Auto Darkening
A look at what is currently available on eBay
auto darkening vs regular welding mask?
opinion
For me auto darkening was the way to go. After the repeated head nod and injuring my neck I have used an auto darkening hood for 25 years now. I could no longer flip the hood down with out extreme pain. I did not go the cheap route. The cheap hoods don't last and they are unreliable. Hobart, Huntsman, Jackson, Miller, and many others are good hoods. I use Speedglas hoods and will not use any other. They were the first to come out with the auto hood and are the best for tig. I have still got my first hood and it works great! I now have 3 that I use on a regular basis. Why? They came out with the variable shade and different options and I had to have one. The old one is put away but I still pull it out because I like how light it is. They are costly but if they last like my old one ($600 / 25 years = $24 a year and still going). They have a range of hoods from around $120 - $1600. (this site may help)
