I run a Miller. Screw harbor freight. My eyesight ain't worth knockoff trash. Too many counterfeit products out there!

If you're going to tig, buy a name brand helmet, the tig frequencies aren't always enough to trip the shade on the hf hoods.

A better hood has a better lens, the cheap ones are darker lenses all the time because the shade is nfg

This!

I was seeing spots after using a chinese lense and no-name helmet.

Never had a problem mig welding with a cheap helmet, but the tig will not cut me any slack!

I threw the damn thing in the trash, proper. A week ago, I bought this;

This is what I see, looking from the inside;

For the price and its features, I have yet to use or see a better helmet.

What sold me were the four unique position arc sensors and the #3 shade vs most #4 when off. It has adjustable sensitivity, adjustable return delay (nice for pulse welding) 9-13 shade on a light #3 "off" shade and a button for grind mode, which leaves it at #3. This mode is awesome for alternating conditions, like seeking and correcting pinholes or working on sheet metal, when you alternate quickly between grinding and welding.

The sensors trip at 5amps DC on my TIG and I've never had a problem with it. Protective lenses are a common size, flat in shape and easy to replace, as well as the auto dim unit itself, if need be.

Good price on this unit;
