You never get a euro torch lance, so when its f*cked, its f*cked, the tips are always some stupid thread / cant use normal ones...The duty cycle is always shite, so 2 minutes into a raping bead and the thing catchs fire...the wire feed roller tensioners are always plastic shite / bends out the way and has useless power... the leads / ground clamp are made of tin..there just so cheap, and make for some rough welding / endless frustration from my experience...
If you cant afford new, id look for used Lincoln / Esab / Miller / Kempi etc before settling for new Chinese shite...worth EVERY penny imo.
That's the thing, I can afford new, I just linked them all!
