Review on ๐Ÿ”ง YaeTek Mig Gun Holder: Magnetic Base for Convenient Welding Torch Support by Ryan Person

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Too many cost cuts, that's nonsense

It came disassembled in a package in a shipping carton so the beautiful blue paint has chipped and scratched, looks awful straight out of the box so I painted it with a glass rattle to hide the scuffs and scratches. The magnet is held in the steel base only by its magnetic force, so the first time you dropped the MIG torch holder onto the floor, the magnet fell out and broke in half. I glued the halves into the base, it seems to hold up but not very strong so I added a few more magnets to hold it better. This is not why I would need to assemble it, it had to be delivered assembled, this would have prevented any damage in transit. This is typical cheap Chinese junk. Previous reviews didn't have these issues so they decided to lower the cost which is a shame because any issues I had could have been prevented. I recommend you spend more and get an American made one.

Pros
  • Everything's great!
Cons
  • Expensive
