Nice hobby car.

I've had it for about 6 weeks now and haven't had any problems with it so far. I did not purchase this plan for everyday use. I bought it primarily for a frame repair project on my Jeep. I didn't want to fiddle with cut-off wheels on a grinder or use an acetylene oxy-torch. It worked flawlessly for the entire project. It's light and compact enough to sit right on top of my welder. Before buying I did a little research and found that the main problem is the ground wire. The torch cord is about 15 feet long and the ground wire is a little over 6 feet long. It was also quite flimsy material. I bought a 20 foot 4 ga marine grade wire to replace a 6 or 8 ga ground wire before I even started using the machine. In all the time I've used it I've never been able to maximize the duty cycle on it. Lotos replacement consumables are slightly more expensive. I bought the set from another source but there are many sellers on Revain who also sell it. The set I have has the center electrode slightly larger than the torch body it goes in, but a few seconds on my belt sander solved that problem. I was a little apprehensive about my purchase but since the project I bought it for has finished I can now only use it once a month if I'm lucky.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Doubt
