"airgas man" = snap-on tool man for welding supplies?? Auto darken helmets, opinions?
Ok, I'm taking a metal working class at school and apparently we get a nice educational discount on supplies as students in the class. My teacher said that the "airgas" guy was stopping by and we're allowed to buy whatever we want. He quoted me a top of the line auto-darkening helmet at approx. 100$. I hate my miller helmet 'cause it's old and doesn't stay up when you put it up. I've got the 100$, are the auto-darkenings worth it? I've heard differeing opinions from different people, what are yours?? Thanks

Also, I'm getting good welding gloves. Is there anything else I should consider picking up while I have the opportunity? Thanks again
