I picked this up from a local discount tool store for $44.99. Brand is "Grip" and yeah it's auto darkening. It's flimsy, but works. On the inside it has a darkness adjustment and ON/Off button. I dont want to go back to a regular manual one after this.

 

i got a auto darkening one it dosent go back to normal fast enuff for me wich really pisses me off sometimes

 

This one has a 1 sec pause to go back to clear to . But it's hella easyer to start with out having to flip the helmet down.

 

what you been doing with your car latly. last i heard didnt you blow the clutch towing some one ??

 

lead based paint, china is trying ti kill us!

 

I bought the HF auto Darkening helmet 100x's better the the flip down style. I took the flames of and stuck a steathmode sticker on it

 

There are also numerous articles on these chinese helmets not actually meeting the advertised darkening time. I had one of those, then I thought about wanting to be able to see in a few years. I bought a Miller Elite. You can't put a cost on your eyes.

With that said if you weld occassionally then I'm sure it would be fine.

 

yeah i got the same one, pulled the flames off and put a big *** crower sticker on it.

if i welded often though i would have gotten a better helmet.

 

I just weld as a hobby, not very often. It seems like it darkens instanatly, but I supose there could be a nano second delay that I'm not seeing.



I have a spec 4 puck and it's never really worked right from the start. You might be thinking of one of the other Escort guy's, Marclar blew a clutch towing some pick up truck. I'm just doing what ever it takes to make the car faster, just like any one else addicted to this damn boost.

 

oh yea the truck full of fire wood or something like that
