My "Miller" auto-darkening helmet has taken a dump on me. The lense doesn't darken consistently across the glass, and it flashes me while I'm welding. I've had it replaced once under warranty, but the new assembly is worse than the first one...I give up. I need a REAL helmet, and I consider it an investment in my eye health, so cost isn't the deciding factor here.
I've searched up the Hornell Speedglas and the Jackson - Miller, but don't know much about either...someone point my wallet in the right direction for me. I want a GOOD helmet, GOOD headband assembly, one that will work with MIG, TIG and stick, a helmet I won't ever have to replace again!
This kinda goes along with the adage that good tools are expensive, but shitty tools are even more expensive. Thanks!
