    It triggers the darkening through the welder and the pedal before the arc is generated. Solar helmets only darken once the arc is up, hence your eyes already got hit for a few milliseconds. Being exposed to the arc every now and then for a very short time isn't a huge risk, but welding regularly with a helmet that only responds to the arc with a delay, like all solar helmets, will have an impact on your eyes eventually.

    I don't know about " tool bags,," here, but I definitely can tell a " tool" when I encounter one. This one rates right up there. " Let's go Brandon"

Not counting a small handful, this forum is a mess.
    I hope you have a nice life. Goodbye.
    An optimist is usually wrong, and when the unexpected happens is unprepared. A pessimist is usually right, when wrong, is delighted, and well prepared.

    I collect old pocket watches, Elgin, Waltham, etc. But a Hamilton 992 railroad grade is my holy grail. And the prices are holy ****. I found one in a pawn shop in Butte MT. in 1981 for about $150 and kick my own azz for passing on it.
