Don't waste your eye's or your money on the helmets at Harbor or anywhere for that matter unless they are name brand.
I have 3 auto helmets, a Speedglass, an Optrel, and a Miller Elite.
The Speedglass is ok for light duty work, does not work well outside in bright sun light, constantly flickers dark to light no matter what setting it is on and has a very small viewing area. NOT rated for Tig. Very uncomfortable hood.
The Optrel is good inside and outside for light or heavy welding, large viewing area, but it is NOT rated for Tig use. Very comfortable hood.
The Miller Elite, is the best one I have used, large viewing area, works inside or outside, Infinite adjust-ability for delay, grind mode, shade and sensitivity. Tig rated. Very comfortable and adjustable hood.
Since most of my welding is Tig, I use the Miller the most.
