Let me just say I get the Vibes sweat rating with this machine. We had top notch Miller machines at school and they are even better than the ones we had before. It's been 5 years since then and I feel like I'm back at my best. It comes with a trigger-activated flashlight, for those of you saying the pedal doesn't come with it, it's up to the flashlight. Let me just say that a flashlight is better than using a foot pedal. The amp control is so precise and so good that you don't actually need pedal control. I would 100% recommend this to anyone looking for an AC/DC welding machine for aluminum alloys. The smoothness of the arc and the trigger controlled torch are truly unparalleled. The quality cannot be compared to a volcano or titanium. It's almost like driving with or without power steering. This car won't let you down.
