I like this this one - ESAB Origo™-Tech Auto Darkening Welding Helmet
Not a link but its the name of the one I seen, copied and pasted from a site on my phone,

Where's the best price, weldequip is alright, would like cheaper if possible, obviously

Who's got the best price?

some of the lads at work use those in the workshop. i think we get them for around £50 from EngWeld. Ive got the air fed version which was around £300

I got a SIP one from Halfords of all places, for about £53 quid with a trade card (£59.99 without I think). Got it cause I didn't have time to wait for one to arrive online, but it's been faultless, and if anything ever goes wrong I'll just take it back! It's not a pro mask, but for DIY it's got everything I need.

Make sure it's the higher spec one (check which box is ticked on the packaging) which has rechargeable batteries and better repsonse time.

machine mart

I have just this minute come back from JTF in preston (but there are other branches).

Their have an autodarkening welding helmet similar to mine for a mere £19.95 (all their prices are +vat)

Well cheap!


Just noticed you are quite some distance from them - I don't mind getting you one and posting it if it is going to save you some pennies, Blake.
