Everlast welders are excellent value and are getting good reviews on customer support which is usually the first thing that suffers on lower priced welders.

Awesome. Thanks Alexander. I'll give them a shout tomorrow as I'd like to get back to my project ASAP as the stock carbon blade lasted maybe 10 cuts of square tubing.
