auto dark welding helmets what U use
I have a Miller auto darkening helmet. Love it cause it also has a slot to slide a magnifying lens in it if your vision is not great like mine. The very first corrective lens I grabbed (a 1.25 magnification if I remember right) was perfect. I noticed some auto dark helmets only go down to #10 while others go down to 9. Since your like me and don't see good make sure to get one that goes down to shade #9 cause welding thin stuff on low settings will be hard to see on a #10. My Miller is actually a 2 in one helmet in that you can flip up the welding helmet part and leave the inner part down that is clear for grinding. It too has an adjustment on how dark I want it and how fast I want it to react to light and if I want it to immediately go light again when the arc stops or delay it a second. It also has an oversize viewing area. You can get a HF (or any other off brand) helmet cheaper and they are a big improvement over a std helmet but it won't be the same quality a Miller (or other top brand) is IMO.
