as above? im talking about the standard 5.5hp honda generators and a 160amp inverter running at full power, willl it work i believe it wont am i wrong?
coupla nice transformers on ya profile there. pickhills just up the road from me pity. there out of buisness makin welders had mine 30 years
sorry about that pickhill is still in buisness but only sell generators now not weldersWhen did pickhill go to the wall? Great shame because their welders were top class, the Giant at work is at least 40 year old, mind you thats probably their
downfall if they last as long as that you don't replace them unlike that f****** crappy cosmo mig i got to do some really light fab work for her indoors.

I suggest you are not making a fair comparison, even in jest. There's virtually nothing to go wrong with a transformer-based arc welder, is there? It would be more than amazing if ANY mig welder lasted 40 years without the need for some attention. Of course, I'd agree that Pickhill's welding machines were top notch with ultra high build quality. Cosmo MIGs are not built to last like that but it's still not a fair comparison. Why didn't you buy a Portamig if you need something a bit closer to Pickhill quality?
Calm down George, he only stated an opinion, also shared by many. He wasn't having a go at you, so there's no need to have a go at him. Ok?
