its going for $460 at the home depot near my house. i researched the clarke and it's going to suit my needs. i'll get it with regulator gauges and the bottle and a helmet for $450, shipped. i think it's a good deal and Sears carries parts for it in case it needs replacement parts or they are available online at weldingdepot.com. plus a lot of professional welders recommended it.

 

Get an autodarkening helmet.

 

i thought about that but its so much more money and i cant seem to find **** in my area, which surprises me with all the ship builders around here. i'm sure a lot of welders sell their old **** to their friends though.

 

i dont like those one bit. i like the old fashioned dark ones.

 

I hate having to flip the visor down and not being able to see what the **** you are doing until you strike up an arc.

• THE 07 600RR pegs are located 2-1/2 inches lower and 3 inches wider (Than stock)
• All other omr subcage models are in the stock location except they are rotated on their axis so they don't fold up unless you fold them up, this also puts your foot on the grippy part of the peg during a wheelie.

ok all pm's replied to and im out......

 

i hated that too but i've been doing pretty good at holding'er steady at my part time job. i started off on an auto darkening helmet but after a while, i just didnt like the reaction time. i know it's super fast, like 1:25,000 of a second but still, i just didnt feel comfortable with it. i'd like to try a high quality one though. maybe that'll change my mind, but those ******* are in the hundreds. i also heard that the solar charge is safer cuz the battery operated ones go out without warning.

 

my bottom lip peels constantly, like every 3 days minimum. my top lip never peels at all. weird

 

Just rolled into richmond again. rest for 2 hours then roll out to nyc

 

I dont know much about welders

 

do u use chap stick? if not, then try it.

 

For how much I am going to use a welder I'm not too worried about going arc blind. I can see if you were using it all the time how you might worry about that. Don't the visors default to dark when the batteries go out?

I bite and peel mine all the time. I bite my nails and the skin around them constantly too.

 

i dont know for sure. i wonder about that myself. i just dont want to deal with a damn battery if i can use the sun for free. i heard that even a flashlight or indoor light charges it. not sure how true that is though.

 

im back i forgot i didn't eat yet.....lol

auto helmets suck because the malfunction.......and flash burn on th eye ***** is the worst kind of pain in the world

 

Pretty sure the blinding source of light that the mask blocks can run a solar cell pretty well.

 

I was for a while, when i first cut it up. But that was 2 months ago.

 

yeah just think if you had solar panel walls in a welding shop, it could power a flourescent light or soemthing

 

mike i can't remember the brand but there is a lip balm that comes in a round tin and you apply ot with your finger , go to a pharmacy and ask about it ...

i use to use it when i went skiing, the **** is like chap stick on steroids and it doesn't stay slimey like chap stick

 

started another route and i forgot to bump the mph up by 5. i just know im gonna be 5 miles out later today

 

I dont want to use anything. I never used anything before my accident, and my lip is completely healed on the surface. I dont know why it peels, i think the chapstick has something to do with it
