A: You can probably grind the edges a little to fit a smaller frame, but not a lot & I would be careful.

**Q: will this fit a standard 2x4.25 fibre metal pipeliner sugar scoop without a flip up?**
A: Have no idea about sugar scoops but it appears to be of a standardized size and fit my China auto darkening helmet fairly well.

**Q: i’m looking for a cheater lance for the viking series 1740 adf**
A: Get the Lincoln version, they snap right in.   I tried a generic version, it didn't work.

I purchased this for a Lincoln 3350 series hood. Installation was easy enough and I've used it a few times so far. But, as it's winter up here in the north, it is prone to fogging up on me so I won't have a true impression of it until spring arrives and I can use it and actually see what I'm welding. I does definitely magnify what you are viewing though, and because of the series hood I have, there is room left over it so I can look around without having it magnified.
