Better than I imagined
Best single move I have made to date towards improving my welding ability. With the old helmet I was almost convinced that welders has vision like superman's in order to see and control the puddle that way they described. I could barely see the puddle let alone get it to do what I wanted it to. Now, with the Optrel helmet, I too have superman's vision. Incredible. Excellent. Improved my TIG welding from the moment I put it on.
While you can weld with a cheap helmet (a lot of people will probably be able to do it better than I can) I am now convinced that a high quality helmet would improve anyone's welding. Whether its an Optrel or some other brand I would recommend anyone with a serious interest in improving their welding abilities to invest in a top-of-the-line helmet.
