lincoln auto dark welding helmets at lowes?

[emeraldcoupe]

lowes has a couple of different Lincoln auto dark hoods from around $100 to $140 or so. are they any better than the cheaper hf or kobalt helmets?

Yes a little better, your not going to notice the difference untill you get into the better helmets.... ie more expensive

Em, I recently purchased a helmet from Lowes.It had all the same features as the Lincoln. It listed for around $129. Anyway it has 4 sensors a large viewing area.I bought it and it is a huge improvement from my HF.On another site I found that lincoln makes these for other venders.Ken

That's one thing I'm extremely sensitive about is welding lens clarity. If it's not crystal clear, I can't stand it.
