Re: My useless opinion on CDM auto-darkening helmet protection.
i also use the HF helmet and i feel fine after a few hours of welding. but thats not continuous. my project takes a few hours, but its probably 5 min of welding. i am working on getting a tig and when i do i will probably switch to a better helmet also. i am hoping to start making some good dough when i get a tig. also, my HF uses solar panels so i dont have to worry about batteries and it has never not darkened.

Uh, there is a reason why I spent 300 on a nice adjustable Jackson AD hood.
My vision sucks as is, and there is no need to make it worse because I wanted to save a few bucks.
Enjoy your eyesight while you have it, but I have a feeling it won't be around long...
