Default Eastwood welders

Anyone use them? I'm looking at picking up their 200 amp ac/dc tig welder.

I've got that unit, very nice and easy to work with and very reasonable price tag.

I'm glad to hear that. There's not much that's comparable at the price either.

Buddy bought one for working on his racecar. Now he's not building sweet cages or anything, but this welder seems to be quite an amazing deal on what it does for that price.

I've heard better things about the AHP welder. More functions quality and features.
Robot Check

Chucke2009 did a great comparison.

The channel weld.com also does reviews of TIG welders such as eastwood, AHP, everlast etc if you want to check it out.

One of the things to look for on the AHP tig welder is the pulse per second settings. The version 3 has a range of .5pps to 30pps which isn't a lot of room for adjustment. This is something they might change on the next versions but I'm not sure if they have yet.

I have an AHP and I think it's pretty neat but I think it's worth comparing what features each one has and get one that suits your needs

I have the 240 amp MIG welder from them. I use the gas with solid wire. I am very happy with it.

I've heard they are great welders at a great price. I was considering getting the 3 in 1. Mig, stick, and tig.

i have the 135 mig welder and cart...its a great welder at a very good price...mine can use flux core wire or solid wire and gas, I am currently using flux core wire and it makes remarkably good welds! I have used alot of different welders from hobart, miller, lincoln and others. This one is on par with the best ones out there in my opinion.
