Well now I'm actually scared of getting any more. Thanx for the info.

You don't need that facility with an auto darkening lens!

Prior to which, pro welders preferred a fixed lens helmet because it
kept both hands free. Occassional welders (like me) who hadn't
mastered the art of flicking their head to drop the helmet without
upsetting the coordination of their hand movements mostly preferred
the flip up type.

For those who don't want to spend the extra dollars on an auto
darkening lens... the traditional CIG helmets are still available
either way, or were last time I looked.

Thanx for the info. I know next to nothing about different rods etc. The
mechanic at work had some stainless rods at one stage. They seemed to work
fairly well. The satincraft rods I'm using now, blob up a bit on the
mild-steel job,..I weave the stick to try and get the two halves of the job
to stick. Works, but looks terrible. I grind the ahh excess off. :-)
