Review: WeldingCity 100 Amp 10-Foot MIG Welding Gun This is the second tip I have bought for my welding machine. The first, from a different brand but at about the same price, didn't turn on the welding circuit right away, which confused me. This works immediately. The first aftermarket Stinger I bought had a gun/torch that was too big, much bigger than the OEM, and it was uncomfortable. This one feels good in my hand. I can't say anything about durability, but the Stinger looks solid on the outside.
