What do you think about chinese tig welders?

Everlast, Longevity, Riland, Rtech, Real Gear, Eastwood, are just a few of the names.

Here is why I think they are getting such a toe hold in the market.

Some of the better units can do most anything that a brand name welder like Miller or Lincoln can do and at a fraction of the price....like less than half.

As you know, I have field tested several imported welders and I have also made several videos showing jobs that were done.

The end result is usually pretty much the same as the big names.

Whats behind the helmet matters way more than the welding machine itself.

So then it comes down to things like customer support and service.

I think a few of the import companies will step up and offer swap out programs as part of the warranty.

When that happens it might be rough sledding for the big names. They might have to do the same.

I talk to folks all the time how want to get started tig welding but just cant pony up four thousand bucks for a new Miller or Lincoln Tig. They would love to buy Miller or Lincoln but just cant see spending that much for their first welder.

I like both Miller and Lincoln too.

But I include imported tig welders in videos because people are interested in them.

What do you think?
