Is it just me GYS? Bargain?

[Badbusboy]

Hello all,
long time lurker and member (for a long time just terrible at posting). Read forum nightly though
Does this seem like one of the GYS models but considerably cheaper?

Same casing but that doesn't mean it's the same internals.

gasless

 

[Badbusboy]

Is it gassless? I missed that. Thought I wasn't mistaken. Thanks both.

gasless

No, from the gumph it appears to be dual-purpose.

Says MIG and gasless suggests it does both to me.

I remember a dealer on here saying similar about that Sherman Tig. Didn't age well.

 

[Badbusboy]

OK. Short of taking one to bits I'll not know if it is identical to the same cased GYS or not. Possibly worth a punt for someone. I personally was watching this, but my better half would have had me hung/drawn/quartered. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204283030000 I really liked the look of it.

Richie who was that?

Thread here about it.

Sherman Tig (Jasic in disguise?)

On their web site it looks like they have a synergetic mig welder too....not seen anyone on here with it though so dunno how good it would be. https://shermaneurope.com/collections/mig-mag-welders/products/digimig-225gds-synergy-sherman-inverter-welder

First four or five pages give you the gist. One ex member named bbe555 gave some extra context in his posts as he owned a jasic at the time but they got deleted when he got booted.

It is a rebadged GYS Smartmig162 - I bought one & the part numbers for the spares are identical. Comes with a European plug and the manual in French.

Some other models also listed. PM me for more info
