    Welding masks

    Could I please have your recommendations for an auto darkening type welding mask as father has a significant birthday and thought it’d be a good present. He only welds (arc) outside so probably wouldn’t want/use one with the air-box thing anyway. Thanks👍

    Spray on load liner

    Currently getting some quotes to change the pick-up :nailbiting: One of the quotes has come back with spray-on bed liner, rather than a plastic tub. Anyone with experience of this? Is it as good as they claim? How does it compare to the tub insert?
