Welding helmet upgrade.
 

I just upgraded from the Pro hobby hood to the Elite Joker. It has 4 sensors where the old one had 2. The head gear is much better than the old one plus this has a grind feature, not that I would use it. I have been using it all day. Its very comfortable and my respirator fits great underneath it.

That's nice and all,

But it doesn't even compare to the little hand held one that came with my fluxcore. Recognize 8)

That is a sweet ass helmet though.

I was looking at them the other day, I got my big window elite last year and it has worked flawlessly. But I wish I had the new version. I have been flashed more than a few times with mine as it does not have an auto on feature. So I have to push a stupid little button everytime I put it on. Or I can play Russian roulette with the shut off timer. (which I have lost more than a few times, ussually when I just spent 5 minutes getting a piece right where I want it with one hand so I can tack it...man that pisses me off).

Yeah Randy. My old one had the button. I was used to it so I always turned it on if it sat for a bit. I found myself going to turn this on all day today. It was habit. This just has a reset button where the power button was on the old one.

Same here. Auto dimming definatly owns, but I forgot about that little button on my helmet a couple of times and got flashed. Such a bitch.
