14 August 2024

All looks good to me
05 August 2024

I will be using the machine on a farm I work at and various jobs for friends. A few companies I have helped out have R-Tech welding machines and say the are good. So far I am impressed with the quality.

Tig welding Ali sheet , very good
01 October 2022

I ordered a shop soiled AC/DC 160 tig welder but it was significantly more damaged than a few scuff marks. Still waiting for a box to repackage and the totally incompetent DHL couriers to deliver the box, then return and collect it, then recieve my replacement.
05 August 2021

Mainly use for *** *** so handy coming with pedal and everything you need recommended for any Hoby/commercial *** using rtech machines. Being able to repair in house sold it for me no more worrying what if things go wrong
16 March 2021

I wanted a general purpose analogue control set for medium/small items. This fitted the bill at competitive value with a 3yr warranty. It could do with a lower setting on AC Amps, but otherwise well pleased with it.
01 November 2020

Quality seems fine good for experienced use as is all TIG welders i am currently renovating a classic car
29 October 2020

The TIG welder will be used in my personal workshop, I would recommend the product to my friends , the quality is super , there is no evidence of shop soiled condition
03 October 2020

I will be using this welder for general tig welding duties, including sculptures in a variety of metals, such as stainless steel, silicon bronze, copper and aluminium. The welder is a delight to use and would be a boon to anyone with a love of working in metals.
29 September 2020

Not used item yet however impressed by the looks of the welder
18 August 2020

I really like the welder (I cannot tell in what manner it was shop soiled). I particularly like the foot pedal. I think this makes all the difference for me. I managed to weld aluminium straight away without my usual blowing holes in it. I think as a poor ** welder it is really good to have a good welding set. It cant make you into a great welder but it can make life a lot easier. This set makes my other welding sets feel a bit second rate, and I have barely started learning how to use it.
13 February 2020

Hobby, home DIY, may take on more as people are asking for things to be repaired. All engineers at work are interested in the equipment, and close mates, fantastic quality, looks and feels great
