Too cheap to be good?

What do we reckon to that?

Wouldn't mind a stud welder for panel pulling and that seems to be way under half the price of similar looking systems.

Is it a case of "if it looks too good to be true, it probably is"? Bearing in mind it would get very light hobby use only.

I doubt it.

Most couriers require a phone number so they can contact the addressee

Have seen them here cheap.

Seller only has a feedback of only 37, so must be new. Wonde if he'll be around for support later

Check Harbor Freight in the US...........most of this Chinese stuff seems to get sold there before here, with the only difference being prices in places like Machine Mart are sometimes nearly double that in the US.

On sale at Horror Freight for $99

Probably something that works then, but maybe not for that long..........lol

Seller's address is a private dwelling, he's probably drop-shipping.

I will consider one of his spot welders when I've got a spare £200, this gets good reviews on the HF site.

I've found that sometimes these chinese 'copies' are simply re-branded products which would usually cost a bit more, so service items and spares are not a problem, however £200 is quite a high price to pay for the risk.

HF site?

£22 is excessive £10 is about right for P&P

As they are $99 in the US, if you can find someone there prepared to send as a gift to avoid import duties, then it might be much cheaper.

If you check his feedback, those that bought this item seem pleased, ask if you can arrange your own courier.
