It's my birthday next week and looking at getting a welding mask to tackle all my rust. Would like a reasonable quality one as ive not really welded before and don't want to knacker my eyes. Was thinking around the 100 quid mark.

Also wot else would make my welding an easier task?

spend £50 - £70 on an auto darkening one and get a hand held cheepo for access to the tight spots, they should see you through a shell resto.

Hi! Can't comment on a specific one, but I'd get one that'S adjustable. I have a non-adjustable one which is often too dark or bright. Also the better ones are not as dark when they'r not darkened. I'd go to a place which has some choice (welding suppliers?) and have a look.

What you got so far? Mole grips, intergrips, Clecos, good gloves - all that.

For grinding down welds I prefere a angle grinder with adjustable speed. Especially for cleaning up the thin metal it's unbeatable... Flap disc & lowest speed minimises the risk of grinding it thin by a good amount!

I would go middle of the road, I have used both a top of the range, and bottom of the range, the dearer one looked better, and once you stopped welding, it returned to normal straight away, whereas the cheapo one was a bit bulky, and took half a second or so going from dark>light after you stopped, the dearer one also needed turning on, which I forgot to do every single time, but both did their job just as well, hence I went for a nice middle of the road jobbie.

Don't bother with the cheap ones, they are cheap for a reason.
