For $50 or less with coupon for the HF autos, who cares?

ACtually... there is a concern. Some of the cheaper ones turn off
unexpectedly. If you don't use one often enough to recognize that it's
off, and "re-tap" the glass to turn them back on, you could get a shot of
light you don't expect or want.

If the folks kibbitzing aren't experienced with auto-darkening helmets (I
have one... I meant "set to #12 shade" earlier), then I'd suggest that a
fixed lens is better for safety.

The Harbor Freight hoods work just fine. Ive got 2 in the rack and I
may grab one of them, or the $450 Openel. Whichever is closest.

One bleeding-heart type asked me in a recent interview if I did not
agree that "violence begets violence." I told him that it is my
earnest endeavor to see that it does. I would like very much to ensure
- and in some cases I have - that any man who offers violence to his
fellow citizen begets a whole lot more in return than he can enjoy.
