Re: welding helmet Don't buy a cheap one from China, any decent brand will cost you about £50 upwards. http://www.autodarkhelmet.co.uk/overvie ... tufrkbukn3

Re: welding helmet Some more here, from a fellow who's more than a box mover... < http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/shop/helmets.htm > Might get one of the ESAB models myself, as the Nederman I've been using for about 7 years must be near the end of its allotted span. ken

Re: welding helmet sif lite is good too the money goes on the auto darkening unit rather than the shield ok if you aren’t welding all day every day Sean ps it doesnt have a moulded skull or flames decal which may be an added feature worth paying for  welding helmets for the amphetamine addled custom biker

Re: welding helmet Graham, I got one of those Sif Lite ones for Will as a Christmas present one year on the recommendation of Ken think it was around £60 and I presume he can still see, he was quite excited about it when he opened it so guessing it was ok

Re: welding helmet I got one of the SifLites off Ellie for Xmas. I can still see, too, but that might be because I've not used it yet.
