Do you mean the hand held mask that came with the Clarke I've got?
That was a bit of a laugh, it is a very weak, rubbishy job. I don't think I've ever used it.
It comes in handy if the missus wants to watch a bit of welding done, though. (After some years, she'd showing mild interest. 'D'you think I could do that?' She asked the other week. 'Yes gal', I said, 'Next time I put an hinge on a gate I'll show you what to do'. There we are, got a new apprentice, and makes good tea, too!)
The auto helmet is quite rigid and strong by comparison, but probably not as strong as the pro's flip lid we used to use years ago in garage work, which seemed to weigh half a ton by the end of the day in hot weather.
