Get the next one up from the base one. It's way better. I honestly couldn't see what I was doing, even on the lowest setting.

Are your eyes worth $40?

Get the best helmet you can afford. I got this one after a couple of HF models. Good midrange helmet.

Tried finding some reviews on that hood, didn't see any right off the top...but it seems like it is a bit better than HF stuff....here's a link to their site:
http://metalmangear.com/Welding%20Helmets/

I went with the Jackson, because it's a well known brand, that has good support and readily available replacement parts.

Bam. Perfect 90 dollar helmet.

You'd probably be better off going to a local welding store like Airgas and buying one there.

I am a Forman for an industrial contractor who hires Sheet Metal workers, Millwrights and Pipefitters. I will estimate in the 16 years I've been in the trades I have worked with or around several thousand men across the building trades, having been on some very large scale construction projects.

In all that time, amongst all those different people, do you know how many auto darken hoods I've seen on the job?

Less than 10, and the 10 guys that had them couldn't weld worth a lick. Most of the Pro's don't use them. And I don't want to hear about the "welders" you see on reality tv.

Buy a good quality standard welding hood and be done with it.
