I use a 220 century stick and 110 flux core century for wire welds. Our friend we run with has a big hobart generator/stick welder for his truck he got for derbies this year. I use a flat black hobart hood auto darkening helmet for now...was thinking about getting the bone head helmet...anyone have one?

Just got a Miller 140 with auto set for Christmas. And this to match it. Same shell as the hobart, faster darkening, and a little bigger viewing area. I found the Miller Performance Series for under $200 online.
