Weekend Mechanic's Welding Helmet recommendation July 14, 2010
B. Nelson (Washington, DC)

It has the most important features I wanted: meets the current ANSI spec, 1/12,000 sec speed and replacable AAA batteries. No graphics, just plain black, keeps the price down. It seems like a best value in a mid-range helmet. After a lot of searching on the internet, it seemed like a safe product for my purposes. I did want one that I could use for TIG welding but apparently these mid-range products aren't recommended for low-power TIG. However, I don't have a TIG machine yet and may not get one for several years, if ever.
After searching on the internet, it appears that some of the slower speed helmets can result in eye strain after a long session evidenced by a "gravely" feeling in the eyes. I used mine for several hours stitching up a 3 foot butt joint with tack welds; no indication of eye strain whatsoever. I still have 7 more feet to go. Couldn't face that many tack welds flipping a shade up and down. Those guys are right who say once you use an auto-darken helmet, you'll never go back. I'm completely satisfied with the purchase.Hobart 770424 XVS Series Welding Helmet Black
