We had a contractor build a 14x28' steel patio cover last year. For some reason they needed a new welder, and the contractor brought a new HF unit. The welder spend about an hour trying to get it to work correctly, then called the contractor and read him the riot act. A new Lincoln unit from Lowes arrived, and the welder was a happy man. The job looks good as well. You get what you pay for. Yes, Curt - read my tag line . . .
