well the time has come to upgrade my old standard fixed lens lincoln welding helmet to something better. Im looking for something auto darkening and adjustable.
Im not very fond of the cheapo harbor freight ones, as i believe their tools suck. As such, i do not want to trust the only set of eyes i have to their brand of inferior products. Im looking to be around the $150 - $200 mark. I've been searching online and reading reviews and im leaning towards the miller performance 64
I am open to suggestions and would like to hear what you welders here are using and why. Im not sure about the narrower viewing window with the auto darkening, and figure it should just take some getting use to. Does anybody have experience with these helmets, or any where the controls are on the inside vs. the outside. I would think the outside could get bumped easy, but i wonder if inside controls could be an issue too. TIA.
