[TheForge] Shopping for a welding helmet

[Ralph Sproul]

I don't know about the Harbor Freight units, but I picked up a Miller Elite
helmet with the #2 shade at rest with the sinsitivity, delay, and shade
adjusters on it - and it's light weight, the optics are GREAT!, and it's
year two and I'm still thrilled every time I use it.  Well worth the $180 I
paid for it.
