I was wondering what your opinion would be on the Blue Flame Design Auto Darkening Welding Helmet? Having to weld on firearms I need something reliable, but I can not afford any thing in the higher ranges yet. I like the Northern Industrial one you reviewed but am concerned with the non-replaceable/rechargeable battery. Thank you for your assistance.
--------------------------------------------------I am not really sure about the blue flame design helmet or exactly which one that is.
I have had good luck with my cheap one from northern. although it is not recommended for really light amperage tig welding or tig welding with an inverter.
You are probably looking at spending close to 200 dollars to step up to something much better than the northern 50 dollar auto darkening hood.
