Our review
Jackson's spec sheet for model 47100 ('6 Feet Under') lists a 3.94 × 2.36 in (9.3 sq in) view, 1/1/1/1, four sensors, 1/25,000 s switching, solar plus CR2032, ANSI Z87.1 and CSA Z94.3, 1.26 lb and a 2-year warranty.
The catch is the filter: it is a fixed shade 10 auto-darkening lens. Some listings describe it as variable; Jackson does not. OSHA's minimum for MIG from 60 to 500 A is shade 10, so it covers mainstream MIG, but not heavier stick or the lightest TIG.
Buyers like the value and function; the mixed comments are about shade 10 being too light for some work and the lack of a grind mode.
