Welding Helmets

Yes you get what you pay for to a point. I have not found much advantage at all with the pricey ones but the low budgets probably work for a hobby welder. I have found the 200-300 dollar ones are just about right if you wear one for a living. I am not uber brand loyal but the mid range Millers seem to be robust and function reliably. I do not treat mine kindly. To me it is just another tool. Kinda like what's under it!
