While this tool has some potential, it fell short in meeting my needs. Through trial and error I found that it did not hold up well during extended use and left me frustrated with the results. The one positive was its initial ease of use. Overall, I would not recommend this product in the Industrial and Scientific category of Industrial Power & Hand Tools. .
Pros
The 3M 94280 Case has a standard welding capacity, making it suitable for a wide range of welding tasks.
Cons
The welding capacity of the 3M 94280 Case is not suitable for heavy-duty welding jobs, which may require a more powerful welding case.
This so-called "standard" welding capacity was anything but. THANKS to my knowledge gained in practice I found that it could barely handle the most basic of industrial jobs.It may be marketed as an Industrial and Scientific product, but it fell far short of expectations. The only pro I can find is that it's relatively cheap, but you get what you pay for. In the end, its simply not worth the investment..
Pros
Large welding capacity, up to 3,000 lbs.
Cons
Limited mobility due to its size and weight, making it difficult to move and store.
Exactly as shown in the photos, no more. Keep in mind that if you want to extend the PAPR, you'll also need to buy the M-146SG for another $50-70 to actually attach it to the PAPR.
Pros
Welding shield kit compatible with existing M Series headgear only
