so, i went to mcmark's shop today to work on my car. mostly prep work for the engine test-fit.
lots of cutting sheetmetal and grinding down spotwelds etc. then on to cutting out the /4 motor mounts with the plasma cutter. i *thought* i had it all covered, safety wise, got the goggles, gloves, noise protection ... spent about 5 hours cutting & grinding. then, on my drive home, it felt like i had a sunburn on my arms, but i couldn't really see anything. so after i got home, i take a shower and now i can clearly see that both of my forearms are *covered* with thousands(!) of tiny burn marks!

I agree I am not a big fan of autodarkening helmets either. If you block the light sensors you will get flashed anyways. Can't stand that. I like my manual helmet, flip it down and there is no flash.
If I am tacking something I use a gloved hand to shield my eyes, just put it between the gun and my eyes. Works great and fast. |
