I have the same problem, looked online and it seems easier to buy a new helmet, I repaired mine using a piece of wire to fix it in place and covered it with electrical tape, it will do the job for now until I decide on which helmet to upgrade to.
Thanks everyone for the replies. I had a look for the lidl one but they don't appear to have it online at the minute so I don't know if they'll have any in store. I'll have a proper look at the SIF and Lincoln.
I'm after advice for better quality brands of flux core wire.
I use a mig welder at work but bought myself a gasless one for use at home as it's only being used outside. So far I've only used the wire that came with the welder but looking for better quality and it's not something I know much about?
I'm looking for a fairly cheap auto darkening helmet and from what I can see online the Leopard ones get good reviews. Has anybody on here used one? Are they worth it or would I be better just getting the ones from aldi/lidl?
Thanks for the reply, I already have a stick welder but was more looking for a mig for practice at home knowing that gasless doesn't have as good results.
Money is a major factor in the choice at the minute so will keep a lookout for a good 2nd hand one
I'm looking for advice for a mig welder. It will mainly be used in my back garden to help with my blacksmithing. I've recently started a welding and fabricating course so I know the basics and know gasless isn't as good but it's probably my best option.
I can get a Dirty Pro Tools 130a for about...
