I use an auto darkening, usually turned down to around 9.5. Not from Harbor Freight though. I just can't trust my eyes to HF after all the power tool failures I've had.
I have the same problem. I have a bunch of projects coming up. Before I start, I'm going to drive down to Summit and get one of these. Maybe it will help. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/skg-23240 Micah
I have never seen a lite that attaches to the mig handle. I don't weld that much, but Im sure thinkin abt buying one when I place another. I have problems seeing the puddle also.
just found your thread and really like your handbrake conversion. (as well as your work on cleaning the engine bay!) could you give some more pics or a how to?? thanks
Wow! Great work, man! When I saw the thread title, I figured it was more of a "I spent two hours with a brush and a bottle of Simple Green" thread. Very pleasantly surprised!
