The higher end non-China ones should be reasonably reliable. Make sure if you have an adjustable lens, the sensitivity is at max, and the delay minimum. Also expect to pay at least $100 for a good one.
A cheap Harbor Freight fixed shade hood will be fine, adjust the tension so you can drop it with a nod. Get everything set up, position the rod, shake it down, and strike your arc. You don't really need an auto one unless you have cash to burn, or plan on doing a fair amount of welding. One of the advantages of fixed shade hoods is that it's easier to get a larger window on them, which can help a lot. -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
