[TheForge] Auto darkening helmets on eBay

Tue Feb 19 19:59:00 2002

No I wish I did though, and one that could do tig also, I didnt have a tig
machine when I bought it so I have to drag out the old flip helmet whenever
I tig now, which makes me realise how good an auto helmet really is. I have
the smaller window and find its fine, never even felt the need for a larger
viewable area but then again Ive never used one with a big window. The
cheaper units are around half the price of the speedglass ones, if they are
as fast reacting I'd give them a whirl, there were only about 2 brands here
when I bought mine, now you can get them at auto stores, chain wharehouses
etc.
