Only one way to find out......go lay down some beautiful fish scales and report back

Have often wondered if i should move with the times and trade my old fridge sized tig in for
a sexy new inverter thingy!

I can tell you that it was probably made by Greenbird in China. My 180amp AC one of their's was.

So long as you can pat your head, and rub your tummy, while standing on one leg, you will be fine

If it works it'll be fine That might sound like an obvious statement but half the problem with the chinese welders is quality control, some work some dont, some fail quickly, some last years.....

As I've said in many other posts I use a GIANT which is the same as the WSE200's etc and probably this Cobel too. Its worked well for over 2 years and welded 100'ish aluminium manifolds at 170-200A. Others have bought WSE's and they havent worked from day 1.
