OVERVIEW

Premium Optical Performance for Professional Fabricators

The Lincoln Electric Viking 3350 Twisted Metal Welding Helmet (K3248-3) represents the pinnacle of protective eyewear technology for the industrial welder. This helmet is engineered with Lincoln's proprietary 4C Lens Technology, which delivers a perfect 1/1/1/1 optical clarity rating according to EN379 standards. This rating ensures that the view through the lens is free from blur, distortion, and inconsistent shading, providing the welder with a high-definition view of the weld puddle and the surrounding workpiece. The "Twisted Metal" graphic adds a distinct, rugged aesthetic suitable for heavy industrial environments.

The 3350 Series is defined by its massive viewing area, measuring 3.74 x 3.34 inches (95mm x 85mm). This expansive field of view improves situational awareness and safety, allowing operators to see more of their work environment without excessive head movement. The auto-darkening filter (ADF) features a variable shade range of 5-13, making it versatile enough for a wide variety of processes including Stick, TIG, MIG, and Flux-Cored welding. With a switching speed of 1/25,000 of a second and four redundant arc sensors, the lens reacts instantly to arc initiation, even in obstructed or out-of-position welding scenarios.

Ergonomics play a critical role in the design of the K3248-3. It utilizes a pivot-style headgear that contours to the operator's head, distributing weight evenly to reduce pressure points and neck fatigue during extended shifts. The external grind button allows for seamless transitions between welding and grinding tasks without the need to remove the helmet or lift the front, thereby maintaining continuous protection and productivity. Powered by a hybrid system of solar cells and replaceable CR2450 batteries, this helmet offers reliability and longevity, backed by a 3-year manufacturer warranty.
