What it welds
The YESWELDER BW-11MAXC Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet is an auto-darkening.
OSHA's minimum shade depends on process and current, for example 10 for MIG above 60 amps and 8 for most home TIG; the dark range has to reach yours. OSHA's table.
Per the maker: viewing area 4.56"x3.19"; switching 1/30000s; optical class 1/1/1/1; power: Battery Powered. What each spec means.
Test the lens before every use; a lens that fails to darken exposes your eyes to the arc. Wear safety glasses with side shields under the helmet where chips can fly, as OSHA's fact sheet advises.
Also on the listing: a weight of 2.4 lb.
Warranty, per the listing: 1 YEAR WARRANTY.
