I love this thing. I'm in the middle of a casting project doing lost wax and metal casting. I probably put this thing on 12 times a day. It's very comfortable, easy to adjust, and the flip down dark section is very handy.I use it when I'm pouring molten wax, metal. Also very handy when using the bench grinder and angle grinder. The dark section is the perfect shade for plasma cutting, when I have the plasma cutter handle partly in front of me. I find my full on welding helmet too dark to see when plasma cutting. The shade is not dark enough to use when tig or mig welding. Might be Ok for oxy/acetylene brazing - have not done any since I bought it.I've seen other reviews that suggest it is flimsy. I have not found that to be the case. Obviously you don't want to toss is around aggressively since that is liable to scratch the visor, but in normal everyday use it has held up fine. I imagine if you were using it for fighting wildfires it might need to be beefier, but I like that it is not too heavy.
