Welding Helmets

For the guy that melts things together now and then, they probably figure "good enough". Is there a difference...oh, hell yeah. I'm a Miller guy, but I occasionally put on somebody's Speedglas or Jackson (also top shelf) on a job when I don't wanna walk to my truck. You are paying for more than a name. You have more adjustment on shade, sensitivity, and delay. Also comfort is not even debatable. It may sound like nitpicking, but a good helmet WILL make you a better welder. Learn what the settings do and use them to your advantage. I am multiprocess everyday. Arc, mig, Tig, plasma, CA gouging, ect. Even if all you ever do is mig... it's not one setting does it all. Your amperage can completely change your settings. Most people get intimidated by options, but they are there for a reason. It's really quite simple to learn a high end helmet...and you'll weld better and avoid eye problems too.
