Welding helmets
Just curious what you guys have for welding helmets. I've got to get a new one and I don't want to trust my eyes to a china made look-a-like.

I purchased mine used off ebay
JACKSON PROFESSIONAL EQC AUTO DARKENING WELDING HELMET I paid $89 shipped for it and my only extra expenses were eneloop rechargeable batteries plus a couple magnifier lenses ( cheaters ) for the small work I do. I would suggest getting a name brand helmet. I had a Harbor freight ( I won that auction for $27.63 ) but that only worked for a few months. I was not happy with the hf at all . |

I like my speedglas 9000X, an oldie but a goodie.
Never had a problem with it. It wasn't cheap @ $400 something, but I only have one set of eyes. Just wish it had a little more space between it and my nose. |

I currently own 2 auto dark Miller, one of them is an Elite (Lucky' speed shop) and the other one is a Pro-Hobby (American eagle), one old Jackson with a 10 shade and a Weldco with an auto dark retrofit. All have their purpose but I use my Elite most of the time and give the Pro-hobby to the "expert" next to me watching my chicken poop job....

I had a Jackson auto darkening helment for years. It was great. I now have a Miller. Both were basic models... 85 to 100 dollars. I had a cheap HF for a minute. I didn't trust it. Didn't always darken like it should. My advice... get a good one. Don't risk a cheap one! Your eyes are priceless!

This is the Miller helmet that I currently have. I really like it. I've been using it about 3 years.

I use an arc1 vision model helmet, I had a cheaper model arc1 that got me through college and was flawless (still have it, still works great). The vision has a large screen, is adjustable from shade 5-14, has a knob on the outside to adjust the shade "on the fly", has 4 light sensors incase the workpiece is in the way, has a grind setting so it can double as a full face shield, and has different delay settings. For example if you tig weld AL, when you break the arc, the tungsten electrode is still glowing bright enough to damage your eyes. You can set the delay so it holds dark giving the tungsten time to cool and dim. I did not buy it here, but this is a better price at just over $200 bucks.
http://store.weldersource.com/p-3809...df81-1500.aspx If I'm stick or shielded flux core welding I really like my plain old $30 large window Jackson helmet with a gold lens. Everything looks red instead of murky green and it's really easy to distinguish the weld puddle from the flux floating on top. If you have a standard helmet lying around, buy a gold lens for it (about $10), it gives a cool new view to welding. Bill |

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.
