Re: Welding helmet recommendation
@Harry Mine looks a lot like yours . Make me wounder if it was a knock off of your helmet . I find the dial handy as I can use it for anything from act. torch , mig , tig and stick . Brighter the are the darker the shade number . Just don't bump the dial putting it on LOL , Never done that more than a hundred times

Re: Welding helmet recommendation
David I have noticed on one of the Optrel helmets, after flipping it up and down. The dial has a tendency to move a little to make it darker. It's probably just because it's over thirty years old. I don't weld that much anymore so it's not a problem.DavidBarkey wrote: ↑Fri Dec 02, 2022 12:39 pm @Harry Mine looks a lot like yours . Make me wounder if it was a knock off of your helmet .
