Depends on where I'm at... At work I use a Miller Elite series auto darken, at home I use an oldschool Lincoln with a shade 10? I can't remember what is in it now, haven't used it in awhile.

I just went to Homedepot looking for a welding helmet today and they only had some cheap *** looking overpriced auto dimming helmet for 100$. Ima go to Harborfreight and get me some cheap shitz //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

how is that?

kinda off topic but what type of welders do you guys use?

i got some 2 foot tall standing welder that will do up to 225 amps AC.

I believe its an arc welder. Sorry im new to welding but always been interested.
