My new auto darkening welding helmet for just $50 they usually go for a lot more and i know someone who has one and said it works great. i'm even more glad about it cuz since it's not dark til you weld i can use it as a safety mask from now on too! It was a better investment than i thought. figured i put this up here incase anyone wants to go this rout instead. They are not 100% clear but you can see through when not welding. Should get mine in the mail any day now.
