Hilarious that some folks still think there are welders still made in the USA. They bash China welders and are unaware that they own one. Miller has only "assembled" in USA for 15 years Same with Smith torches. Lincoln hides the manufacturer the best and only uses the smallest print for COO ( country of origin ). I don't like China at all but if you want a welder from Japan or Europe be prepared to pay for the true quality of OTC, Sanrex, Lorch, Fronius etc.
