Jasic vs rtec

[Jacktegla]

Hi guys wondering if people could give me there opinion. So currently looking for a new t9 me ac dc tig welder. I've narrowed it down to 2 welders for sale

1 is the new jasic et-200acdc it's second had but like new and just comes with basics, torch and earth lead.

The 2nd option would be the rtec 170 digital acdc tig comes with fair few goodies like purging kit and footpedal.

Now the jasic is £1200 and rtec around £900 , however I've had 1 rtec machine before and had a few issues with it so am wary but have also had an issue with a jasic mig in work jasic was easily sorted by getting in touch with them as was brand new, Bearing in mind I don't want to be having to buy another welder in next few years. Any suggestions On which to go few let me know if more info is needed. Tia

I have a rtech equipment and it’s been faultless. If it was my money I would buy the new rtech 171 tig Easy set up 5 year warranty.

hmm something to think of is this one really that much better than the old digital one, only reason i say is the other one is second hand i know, but has all the accesories that add up to a fair couple of hgundered ontop of the £1200 for the brand new rtec

And a lot far cheaper with very similar origins.

If you want to weld aluminium then the more amps the better

I have the Parweld XTT 202P AC/DC, can’t fault it, but I’m no pro welder. Got it from Weldequip and was the best deal at the time.

If you are wanting to weld alloy go for the highest amperage you can .
The new range of R Tech welders are very good .
If you go for one use my name & mention the forum .
