All welcome. Continue to blog welder, now let's look at the topic of welding masks, namely the mask chameleon - whether to buy it? What generally is the mask chameleon - by analogy with this interesting beast mask changes the color of the protective glass. When ignited, the electrode glass darkens when welding preryvaetsya- transparent glass again. That is not necessary to mask chameleon each time raised and lowered as a mask with a permanent dark glass.
So whether or not to take his mask chameleon. The boys, of course not take, do not even hesitate. I am ashamed to admit, but the chameleon for all 10 years of my welding work, boil only the last half of the year. And once I had worked before without a chameleon? Seriously, after the old mask with constantly dark glass it has become much more convenient, easier and more efficient to do all the welding work. On welding the forums on this mask some write that this mask more tired eyes than in the mask with a constantly dark glass. Absolutely I disagree - I cook a lot, my eyes do not bother Yes, and safer to work - in the old mask from time to time there have been cases when the mask has not lowered, and the electrode is already lit - welders understand, at this point, and you can catch the bunnies and metal droplet in eye. The chameleon this does not happen.
What more positive notice in the chameleon. Who is even slightly familiar with welding, know that gradually cover glass metal splash, and the visibility is getting worse and worse. And the chameleon stands protective plastic transparent film to which the metal droplets very little sticky, and change the film you need a fairly rare. But all is not well and smoothly. According to the instructions chameleon mask stops automatically darken when the air temperature is below minus 5 degrees, so in winter on the street will have to use a mask with a permanent dark glass, which is a pity.
