Re: All About Welding Helmet - Auto Darkening Helmet/Regular Welding Helmet

@jay,
hahaha cant wait to see your Blue Flame ADH 🙂

Sometimes I feel buyer remorse on the Northern Tool ADH. I should have added 1.7K and got one locally. The performance of your ADH is great when I tested it.

over all, made in china hehehe but we are after on the conveniency when welding, no need to flip the helm and you can choose darkness shades from 9 - 13.

Ganda ng ADH nyo, carbon fiber & graphic finished. Nakakainggit.

My Optech ADH, plain black. I got it for only P3,420. Kinapos na kse ng budget.



Sarap magwelding unlike using manual welding mask.

Bryant speaks the truth. After trying out Ossie's ADH I find it hard to weld with my non ADH anymore. The difference is night and day not only in convenience but in weld puddle visibility. If you're thinking of going into welding then might as well include an ADH on the budget.

Go go go ADH.

@bryant77,
its just differ in the outside appearance, same function and same country the helms were made 😀 does your SMBO now know that you have a new toy? hehe

one time, when im doing something in the front house, they thought that im using Motorcyle Helm during welding because of the graphics hehe
