I paid about $100.00 for mine at Harbor Freight about a year ago. Check
below - it's still the same price.

In my case, just before I flip the welding mask down to start welding, I
push my glasses way down to the tip of my nose. I see better close up
looking over the tops without my bi-focals. I also wear leather work
gloves. With welding new sheetmetal to old, the old metal will spit a bit
and if the hot metal drips, you want to be careful.
I clamp everything as best as I can before welding, so I have both hands
free. The welding pistol is in my right hand, but even with the self
darkening feature, I still hold a 10" long fluorescent work light in my left
hand.
