I Bought one of these Cheap Auto Darkening Helmets just to See if it was any good.
I have been seeing this cheap auto darkening helmet at Northern Tool's website. I talk to people all the time who ask me "what is the best auto darkening helmet for the money?"I can only tell them about the ones I know about. My first auto darkening welding helmet was a Hornell Speedglass. 323 dollars was a lot to spend but 10 years later, it still works great.I also have a huntsman autoview, a hunstman turbo, and a Jackson NexGen. All good. But all of them were expensive.
I decided to buy one of the Northern Cheap auto darkening welding helmets just to see if it was worth a crap.
I couldnt recommend it if was a Piece of Crap. Guess what?Its actually pretty Damn good. The viewing area is pretty good, it is adjustable from 9-13 shade, It has sensitivity and delay settings... All for 50 bones.
The only thing I cant vouch for is how long it will last. I have had this Northern Tool cheap auto darkening welding helmet for about 2 months now. I like it just as well as my huntsman helmets that cost 4 times as much.
