[TheForge] Auto darkening helmets on eBay

Wed Feb 20 08:31:02 2002

    Some one told me once that "only the rich can afford to buy cheap
goods, because they buy them more than once" Last year I broke down and
bought the top of the line Optrel helmet. I got it from Mississippi
Welding Supply, they were running a sale and I paid $190.00 for it at
that time. It has improved my welding 100%, and is the one item no one
but me, uses. If you want to give them a call their # is 1-800-657-4422
