I am fleshing out my Christmas wish list and am thinking of adding a Harbor
Freight self dimming welding helmet. The one in question is the Chicago
Electric "brand", P/N 91212. It appears to have a manual adjustment for the
shade, ranging from 9 to 13 and two additional switches. One to choose
between slow vs fast reaction (why would I not always want the fastest
reaction?) Reaction speed is listed at 1/25,000 second. The helmet also
has a high/low sensitivity switch.

YOur thoughts? I am trying to keep this item under $75 but I do not want
to have some one throw their money way if I end up using my old helmet. I
have never tried welding with one of the H Frt helmets but I have used a
midline and a high end Jackson (had the extra side light) self dimming
helmet. Would love to have one of those but that is out of the financial
picture.
