The auto-darkening helmet is so nice for guys like me who don't weld much anymore. I've lost the knack of knowing where to start the arc after I flop the helmet down with a regular helmet.
But I have a bit of a warning about cheap auto-darkening helmets. I had one of those cheapie auto darkening helmets for several years and it performed flawlessly for stick welding. There was no battery, it used the solar power from the arc instead, it was light weight, and ready to go at any time. When I got the wire welder I was getting sore eyes so I had to put my beloved cheapie on the shelf. I don't think it darkened quite quick enough when the arc started with the wire welder. Maybe the flux on the rod shielded the arc for just enough time for the lense to react when I stick welded? Anyway, be careful with the cheap helmet if you are wire welding because it might not end up being a bargain in the end. Jim
