Yeah I've used those too, but I work in a lot of low light situations, and an auto-darkening hood REALLY helps. We have some old school hood at work, I just don't like 'em...

The titanium is pretty damn sweet. I run a Jackson true sight at work.

It's nice but nothing like my first jackson. Had it for about 15yrs and it has never let me down. I have 1,000's of hours on this old hood and wouldn't trade it for anything.

i used to use a hobart hood, but when that one got stolen, along with the welder, i replaced it with a lincoln viking tribal. it was a promotion and got it free with the purchase of a new lincoln 140c welding machine.




cheap at only about 150 bux, but works pretty good. not as many settings as my hobart, but don't have to turn this one on. it works automatically.

I have the lincoln viking 3350, best optics/viewing I have ever seen while welding. Highly recommend.

Maybe you guys can steer me straight on this. I have an auto helmet but I can't see ctappola when the weld starts happening.

Maybe it's designed for TIG welding or something that puts out more power?
