auto darkening vs regular welding mask?
opinion
Answer:
For me auto darkening was the way to go. After the repeated head nod and injuring my neck I have used an auto darkening hood for 25 years now. I could no longer flip the hood down with out extreme pain. I did not go the cheap route. The cheap hoods don't last and they are unreliable. Hobart, Huntsman, Jackson, Miller, and many others are good hoods. I use Speedglas hoods and will not use any other. They were the first to come out with the auto hood and are the best for tig. I have still got my first hood and it works great! I now have 3 that I use on a regular basis. Why? They came out with the variable shade and different options and I had to have one. The old one is put away but I still pull it out because I like how light it is. They are costly but if they last like my old one ($600 / 25 years = $24 a year and still going). They have a range of hoods from around $120 - $1600. (this site may help)
