I am curious to know what a pro welding helmet favorite is. Be it the
brand name, warranty, durability etc.
All likes and dislikes. I am searching for a pro recommendation.
I recently purchased from ebay an auto dimming helmet. very nice for the
money. did what it says it would.
I did not find a brand name however, and ebay stores are like toilet paper.
what is a brand that will have a warranty and parts etc that is reputable in
a business that isn't going to end all of a sudden?
thanks for reply. The type of welding I am doing is mig.

I'm a Hornell Speedglas fan. I don't believe in skimping on a welding helmet.
I bought my Speedglas XL back in '98 and it's still going strong. They don't
make that model anymore (more's the pity) but Speedglas appears to me to be
a very stable and reliable company.

Please log in for more thread options Very very high price, but thanks for tip.
The no brand I got has a full rheostat from 9-13 on shade level, and I could
buy 4 complete auto dimming helmets for the cost of thier one.

You get what you pay for. How much are your eyes worth?

What type of ocular damage are you saying is caused by the fifty dollar
