Lucky Bugger! I'm looking at getting a Speedglas 9100xxi FX with the Adflo and my mate is looking at the 9002NC. Hows your helmet feeling so far?Graveyard wrote:After 8 years with the same welding hood I decided to upgrade from my Speedglas 9100X to an 9100XXi. I also took some advice from the forum here and picked up a nice SSC 22-25K tig pedal for the Everlast 160 STH I just got. Unboxed everything and played with it a little last night and I am super pumped about the speedglas. The shade 5 side lenses seem to help a lot with eye fatigue and the tig pedal is super smooth. The everlast machine is just a backup/teaching machine I got for a good deal used. My main machine is the miller Syncrowave 210, if my pedal for it ever goes out in definitely gonna pick up another SSC for it as well.
I just found out that you also get a 3-year revolving warranty with Speedglas hoods and an extra year if you register it on their Aussie website https://www.awsi.com.au/product-register, which seems like a valuable extra.
