looks
fine!!
i would only start with a normal helmet!!
I weld better with a normal helmet then with this masks because my eyes don“tlike the flicker and in that couple of nano seconds my minds goes away
from my weld...
the normal helmets are wearen and with a shake of the head they apear in front of you... its easy and cheaper and looks pro 
Tks

Thats the same one I bought - great value for money and works really well (I am a novice welder)

i bought a very similar one at a car show.
wish i had bought one earlier.
what i have found though, is make sure the area/part you are working is very well lit to start with.

The chap is selling 3 different masks.
Design 1 -
£25.95 +p&p
Design 2 -
£27.95 +p&p
Design 3 -
£36.95 +p&p
Dont really know how you would decide which to get, Is the more expensive one going to be noticely better (DIN 3 light shade as apposed to Din 4) and
a marginally bigger viewing area. What should you be looking for when buying these sort of masks?

IMHO, the most expensive of the three is the one to get. It goes the lightest at its non-darkened state - which is exactly what you need when looking
for exactly the right spot to start your weld. Mine doesn't go that light, and starting the weld can be a pain in the a*se. I have to use LOTS
of direct light on the work to see what I'm doing, and I still miss from time to time. I wish I'd spent the extra, now...

Hi All
I use both an auto and a non auto hat depending what I'm welding.
Auto's do have a downside.
Firstly, if you look through the edge of the lens it's a lighter shade than if you look through the middle.
By that I mean the angle your line of sight meets the lens.
I find this off putting if welding in an awkward position.
Secondly, the light cell that triggers the darkening of the lens can be fooled if something gets in the way.
Reaching through the chassis past a vertical side member for instance.
Lens suddenly goes light. 
I think they should have two. One that can override the other.
Just my 2p
