[Shop-talk] Welding helmet

[Jeff Scarbrough]

So, I don't weld that much - 3 or 4 times a year, just cobbling stuff
together, mostly.  I had an auto-darkening helmet from HF that seemed to
work OK, until it didn't any more.  So, time to buy a new one.

I can get something similar on Amazon for $35, a similar Miller helmet for
$90, or a fancy one for $300 to $600.  They all seem to have similar
percentages of reviews.

 I'm cheap, but I only have two eyes.  My other choice is to use the opera
glass that came with my cheap welder, or use a flip-down helmet like I did
when I learned how to weld oh so many years ago.

Any recommendations for the occasional welder?
