Auto Darkening Weldin' Helmet.

as a joke we would take a guys lens out and put in a pc of cardboard when he was not around,,,,,,

ya gotta see them when they flip and start to weld .....................

my bro has been a welder for 15 years and got a auto helmet about 4 years ago ,which he loves. I on the other hand hate them .I have used them ,but the whole 1/20,000 speed on most of them just says every 20,000 arcs i get a sec of flash burn over the course of the arcs .It sounds like a lot 20,000 arcs ,its not i lost count one day at 300 something .Not to mention the hick ups and malfunctions they have from time to time.

Keep in mind i think fuel injection is of the devil as well ........

Oddest thing....... I picked up the A/D helmet a few days ago to weld the attachment rack for the track loader. And, I'll B if the thing didn't start workin' again........ Narry a glitch during the whole project. go Figure B4 I left it out in the sun for hours to no avail ..... accordin' to the directions if that didn't work it had to be taken back to a dealer for repair. It seems to have fixed itself..............

Thanks Gary, but I've usually found that a good cussing and some wrenching usually brings it around!!!!!! And of course a large influx of $$$.

we had one like that too at the shop and one day bill got mad and the next thing I know is that the oxygen tank is empty ( on a sat afternoon of course) and there is a pickup truck cut into little peices out in the drive . I still dont know who had the last laugh in that one ..
