A portion of Uncle Sam's stimulus check netted me this..

Yeah I really dig the design; its black so it won't look dirty as easily. The big viewable area is what I like most about the techical aspect of it.

It ran me $350, but again, Uncle Sam was to thank!

Damn... I need me one of those auto darkening ones. So nice compared to my standard hood. Love the new design that Miller did too.... they didn't have that one when I was looking at them last year.

Hey, I like my Lincoln Auto dark helmut!

I've had it for 6 years and no complaints.......But I do gas weld with sunglasses


I have been getting alot of use out of mine lately, I just got a BIG (350 amps BIG) Miller TIG and I am spending tons of time with it getting the bugs worked out! 6 Gallon cooler too!
