If I wasn't such a tight axx. Or didn't have a helmet yet. I'd jump on this one.

Great White North, huh? Group: Members Posts: 916 Joined: 20-August 06 From: Victoria BC Member No.: 6,693 Region Association: Canada |
I have two. One with the welding/grinding switch on the inside and one with the switch on the outside. Guess which is handier?
When you decide I suggest taking this into account. Wish I had thought of it before buying. |

Damn ................. TMI ....... I can feel $300 slipping away.
My Jackson Nexgen has one on the inside. But its too hard to tell when grind is on. Do you have a shot of the switch ? |

As far as an auto dark helmet most of the time the higher the price the faster the speed at which they darken. Also the higher priced ones usually have better optics/clarity.
I use a Jackson flip style everyday & the only time I use an auto dark is when in a confined space where I can't flip my hood. My auto dark is a mid priced adjustable Hobart unit. The clarity is not real good & it's my last choice to use when welding. I have never tried the high end units. |
