I just retired from selling welding equipment after 30 years and we sold the Blue Demon wire was a very good wire it's made by Esab. I also agree that the Speedglass helmet is a great helmet I've had mine for 20 years but I don't use it on a daily basis. Using gas CO2 or 75/25 is the only way to go especially on thinner material and cuts down on smoke and splatter
