0700102042 - ESAB Swarm A10 Fixed Shade 11 Auto-Darkening Helmet

Affordable Protection with the ESAB Swarm A10

The ESAB Swarm A10 Welding Helmet (0700102042) represents the ideal entry point for welders seeking professional-grade protection without the premium price tag. Designed with the hobbyist, student, and maintenance professional in mind, the Swarm A10 strips away unnecessary complexity to focus on what matters most: reliable eye protection and clear visibility. This helmet features a fixed Shade 11 Auto-Darkening Filter (ADF), which is the industry standard darkness level for the vast majority of general welding applications, including MIG/MAG and Stick welding.

Crystal Clear Optics

Unlike many budget helmets that suffer from cloudy or uneven lenses, the Swarm A10 boasts a CE Optical Class rating of 1/1/1/2. This ensures a crisp, distortion-free view of the weld puddle, allowing for better bead placement and higher quality welds. The viewing area measures 92 x 42 mm (3.6 x 1.65 in), providing ample field of view to track your work comfortably. With two dedicated arc sensors, the lens detects the arc start instantly—within 0.1 milliseconds—ensuring your eyes are protected the moment you strike an arc.

Reliable Power and Comfort

Reliability is key when you are under the hood. The Swarm A10 utilizes a hybrid power system combining solar cells with replaceable CR2032 batteries. This ensures the lens is always ready when you are. A convenient "Test" button allows you to verify the ADF is functioning correctly before you even put the helmet on, adding an extra layer of safety. The shell itself is streamlined and lightweight, designed to minimize neck strain during long sessions in the garage or workshop. Whether you are repairing farm equipment or building a DIY project, the Swarm A10 delivers the comfort and performance you need.
