I finally gave in and bought an auto darkening hood . H-F on sale. I always thought flipping the window down was no big deal but I had to TIG weld a couple rod couplings to some bolt heads. The auto darkening was so much nicer for the scratch start of the TIG as I knew exactly where I was at before arc. Sometimes you should not fight advanced tools like auto darkening helmets. For TIG they are great. Much lees tungsten contamination -- there was none because I could see my tip.{ remember the late great T-Bone said if you blink you wasted your money anyway. ] Hey I didn't blink. Didn't get flashed either.
