Welding Helmet
So, I ran over my Miller welding helmet today
 and I've been looking everywhere for a new one, but I don't really want to shell out another couple hundred $$$ for another auto darkening one. Does anyone know where I can get one cheaper (preferably another Miller). I know that we have some fabricators on this side of the forum, so I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks

Re: Welding Helmet
I bought a Miller pro-hobby for about 140 auto darkening. if you go to a welding supply shop you could buy a pipeliners hood and add a auto darkening lens in for around 150.
the pipeliner hood is a harder plastic than the pro-hobby. but the pro hobby is lighter hood. I was thinking of getting a harbor freight hood but they dont sell the clear lenses for them you have to buy another hood. also we have the same avatar some kind of way.

Re: Welding Helmet
Have you checked your local craigslist and ebay for good used ones? How about the online welding supply stores such as cyberweld.com? When it comes to welding hoods, I always recommend buying name brand. Your eyesight isn't something I would trust to a pos hood made overseas.

Re: Welding Helmet
When I had to replace my very old Snap-On helmet, I ended up going with a Lincoln Viking series as it was almost identical to my Snap-On one. I got the plan black version as it was a little cheaper but you can get the cool pinstriped one. I happened to noticed watching Extreme 4x4 on Spike, this is the helmet they use (the pinstriped one) so it must be fairly good.
I bought mine here for $109 but it looks like they when up but you should be able to search around for a better price. http://www.weldfabulous.com/Welding-...-p7590840.html
