Heavy duty but no quality control in assembly.

I bought this regulator for TIG welding stainless steel with backwash. It came quickly but unfortunately it has to be sent back just as quickly as it wasn't assembled properly. Yes, it's durable and appears to be well made throughout. However, something is definitely wrong here. If you look at my attached photos you will see that while mostly well made all the parts are grossly misaligned. In the last photo you can see the adjustment knob shown from one side; When turned, it wobbles back and forth like a rickety wooden wagon wheel. I mean come on! The company writes "quality" on the packaging, but where's the attention to detail when it comes to assembly? If this part was assembled correctly and the adjustment knob wasn't dangling, then maybe I'd be welding the exhausts now. Instead I have to box this part and send it back for a refund.

Pros
  • βœ” Whether you're new to welding or a seasoned pro, you'll love using the Dual Argon Regulator! Ideal for connecting the same tank to multiple machines or when you want to backwash but don't have a second tank for it.
Cons
  • Not sure
