It took me forever to get this review done, but it's here. And Im really stoked to share with everyone what my impressions of the Everlast Welders 210 Ext Tig Welder. I go over the BASIC functions of the machine, (I don't get into the Advanced Pulse settings or the different Square Wave settings,) basic setup, and all the things that come with this bad mama to get you ripping with this Tig Welder. But needless to say, I hope you all enjoy it a ton, and go check out their online stuff.

One little tip.....open up the ozone valve all the way as there are two seals in the valve and opening up just one turn allows gas leakage around the handle and valve. Open it up all the way and the two seals then can do their job and seal the valve completely. I was told this by a gas pressurized tank manufacturing rep.
Enjoyed your review on the welder. I have a Lincoln square wave 200 and I’m pretty happy with that . Started tig welding about 7 months ago. I’ve just been learning on my own,watching lots of videos. Thanks again for all you do to help people.
Absolutely Larry! Glad I can help in any way!
I have a 221 sti multi process everlast. I have had it for 1.5yrs. Great machine this far in. I would buy it again.
Awesome. Good to hear. Worth the bucks for sure!
My wife just got me the Everlasting 185 as a gift. Cant wait to use it! I’ve been watching all your videos to gain knowledge on how to Tig. Appreciate the time you take to make them.
Just got my 210EXT a month ago. I love it! It’s my first machine. I’m just starting out on this new welding adventure, here in the States. Mine has a black Argon hose and totally different (very strong) clamps, so maybe they’ve fixed the problem. I have been waiting for this review, so REALLY enjoyed it. I know how much work videos are, I have made them for more than 30 years as a television anchor/reporter/creator. Since you’re doing a fantastic job teaching me welding, I’d be honored to help you with the finer points of video production, if I only knew how to reach you privately.🙂. But in the meantime, your videos are awesome. Nobody knows how much work it takes to make them, unless they’ve done it themselves! I also believe in those random acts of kindness! You’re a good man!
Hey! Hit me up on Instagram thru direct message! I’d love to hear your thoughts! Cheers!
Thanks for all of that. Lots of the USA welders seem to recommend the Everlast machines so I was a bit miffed that they aren’t sold here. Then I found R-tec Welding sold the same machines but with a different paint job. Happy with mine (the 170 Amp version). Cheers! Les in UK
Finally lol thanks for doing this one brother! U can still go water cooled for Canaweld OR Everlast, if u EVER feel u need. Just takes buying the brass fitting(quick connects) and dinz connector for torch ($15 ebay)....works just fine. (Ck version is $75)
awesome dude. Good tips. And yeah took me long enough for this one hey...?
Interesting, I bought my 210EXT in early-2015 (a sticker showed it was manufactured in late-2014), and the four-fan style makes my unit virtually whisper-quiet. I mean, there was probably a manufacturing update to make the fans run faster lately. I think the latest 210EXT also use gapped-points for the HF arc starting, but my older unit has a HF daughterboard that has no arc-gapped points. So, I'm still digging my 210EXT even now that the 5-year warrantee is expired, and I probably wouldn't want any other unit if I was in the TIG welding marketplace. I mean, the 210EXT is an advanced-featured units, with its added waveforms (love Triangle wave for thinner aluminum), and that wild AC/DC Mix-TIG Advanced Pulse (it's non-reductive, unlike typical pulse, if set at 100% on the DC half) makes for an extra-potent use of amperage on aluminum. Everlast service and support over the years has been great, too.
Awesome! I’m looking forward to learning more with triangle wave!
I love mine. I've hade it for over a year welding pontoon boats. Awesome machine!
Great review here! Really liking the channel, I've learned a lot. I recently got a 255 ext and it came with a completely different type of regulator and hose without those crimp clamps. I did have a problem with the regulator leaking so I gave Everlast a ring. They sent me a new regulator no questions asked and it showed up the next day! I've been happy with the machine and service so far.
Yep the EXT is badass! The regulator was missin female brass piece so I cant use it. But machine has worked FANTASTIC for a year. I want the 325ext tho! For thick aluminum . Best value for amps I think. Fronius 230i and miller dynasty 280 are $4500-$5500....double the everlast lol
Never recieved hose from guy I bought it from either. Kinda glad. My hose is good one
Amazing to hear. That’s great they took care of you so fast!
Really appreciated your review. Your honesty helps make a well informed decision
Just picked this unit up, loving it so far! They must have fixed the fan timing over the years because mine stays off while idling and fires up with the arc.
My dad got the 200 a while back and the hose popped off as well, not the greatest accessories but again this was like 7 years ago. Great welder though, like he said, used it for a couple different jobs TIG and stick. Great arc and arc stability! Good info! Nice weld!
Just bought my 210 EXT cant wait to start using it.
Me too! But mine is back ordered 😔
Al do yeah mine was on backorder for about 2 weeks. It will come don’t worry!
Awesome. So exciting!
It’s worth the wait for sure. You’ll have fun laying down some fill💪
Good job. Thanks. I will check my argon hose for sure on my 210.
In the UK, I have an identical machine with a blu case and another name on it. It is an excellent bit of kit and I am very happy with it.
Just bought one online. It'll be here in a few days. Great review and information. Instant LIKE and SUBSCRIBE! Greetings from Alaska.
Top review dusty 👌, I'd be interested to learn more about square wave and triangle wave 😁👍
Then it is so! Time to begin playing with it...!
Nice one mate 😁🤝👊
Much appreciated brother🙏
The big wow is being able to change the frequency.
I just bought my first REAL TIG this year, it's from Everlast also & I'm pleasantly surprised! I was about to get the PowerTig 255EXT but they were sold out for 2 months ahead, so I got the Lightnihg MTS275. Its basically a full TIG with the same features as the 255EXT (less Hz on the pulse tho) however it has a whole legit MIG side as well. It's a dope machine tho, little more expensive than the 255ext and heavier 😂
And I feel you on the fan noise bro haha.
RE: Hose Clamp....
I saw the hose blow off on another Everlast review on a different channel ( I'll try and find the link), so your recommendation of a set screw hose clamp is spot on !
Thanks for the review, James
I really enjoy your videos and this review. FYI i purchased this machine through your affiliate link. i hope you see it. take care and i may be signing up for your online class. Cheers
Thanks for your good insight on this machine! 😎🔥🍺
Hey Dusty, just watched your demo videos on both the Canaweld and Everlast TIG/ Stick welders again, trying to decide on value for dollars, as both appear to be equal in performance and capabilities. By adding a foot pedal to the Canaweld and a few necessary accessories, they become closer in cost. You can elaborate this more if your opinion differs.
That being said, no one ever mentioned where the Everlast is manufactured and it’s obvious where the Canaweld for the most part is put together.
Can you answer that question for me please, as that might be my single decision making input, as to which one I order.
Thanks for the informative down to earth videos that any beginner welder will appreciate to get started. Great Job ! ! !
Hi Dusty,
Another great video and am sharing it with friends. I have the same machine but luckily it came with a much better hose and screw on connectors. Love this machine. All the features of the Miller Dynasty 200 I used in welding class and at a third of the price.
Cheers, Andy
Awesome Andy! And thank you for sharing! Always appreciate hearing from you! 🍻
@@PacificArcTigWelding is this similar to the rtec 210
Had the same problem. Same time frame I bought mine 2018. Put regular pipe clamps on and everything was good to go.
Love your videos man! I’m trying to decide which next machine to get, had a thermal arc 186 inverter which worked great for like 10 years, until recently i turned it on. The lights flickered and then shut off and now won’t do anything 😢, Now dreaming of a miller dynasty but likely getting a Everlast or maybe just a canaweld 🙏
I own the 255EXT. absolute beast of a machine. And no I am not paid by Everlast in any way. I do need to get water cooler though.
A water cooler would be badass for sure. 255 would crush! You can weld anything I bet!
Pacific Arc Tig Welding I was torn between the 210 and 255. The 255 had a couple more features so I said screw it. I have at least 200 hours on it without any trouble. But when welding non stop torch gets a bit hot. Lincoln I have at work has a cooler and I could weld all day no problem. So I think it’s finally time for one
Stepping up to the big guns! Nice!
I'm trying to decide whether to go with the Everlast, or the Canaweld AC DC 201....
Having used both, which would you recommend??
Cool 😎 Shirt and Good review/opinion of the everlast machine
@Pacific Arc Tig Welding Good work as usual Dusty!
Nice Video you just got a sub ! So i just ordered this welder cant wait to get it all set up. hooking up a sub panel in my garage gonna do some garden art ect cant wait !! keep chasing the light bro
Thanks for a review that's up to date, I've been trying to find something in the $1500 or less range that can do everything more or less.
FWIW TH-cam commenters are ridiculous sometimes. Like where's their reviews eh? 😉
I have a PowerTIG 210EXT on backorder that should be shipping this week. I'd LOVE to see you explore some of the advanced features in a future video. Thanks!
Sonny, have you received your 210 yet? I ordered one about a week ago and they’re also saying it’s on backorder...
@@Pablo_M98 Hey Pablo! Yes, I received the 210 and it looks terrific. I ran it through a quick shakedown but have been waiting for my backordered cart since early April now. It is supposed to ship this week. I have to empathize with the delays from China because I am experiencing those in my work life as well. I don't want to take any risks with an unrestrained Argon cylinder, so I am waiting for the cart. I also bought a really nice welding table from weldtables.com and will be assembling that #2 after the cart. Good luck on your backorder! My experience with Everlast customer service is that they are great on the phone, but maybe a tiny bit slow on the email - probably because they are close to being overwhelmed. I felt like my patience paid off with a more satisfying feeling at the end when my machine did arrive :)
Nice review! In depth without feeling fluffy. Much appreciated! Did yours come with Tungsten? I know you said all you need to get started was power and gas but as a caveat I was bummed the day I got mine because an electrode was the only thing I needed. Hopefully they are including one or two with their starter kits now!
Come to think about it I can’t recall. I think it did? Glad you enjoyed the episode tho:) I have a tough time talking too much sometimes so glad it wasn’t too drawn out:) Cheers!
I noticed how you approved of the torches and the consumable starter kit that comes with the welder, because numerous other sources have been underwhelmed and critical of them. I am on the fence over the PowerTIG 200DV and the PowerTIG 210XT myself. Thanks for the review!
Absolutely. I saw other channels bashing them, but they never really explained why. I’ve used them a ton and still do. Obviously I have some nice ck torches I use a lot now as they truly are REALLY nice, but for an out-of-the-box setup, this kit rocks. Thank you so much for checking out the vid! 🙏
@@PacificArcTigWelding Interesting...i enjoy watching weld.com videos about Everlast welders, and one fellow prefers his own tig torch (17F) over the stock issues (to which he said "these are going by by...") that come with the PowerTig 210EXT. Altho i trust his general input, he did not give much of an explanation why he regarded the Everlast torches (9 and 26 series) so poorly. In your video (and experience) you didn't seem to have a problem with them.
Nope:) I filmed four episodes with the stock 26 torch on the weekend. No issues still:)
I've been on the same fence wondering if I go with the 200DV or the 210XT. What did you figure out as far as which one to go with and why?
Awsome video, like always. I to had purchased a 210 ext jus arived in beginning in July. Just got to mess with it this week. Tried welding aluminum with it and i cant have a crisp arc on start up the amp gauge would jump from 5 to 20 and so on. Did u had that problem?
@nytroustym I have the same issue with my 325EXT. Did you figure out what the problem was?
Another great video Dusty.
Good job on the video. I have their 100 amp plasma. It's a good unit
I’ve had my 210ext for three years and worked pretty well until it didn’t, I’m at almost two months without a machine because they are extremely slow. The 5yr warranty was a big selling point for me but is completely useless if it takes month to get any progress on fixing you’re welder.
Ugh that sucks! Hopefully it gets sorted out? That’s a pain!
Did this get sorted? I'm picking one up in Hamilton tomorrow.
I have a 325 EXT and the regulator hose also blew off on me also. Other than that it has been pretty good for me.
Interesting. Good to know I wasn’t the only one. Easy fix tho..!
Dusty, do you like the Everlast PowerTig 210EXT or the CanaWeld AC/DC 201 Pulse-D more? I want to buy one and take your course. I need to learn to TIG weld aluminum and chromoly steel for builing airplanes. Thanks, Thomas
I am just about to purchase a 2020 model 210 EXT from a friend of mine that barely used it, for a decent price. How has this machine held up. I was told that this particular model had a redesign for whatever reason?
@13:00 you said you had it hooked up to 240 volts. What size amp breaker do you have in the panel? Also do you know if you have 10, 8, or 6 gauge internal wiring?
Great Video! Thanks for the help!
I don't know if you have had this idea but I'm looking for replacing the fan on mine with a quieter /better quality device.
I've got the same type of welding machine ( IGBT TIG 200 AC/DC) same front pannel and mine is very loud as well.
Hey dude i have the 255 ext i noticed that when i do stick welding the restart on most rods is a nightmare even with the tip being bare any ideas???
I put $ down on a MT-200 before I found this welder.. in your opinion how do they match up together ?
I have a 255 ext and had the same problem with the clamps on the gas hose.
Crazy! Seems like an easy fix they could catch on to, but easy enough for me to fix I guess
First thing you do is chunk that hose barb and hose in the "purge tools" and go to your LWS and get a regular inert gas hose.
Hey Dussty ... im Taiyo from Mx i just got my first TIG welder it is an everlast 210ext i just have 110 V electric instalation. I dont know what is happening but the tip of my tungsten (red) just keep blowing up and melt into an horrible ball when im just starting , AYUDAME!!!!!
Thanks for all the videos, I just subscribed. I would like your opinion on the Everlast MTS Lightning 225? Can I do the same thing with the 210 EXT?
Is this machine still running? I’m tempted to get one of these units the 325 amp version but I’m wondering how yours has held up over a couple years of use? I currently have an ESAB machine that has not held up well at all. It seems like I have spent more time fixing it then welding. I’m tempted to look for a used transformer machine like a syncrowave 350 as these things were reliable as all hell in my experience. My buddy spent over 10 grand on a Dynasty and that thing has had issues. Miller stood behind it but the fact a top of the line machine had to be repaired multiple times under warranty isn’t good.
Whats your professional opinion on Fronius TIG Machines? I weld pressure tested MRI Machines anywhere from 1mm to 7mm landings on 1 to 2 pass on stainless and aluminum depending on the sequence. All convex welds per “QC”. We run 75% Argon and 25% helium on Aluminum. 100% Argon on Stainless. I honestly would prefer an old school Miller but what do you think?
There is a tool that you use to tighten those original type of hose clamps. They probably leave them a bit loose... I saw someone with a 255 say if you push the select knob in and rotate it the value goes up by 10s. Waiting for mine to show up. I will test all my BS out on it. LOL
OK just got my 210 today. Hose is pre-crimped to the connector in a much more solid way. And yes, if you push in selector knob when you turn it the value counts by ten.
Everlast are really really nice
Had the same issue with my Everlast welder. I just made a new hose.
I am hard stuck in between what i should do. I have a good starter Eastwood tid welder, but it is DC only. I really want to get in AC but to do that I need to upgrade my welder. I dont know if i should just upgrade to an Everlast, or since I have taught myself tig welding just bite the bullet and get a miller and have a welder for the rest of my life. The Everlast are so much cheaper but there has to be a reason why they are half the price for the millers..
Honestly....? If you want to learn? Go green. Miller’s are AMAZING, but learning Tig on a miller is like operating a spaceship when you’re just getting a driver’s license 😂 I’ve had no problem with my green machine, or my CanaWeld machine, and I’ve welded with lots of expensive machines before. 10k$ for a blue or red rig up here compared to a 2-3k$ Tig is a big jump. Either way you’ll be having fun tho! Let me know what you end up doing!🍻
@@PacificArcTigWelding I appreciate that honesty and the insight. It really helps in trying to decide what I end up doing.
Hunter Magill, you do NOT need a Miller to lay down good quality Beads! I've owned several Millers through the past 25 years. My very first Tig Machine was a Miller 250 Syncrowave Tig Runner, which had the Water Cooled setup, and the whole nine yards. That Machine was $6000.00 even back then. They are $7k plus now. I bought that Welder in 2000 and it is still going strong today. I ended up selling it to my Cousin. The reason that Machine has lasted this long is because it is an "old school" Transformer Machine. Everyone is going away from them, due to the advances in Inverter Technology. Even though that Machine is a rock solid workhorse, and will last maybe a life time, with propper care, it has nowhere close to the Features of a properly equipped Inverter Tig. So don't get hung up on spending a small fortune on a Machine because you think it will last you for the rest of your life. New Inverter Machines won't do that. They do wear out! Even Miller and Lincoln are going strongly towards all Inverter based Machines. There are Pros and Cons with both types. Miller just changed the Syncrowave 200 over to Inverter based only this year, and re-named it the Syncrowave 210. We have a couple if the old Transformer 200's at work, and they are the biggest pieces if shit that Miller ever made. Yes even Miller and Lincoln turn out some Junk once in a while. I don't understand it because the 250 and 350 Syncrowaves are some of the most reliable,, time tested,, Tig workhorses of this Industry. I guess that's the difference between a $2500 machine and a $7500 machine. That's what I have found with Miller, is their Top Shelf, Flagship, expensive Machines are almost always great, but the cheaper more affordable "DIY" or Home Hobbyist Machines are usually just that, CHEAPLY made, and won't stand up to being used like a real Welder uses them. So take my advice and get yourself a good quality Inverter Machine, and it should last you a good long time, nit a lifetime, but it should last long enough to pay for itself, and it's own replacement many times over. The beauty of an Inverter is all of the awesome setting and features you get acces to, which make life so much better when welding Aluminum, Stainless, Titanium, Chromoly, etc, etc. Being able to adjust you Frequency from as low as 5hz up to 200hz, and Pulse Capabilities are like hitting the Weld Lottery, Lol especially with a Machine that has a wide range of Pulse adjustments, and upslope/download, being able to set your peak time, pre and post flow adjustments, etc, etc. When you get a Machine that has all these features it just takes your Tig Game to a whole other level.
My personal Tig Machine right now is a Primeweld Tig225X, I have never used a Machine that I liked any better than this, and I have used them all. I have a Friend that we run a side hustle together in the evenings and weekends. He has a Miller Dynasty 350 water cooled that he has $10k wrapped up in after he added the Wireless Foot Pedal to it. 90% of the time we work from my house because he is in love with my Tig225X, and prefers it over his 10k$ Dynasty. That Primeweld cost $800.00 slap ass new, not mention it comes from the factory with a brand new CK Worlwide 17 Torch with the Superflex Cable. Dollar for dollar there's not a better deal in the Welding world. I was very skeptical the first time I heard about this Machine, so I spent 7 maybe 8 months researching it. Everyone that has them loves them. I was looking hard at Everlast myself before I found the Primeweld. The thing that sold me more on the 225C is all of the Conrols are Analog instead of Digital like the Everlast. Some people prefer the Digital. I don't because if this simple reason. I can adjust or set my Machine up 5 times faster than anybody can the Everlast. I have a separate know for every single feature. I don't have to be dicking around scrolling thru Menus to get what I need then pushing buttons over and over. This is especially important when you're just starting a project, and you're making a couple of test runs and fine tuning your Machine for the job at hand. I'm telling you all this just to give you options. I don't have anything to do with Primeweld other than I own one of their Machines. Just don't think you have to spend a fortune to get a quality Machine. When I was younger I didn't think there were way quality Welders on earth other than Big Blue. That's just not the case anymore. I can say this, when I get ready to buy a new Mig Machine in a few months it will probably be a Millermatic 255 Pulse, or it will be the Fronius Transsteel. If your gonna need a Mig to earn money with, and depend on it, those are the 2 Best Machines on the Market. I eat, sleep and breathe Welding/Fabrication/Machining, so I can promise you I have spent more time researching Machines, using them, testing them, and making a living with them as much or more than anyone you know. Hope you end up with a good Machine no matter what brand you choose. Keep your Hood down Brother. Sorry for the long dissertation. Lol
Hunter MaGill, I forgot to tell you that they also have an outstanding Warranty. Go check out all the Video Reboews on it here on TH-cam, there are a bunch of them. Also, Full Color most in depth Owners Manual that you will ever see. I've never seen any company put out as good a Manual as them, and nobody spends the money to print them in full color.
@@phillipchambers8487 Holy hell that is a book. But thank you for the response. I appreciate the honesty because being so indecisive as i am picking my new machine is a chore. I have heard really good things about the prime weld machine. And it is 100% on my radar for something i might consider buying, that price point is too hard to pass up. If I go blue i am 100% paying for the name and the shear fact that people can work on it local to where i live. I am not sure what I would do if something were to happen with any other machine. Thank you again for the response, if really helps me think before i go buying a new machine.
I bought one of these and so far I like it except fir the ground clamp. It will work kn a flat steel table top but if you have to clamp on to anything irregular it pops off. The spring is way too stiff and the pivot for the jaws is so sloppy that the splay apart. On my first project it popped off the work at least 10 times. Horrible. I bought it to replace my miller diversion which literally blew up so the first thing I did was cannibalize the miller grounding clamp and throw the everlast one in the trash. Other than that, so far so good. I was even able to do some welding up on a ladder using the torch switch in 2t. First time. Once I got the amps and slopes dialed in it worked well. Hope it lasts.
Recently found your channel, really neat TIG welding art you do. Have a few questions though, although first a little backstory into my TIG buying dilemma.
I've been wanting to get into TIG welding for awhile, and just recently pulled the trigger on a machine after allot of researching; boy were there allot of options that can be somewhat overwhelming. I was looked at Primeweld TIG225, AHP TIG 201XD, Everlast 185DV, Everlast 200DV and even the one you reviewed; the Everlast 210EXT, although a little more than I wanted to spend on this particular unit starting off.
Since I'm new to TIG, I figured maybe it was good to buy features to grow with as time went on, I know I wanted AC ability for when I finally dabble into Aluminum, Pulse capability, more of a digital interface v an analog one, and a smaller footprint since I am limited on space in my garage.
Ended up ordering a Everlast PowerTig 185DV, it hasn't arrived yet, but from what I can tell it has just about has all the features one would need starting out if you don't want to weld anything thicker than 1/4 aluminum. Now after ordering it, and her in is where my question lies is, from what the internet of course says, that anything under a 200 AMP capable machine is not worth it , second question is how important is having more control with the Pulse settings since the 185 DV only has 1HZ & 50HZ options.
100% depends on what you're doing. I mostly do sheet metal and work up to 5mm all in stainless 304 or 316 with the occasional mild steel work. Been doing it 10 years working in the food industry and rarely go anywhere near the limit of my lincoln invertec 220. Most of my work is sub 150A as its a lot of 0.9 - 3mm, 5mm is right up the top end of my work.
If I worked in pipe or plate with much thicker stuff then I would deffinately need the extra amperage but I'd imagine that machine will suit you well for a while and you can always sub out heavier gauge work until you can afford a bigger machine.
👏🏽
Cheers thanks!
God bless brother
For beginners you recommend this machine or 250ex which is more analog. Only $100 price difference. Greatly appreciate
Great HONEST review, but I'm about to bust! How does this compare to your little yellow buddy (CANAWELD) next to it?
Both seem great, but I can have but one. I trust your input.
Hahaha about to BUSSSST!? Love it. I honestly use my yellow guy more than the green at the moment. It’s so simple. Now that I’ve got a better torch lead for it, I love that little thing:)
@@PacificArcTigWelding You are a great guy ! Keep up the good work !
Cheers! More stuff coming!
What is the post flow range on this machine? Thanks
Nice video! I just bought this machine yesterday it's a great machine so far, I weld for a living just like you so I will be putting this machine through the ringer lol. Mine didn't come with any gas lenses though was it supposed to or did you purchase that accessory?
Hey is it still going good
You do artwork for customer
I bought a 255 Ext.
Solid machine!💪💪💪
@@PacificArcTigWelding whew! thank you, that sets my mind at ease a lot!
One of my good friends just got the exact same machine. He’s a long time Tig welder and has used lots of machines, and he’s super happy how that one stacks up! He’s been burning up a lot of projects too so it’s getting put through the paces! 💪💪💪
@@PacificArcTigWelding that's great to here! Thank you very much for that, that means a lot to me! I'm just trying to purchase a new helmet now, something better than what I have which is a POS. I'm gonna go through your vids and see if you did anything on that subject also!
Does the fans ever shut off
hi sir.can i have your stick welding handle? thank you in advance g
GOD BLESS
I owned one of these and the fan noise drove me nuts. The people at Everlast are tone deaf when it comes to fan noise. Big thumbs down to their noisy fan design.
Mine showed up broke. It took way too much time money and effort to deal with that company. I hope anybody watching this does the smart thing and buys a HTP or Esab. Way better customer service.
Yes Everlast is terrible and everyone is duped by these paid for reviews it sad.
I’m not paid a cent. Honest review 🍻
I agree and its sad and not everyone knows these are paid for reviews.
Not paid!😂
One of the things we give up when our seller is not a local dealer: QC demo and testing before it goes out the door. I was offered test welding with both the Miller 220 and the Lincoln Squarewave 210 there, too. Buying on line is giving me guilt pangs, plus they all know our local business, well, as weld, whoops, well, as well.
These hose clamps are disgusting. The stainless steel ones are a bit better but, officially you are only allowed to take unremovale clamps. Crimping ones for example. Altough its more critical on stuff like oxy.
Everlast Chinese salesman here.
You don't always get what you pay for I bought an esab 205 and is a piece of crap. Totally unconsistent and has arc issues. The 205 wasn't cheap and there customer service and rep service sucks. For a $3000 machine it should be way better. Looking into a Everlast 255ext with cooler but a little hesitant about after the esab that thing is just a dust collector.
ESAB 205 is now a $4099 list price machine (less a $250 rebate as of 2023 April). From what I hear & read, the 205 is like the nice little girl with the curl in the middle of her forehead: when she's great, she's awesome, but when she's bad, she's awful (or "horrid" in the original, to rhyme with forehead, LOL).
Way, WAY too much, superfluous fluff-talk.
I’m a fluff talker....
Might help to watch a Bob Moffatt video or 2.
You yap to much, get to the flippen point!
