G'day Norm,
It seems Ozito isn't too bad for home use but I know a few people that have burnt out new power tools on day one and taken them back for
a refund and the sales people just say you are better off with a better brand.
I've burnt out / overheated some Ozito tools but I then have a good excuse to throw them out ,as I end up with a lot
of power tools.
Your Ozito welder is only used as a back up welder but if you used it all day long I would suspect it wouldn't last long.
It's amazing how long the old transformer welders last like your one from 1964 and it would be easier to learn on
The thing is, to most these days a $100. Ozito welder is nothing so if they get a little use out of it ,it's payed for itself
especially if you compare what a welder would charge you for a 15 minute welding job these days.
My Inverter Welder is over 20 years now so I'd say a new Inverter Welder would work a lot better due to advancements in technology
making them a substantial upgrade in welding performance but I do like the reliability of the old Transformer welders.
Cheers
Max.
