A picture with the $400.00 Speed-Glass hood. Not much if any difference in the lens quality. This hood is not recommended for out of position welding IE. overhead using FCAW or SMAW. So it has now been regulated to my shop work and GTAW only.By the way I'm using a small Hobart 140 welder...

"I'm right handed, but write left handed . And shoot a rifle left. Shot my Bow Right handed." You and I are a lot alike. I write and eat left handed, throw with either hand but better with my right, bat from either side but better from the left, weld with either hand (welding instructor) but...
