hi, im thinking of upgrading to an auto darkening helmet, can you see clearly through them when you arent welding? also which 1 should i buy (i have about 50 quid) thanks
They are a bit like sun glasses shade in the clear state & darken instantly as soon as you strike an arc, faster than the eye can sense light... make the job sooo much easier.

They definitely make the job easier, no more 'negative-panda' eyes while squinting and tacking ! Stretch your budget to £58 and weldequip's yer man with a mighty fine Parweld one. (but I expect you already know that now ) Very highly recommended, see this other thread http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=1518
Think of it in terms of pints on a night out, 3 pints less consumed = your extra £8!
Have I missed something here???
Could have sworn I saw a post from DIY Welding in this thread regarding items on sale cheaper than anyone else.
Was going to mention it myself awhile back after viewing his website: but I thought I'd leave him to promote his own gear......or have I left the gas bottle leaking again!!
Spot - I deleted a post earlier in this thread which may have made Wozzaaah's post look slightly out of place. I have gone on to ruin this thread with further editing. I'm a real sod.
