same here i have a auto dark one, its simply the best bit of kit i have, i would not even think of welding with a normal one now this i s the one i have www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/cwh5-headshield/path/welding-headshields--gogglesthere are a load of similar priced ones around and from what i can see is their all the same mask just with different branding edit: just noticed the one i got has been discontinued and there are 2 others on sale at machine mart now. the flame painted one looks good but after a few sessions welding under the car its gonna be burnt to hell

Yeah Auto Dark is the way forward, My old man used to use the handheld ones, don't know how he managed, and glove-less, but he was old school

I can't beleive how I managed to weld with one of the hand held masks for all those years. Auto darkening masks are a godsend.
