I have an Auto-Arc made by Hobart. It has adjustable darkness, adjustable delay and a switch for grinding or welding. It wasn't overly expensive but suits it's purpose.

Dang, bifocals for the welding helment
Seriously, that is NOT a bad idea--for those of us with enough birthdays to now own a pair of "shop" glasses--I just couldn't stand the thought of bifocals and turning wrenches.

I have a Jackson Nemesis and a Hobart. Both autodarkening. Mostly use the Nemesis now, way better sight. Grind mode is OK, too.

I have a 2.5 cheater I put in my Jackson auto darkening helmet when I weld a motorcycle tool I make. I weld a 1/4" pin on the end of a threaded 10mm bolt. One stray TIG arc makes for extra work to fix the threads.

I have a Forney auto darkening. Range settings are 9-13. This was a gift. Prolly came from TSC. I used it a few times. It was a wonderful weldimg experience compared to regular old fashioned lens. It also worked great during the solar eclipse last year.

I picked up this Hazard Freight special last year for around $120. It really works nice and is probably made in the same China factory that 80% of all the other helmets are made in. It looks nice with my Chinese built Esab.

I use special puller bolts at work that look just like those Jeff but much bigger . Mine are 3/4 x 10 with the long shank past the threads (all one piece) that I use to pull a drive unit mount plate/bearing cup with.

What do you use yours for? Looks pretty small and precise.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
