When i tried this product, I was impressed by its efficiency and accuracy .It works well with different types of welding torches and provides stable gas pressure regardless of usage frequency. It is highly durable making it a great investment for anyone involved in industrial and scientific work. One downside is that it might require a bit of time to get used to before achieving optimal settings. Overall, this is an excellent regulator that meets all my expectations and needs..
Pros
Accurate and stable gas pressure control for acetylene welding
Cons
Requires a separate oxygen regulator for oxyacetylene welding
This regulator is a major letdown. Industrial and Scientific professionals will find it cheaply made and difficult to use .The only pro is its low price, but that comes at the expense of reliability and durability. The cons are many: LEAKS, inconsistent readings, and a poor fit. Do yourself a favor and invest in a better quality regulator..
Pros
Great for medium-duty welding or cutting jobs.
Cons
May not meet the needs of professional welders with high demands.
I was shocked when it showed up in scrap bubble wrap instead of a box. The regulator wasn't clogged with any gasket either. It was thrown in an envelope only to lose! I sent it back as it was obviously damaged. The threads on the hose coupling were dented/dented and one of the pressure gauges was also slightly bent. Extremely annoyed and annoyed :(
