Can anybody make any reccomendations on the auto darkening welding helmets? Specifically for tig welding.
Thanks

Most people go out and buy a nice welder and the cheapest welding hood and shield they can find.They wonder why they cant wel nice.If you can see what you are welding your welds turn out much nicer.Some guys that have worked for me welded crappy till i let them use a good helmet. If you use the old style hood,buy 3 or 4 different shades ,if you cant see the puddle lighten the shade one more.It is so surprising how peoples welds improve.
Thats what got me away from them, the early ones were not very good, I think I will look into a new one. I think the first one I had was a Jackson. Time to check into a new shop gadget.KevinRon Babos said:John: No problemmo. I think you'll like it especially if you tried the early Optrels, and got turned off by them. What a piece of crap they were.
