I had problems with my last welding project due to poor torch condition on my Lincoln welder. This new flashlight arrived a few days ago and I had a chance to use it this weekend. I almost forgot how easy it is to get good results with my welder! I should have replaced my old flashlight much sooner. The bottom line is this is a quality direct replacement for my Lincoln welder and works exactly as it should. The quality seems to be very good. And it works with 0.035 inch wire while Lincoln OEM cutter can only work with 0.030 inch wire. I needed thicker wire for my current project so I loaded a new spool and everything worked perfectly.
