Just to show a pic of my one, So far (8mths) and no probs, only drawback is the weedy earth lead, and short torch hose. Euro torch conversion will probably happen soon ish, funds allowing....
Earth is definitely too weedy, and the torch could do with being a couple of feet longer. Having only recently got mine, I think it's a bit early to be modifying it. You could be first with a modded 160TM
No. You need polarity reversal on the earth lead for that...Negative (-) & Positive (+) connections to swap it over. It's expensive to buy & sh1te anyway (on thin sheet) so I wouldn't bother worrying

Here is my one. Only Had it about 3 months but very happy with it. As said before coult do with longer torch and earth. The position on the trolly gives it extra reach
i have just got my 160Tm and now i can weld! so much better than before.
only one question. should the power rocker switch be illuminated as mine isnt.
thanks for the info. actually now i put my glasses on i see it has a picture next to the switch which i think shows the thermal cutout so it must light up when overloaded i suppose.
