Yeah, I saw Kobalt welding helmets reduced a lot in a Lowe's near me, like one for $18.49 (from $42.98) [lowes.com], YMMV of course.

Possibly other welding helmets too, depending on store [lowes.com].

I am newbie to welding, but like to learn a thing or two. I want to pick up a decent helmet. Can someone recommend one below or something better?

Sorry for being dense but what does YMMV mean?

First one is fixed shade. 2nd is auto dark. Personally I'd spend money and get auto dark but with more adjustable shades. I doubt you'll ever use the darker shades, but it may come in handy in certain environments.

The better quality helmets have more than 2 sensors. This helps when outside in the daylight and welding around obstacles.

You'll go through a ton of cover lenses, find a helmet with easy to find/cheap lenses. This goes for outside and inside lenses.

I welded professionally for 8 years. Glad to help with questions.
