Auto darkening welding helmets are NEATO
 

My buddy Rick bought one for me for my bday. He told me he was goin to harbor freight and wanted to know if I needed anything while I was there. I mentioned they had auto darkening welding helmets on sale for $50. And being the nice guy he is got it for me. Awww. I havent 'used' it yet, but experimented with the kitchen light and its pretty damn cool. Sure beats the ---- out of holding that gay mask over my face. Can't wait to try the sucker out. Too bad I suck horribly at welding, but im slowly getting slightly less shitty.

i was using one of those last week welding up all my piping, later i put on a dark one and i hated it. I need to get me one of those.

Re: Auto darkening welding helmets are NEATO
 

i don't wear anything i like to watch myself run a nice bead

j/k those helmets are pretty sick! i bet someone got rich of that idea

Re: Auto darkening welding helmets are NEATO
 

i used an auot darkrning for awhile, it hurt my eyes, the delay is ever so slight but after a long day of welding it will flash oyu, i have since gone back to my standard glass helmet

Re: Auto darkening welding helmets are NEATO
 

never bothered me hotsex. The auto darkening really helps you work faster and easier... worth every penny

Re: Auto darkening welding helmets are NEATO
 

eh for me, it dont matter, once your used to a reg mask, you go plenty fast.

dont know what it was, but my auto darkening helmet was not cheap... and it was nice, but it hurt my eyes.

Re: Auto darkening welding helmets are NEATO
 

if it wasnt cheap you can adjust the delay time that it darkens. i have a cheapo auto darkining...thinking of getting a good one cause its beat.

Re: Auto darkening welding helmets are NEATO
 

mines a miller, it is adjustable. but it still hurts, and yes i know how to adjust it, my peepers are just sensitive i guess.

Re: Auto darkening welding helmets are NEATO
 

Why don't you sell it ?

Re: Auto darkening welding helmets are NEATO
 

Its all in your head. Even all the professionals that weld all day use autodarkening masks. I love mine

Re: Auto darkening welding helmets are NEATO
 

mny eyes are in my head fool... ill stick with my reg mask...

Re: Auto darkening welding helmets are NEATO
 

AAww hotrex just has sensitive eyes lol

your eyes are going to itch a little if you weld all day anyway ;)

Re: Auto darkening welding helmets are NEATO
 

50 bucks from HF eh? Maybe I'll have to invest in one of those.


Oh and have your buddy buy me one too. I'm the ethopian cambodian here. :'(

Re: Auto darkening welding helmets are NEATO
 

a guy i work with was welding with a normal mask so after he flips it up to check his weld he loses balance and face hits the car right where he just welded it was the sickest thing i ever saw there was a little skin on the car needless to say when he returned to work he had an autodarkening helmet ive used them alot and they rock

Re: Auto darkening welding helmets are NEATO
 

Damn, that must have sucked. Could you use punctuation next time? It's really hard to read.

Re: Auto darkening welding helmets are NEATO
 

I got the same 50 dollar HF helmet and an 80 dollar Flux-core welder from HF... Good deal. I love em both.

Re: Auto darkening welding helmets are NEATO
 

$50 sounds like a great deal..unfortunately this is what i have to use in the mean time:

HM welding mask w/Kemps ice cream bucket

it does the job.

Re: Auto darkening welding helmets are NEATO
 

^^ ahahahha damn now thats HMT style!! I love my HF autodarkening helmet and match welder. Now if HF just offered small tanks for it at the store that would rock. I just have to use the cans of Lincoln anti-splatter spray ---- and it cuts down on the splatter.

Re: Auto darkening welding helmets are NEATO
 

HAHAHAHAHAHA. I literally laughted out loud.

Re: Auto darkening welding helmets are NEATO
 

Greatist welding helmet ever!

Re: Auto darkening welding helmets are NEATO
 

got my auto darkening helmet off ebay for $55 shipped and it works great. i can't believe you used the word "neato".

Re: Auto darkening welding helmets are NEATO
 

It was either that or 'fabulous'. Now...see why I went with 'neato'.

Re: Auto darkening welding helmets are NEATO
 

i got the one from HF too
i couldn't weld the first day but i played with the helmet in the bathroom for a minute or two :P
i cant imagine trying to hold the mask in front of you while welding in the other

Re: Auto darkening welding helmets are NEATO
 

we've all done that. nothing to be ashamed of :-*
