SnapOn, the tools favored by lesbyans around the world, shops specs and buys batches of welders from whatever manufacturer throws the lowest bid. Figuring out who made the machine is usually a chalenge as is buying consumables or parts. God may not be able to help if you need repairs.
There are some secondary parts vendors, but the price is still high because they figure if you overpaid SnapOn you might as well overpay them too.
SnapOn dealers are generally helpless when it comes to repairing the machines, and if they send it someplace for repair you can generally figure on never seeing a weorking machine again.
