I sold it about a year ago as i got an inverter welder. The inverter is awesome with being portable and DC, makes welding with the cellulose rods i use for really tough welds easy. The old AC one refused to work with them, the new one lays them down so easily! It does however lack the ability to weld all day. I can lay a 3.25mm rod at a full 150A and it lays it beautifully, but then it shuts down to cool. When cool its good to go again. Thats its only draw back, the bad duty cycle.I'm sure i could do with more amps, but 150 seems to do all i need. Its great being able to throw it over your shoulder and walk to the job, run a lead to it and you are good to go. The old one tore my shoulder out of its socket!</blockquote>
