Thread: Advice from welders please

Had a wall full of dead auto helmets from the last 15 years or so, my go to used to be the 100-150 dollar auto helmet from trade suppleyers....most of em had the same shit with different stickers very similar/same to your trade me add but the difference is I could walk accross the road litterally and throw it at the salesman and demand a new one when it shit itself and shit itself they did! a year was very good going for one and that was a 3rd helmet I kept only for shiny tig work so not being abused.
Good gear has come down in price tho, still have a 1800 dollar helmet I almost never use(miller) and have gone from the budget end of the trade range to the middle range miller at around 500 for the bulk of my work as it still gets thrashed.
Still have and will always have a manual helmet and yes set to drop at the slightest nod but she dont get much use these days!
