i'd try a speedglas for around the house except for the special cover lens to buy. be sweet if speedglas and jackson balder hoods used standard covers. Dave

chopped pipeliner simple, light, effective.

didnt mean to stomp on your toes, welding cable price varies widely. pays to shop around. hate to see folks get hoodwinked. electronbeam had usa made 2 awg for $1.13/ft . looks like 2/0 in pic. on sale this month for $1.91/ft. Dave

hate to say it, but if that's all the leads you got for $130 then the counter guy is buying steaks off you tonight. Dave

i use the athermal gold lens. Very good IMO. used to get them from Philiips safety but last few I got were junk. can find them on ebay every now and again. They say "athermal" on the lens. about $20. Dave

for 100 bones you are getting a deal, better jump on that!

I weld for a living. I use fibre metal pipeliners. These hoods will last forever. They won't burn up like a plastic hood. Plus that cool skull and bones or flames helmet does nothing for the quality of welds. go where folks weld for a living, pipeliners and tigerhoods are what you will find...

haven't used the milwaukee line, but have 3 drills, 2 impactors and about 10 batteries from bosch 18v litheon lineup. I really like em. 2.0 ah batteries had be had on ebay for about $30-40 bucks. Dave

stick with nitrile with oil, lubes, petro type stuff, latex with melt away.

i like the 18v li-ion Bosch tools....
