[TheForge] Auto darkening ?

[peter fels]

I finally bought a fancy one, after cheeping out on the prior 2.
And i must say it's worth the money, if you spend much time behind a welding SHIELD.
The various adjustments increase visibility , etc,  and the headgear is much more comfortable and secure.
Oh yeah, i haven't had to glue it back together once!
If you only use it for the odd zap or tack and only a few hours a year...the cheapy is fine.
