This is a YouTube video that compares two different types of welding hoods.
The first hood he talks about is a old school regular welding hood. It has no bells or whistles. Just simply put it on and start welding.
The second hood he talks about is a auto-darkening hood. It has adjustable shades and special settings for different types of welding such as tig, mig, flux core and stick.
In the video he definitely favors the automatic-darkening.
Conclusion: I have used the auto-darkening welding hood only a few times over the years. The times i did use the automatic lens it gave a very bad strobe light effect when putting a root with 6010 rod on pipe. It was a real annoyance. Unless they have changed this on the newer models i think i will stick to my old school pipe liner.
