Do helmets come under tools....

[engybenjy]

Wasnt quitesure where to post this......anyway,
Been doing a bit of quite low amp stuff lately and I think its not enough amps for my 'lid' to react properly, sometimes it flickers or seem slow to react, ive got it set to high sensitivity/long delay. Can anyone recomend an auto'lid' suitable for MIG as low as 25 amp and as high as 150/170 amp? Dont mind spending a bit of dollar if the products right. The lid ive got now is a SIP (same as me welder), 9-13 shade but doesnt seem to get very light when not in operation, makes it difficult when welding under a car.
TIA, ben

Have a look at this one Engy. Supposed to be good down to 5 amps and at less than £60.00 seems a good buy. For more details, send a PM to DIYWELDING on this forum - that's his website I've linked to.

Oh, and yes, I usually post helmet stuff here and no one has complained yet.

Try increasing the background lighting, something like a floodlight behind you.
