my other friend actually bought a cheapy off ebay for around 40 and the only thing i dont like is its not adjustable so if your welding and all of a sudden you accidently hit a rust spot your eyes tend to pay the price there so im looking for adjustable speeds and stuff like that ....im leaning towards the first one but yea let me know my budget of coarse i dont want to shovel out a lot as im on a budget but to be able to weld better due to something as simple as this i like the idea of being able to see easier instead of flipping and flopping my other helmet around....which can be trouble some underneath a car....

Haven't had a chance to test this helmet yet, but if a 40+ year vet tells me its good i usually don't question their judgment

The only complaint he had on this helmet was if he were welding non stop all day his eyes felt sore, stressed but not damaged of course. And of course we pulled the cheesy flame decals off lol.

For the few hours a day i planned on welding he said it would work fine.
