I have one of their helmets too and it works fine, I use it for both tig and mig and I have never had a problem. Bad lense maybe?

No offence but how much is your eye sight worth to you? Because Ipersonally wouldn't feel comfortable in a 40 dollar piece of plastic made in china, my sight is worth far more then that to me. Remember you get what you paid for.

As for the wire welder, i am sure it would work fine on small stuff but try something with some thickness and i think you will find that it leaves much to be desired.

Remember folks MIG welding is just sending dc current through metal, the place where the circuit connects is the point of most resistance which is wear the heat comes from, it is a very simple process.
