Pknauth is right, the 'mask' or 'shield' is an important part of the purchase. I am buying an auto-darkening mask.
I was caught up in a routine of : tilt the mask, hammer, dolly, weld, tilt the mask, hammer, dolly, weld, tilt the mask, hammer, dolly, weld and for a moment forgot to tilt the mask back down. Buzzzzzz. Flassssssshhhh. For days my eyes where swollen and my face turned a strange shade. I looked kinda like Jackie Chan, without the moves.
Love my mig, though...
