Hey, you welding gurus, is this a good helmet?

Ok stop.

A good helmet will make you a better welder right now.

When do you need a good welding hood. The instant you start welding. Yeah we all grew up using cave man hoods, would I use one now? No.

Harbor freight has a decent flash hood for around 100 bucks.

I've used it, my buddy has one. It's not bad for a cheep hood.
