Grizzly H8153 220V TIG-Pulse 160 amp, Stick 130 amp welder.
I just picked this up at a garage sale. I don't have a 220V outlet here at home in town to see if it works so I'll have to wait until I get back to the ranch next week to try it.
All I can find online is a couple of reviews when Grizzly sold these in 2007, its manuals, and Grizzly's listing showing it is discontinued and no parts available. It sold back then for $525. Hopefully it's a step above Harbor Freight's $400
#62486 that has similar specs.
I need to read the manual but my question here is does anyone have one of these, and is it a competent tool? What can I expect for reliability considering its an orphan?
I didn't pay much for it so as I noted in another thread this is one of those gambles where you win more often than not, but its definitely a gamble.
Comments welcome!
