Expensive, but worth it

The only drawback is that the upper part of the headband depth can be loosened very easily. MIG welding visibility is excellent, even when welding outdoors in daylight. I've worn a $200 Miller helmet for many years and it has better visibility. Worth the cost.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Everything is fine

Excellent visualization. Five stars

Phenomenal welding mask, excellent image quality and face protection. But at $300 at the time of purchase, I'd say it's a little overkill for a beginner. But if you're already making money with your hands then go for it, I promise you won't regret it.

Pros
  • Beautiful thing
Cons
  • Appearance

The best welding helmet!

My wife bought this helmet for me when I was starting a new welding project and was complaining that I couldn't see well enough out of my old hobby helmet to make a good weld.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

Works well, some design flaws

After 3 weeks of use, Overall it's a good helmet. Its functionality is excellent. I have a few complaints about the hat, one being that the baseball cap-like top strap doesn't snap into place. I had to wrap it in tape to keep it on day one. There is a slight tan left on the molded plastic of the straps which, in addition to the exposed pivot point, tends to pull hair out of your head. The ratchet adjustment on the back is very nice. I really wish there was more overhead protection as the…

One of My Best Purchases

Just got it Used my Jackson BH3 with my MIG and AC today and couldn't be happier. This is my first auto-darkening helmet, wish I had had it sooner. All settings; Sensitivity, delay and hue are continuously adjustable. I set both sensitivity and delay just above maximum and used 9 and 10 for the shadow. I don't have any after-effects on my vision so I'm assuming it's "tuned". I was able to see my puddles perfectly without needing extra lights like I've used on my other helmets. Couldn't be…

Pros
  • Design: Jackson Safety BH3 Auto-Dimming (ADF) Lenses offer the best optical clarity, light spread and angular response with a true rating of 1/1/1/1 (DIN EN379 Rating)
Cons
  • Big and Chunky
