What slave labor? I think you aren't up on the times.

 

[Mark @ Everlast]

Would this would be a better place to manufacture in?

What slave labor? I think you aren't up on the times.

Then why build in china?

 

[Mark @ Everlast]

I see your understanding is way out of date. Because workers get paid less than the converted dollar doesn't mean its slave labor, especially if their wages pay for them to buy what they want and need and support their families. I talk regularly with the factory personnel. They have nicer things and than I do! Right now with inflation, I budget to buy eggs.

 

[Hersheyfarm]

What? Lol. Again, why build in china?

I’m all for it, your talking to an anti union dude. I think people should make only what they can in a capitalist market, not what the collective says their worth. Firm believer in “the world needs ditchdiggers too” Philosophy. I’m one, but I can squeak out a few grand a day, some people in my same field do good too make a couple hundred a day. That’s their problem, nothing stopping them from doing things I do except skill and ambition.

but lets not kid ourselves, there is a reason companies build in china and its not currency conversion. Dont be one of those people.

Our factory is NOT a collective. You are living in the 60's on old information. China, with regards to their operations is very capitalistic. Their politics are not. I'm not a union guy either.

And if you'd kindly stop highjacking this thread, it would be appreciated.

Hello Members of TractorByNet,

I'd like to introduce Everlast Welders as a proud sponsor of this welding
forum. A lot of people may not be familiar with us. As a U.S. company that
manufactures and distributes professional quality inverter welders and
plasma cutters, our products are made to meet American and Canadian
Specifications in our exclusive factories in China.

We believe in the quality of our welders to the extent that we offer a 5
year replacement warranty on all of our units, with a 30 day satisfaction
guaranteed return policy. Also, we maintain a highly qualified technical
support staff available to assist the customer 5 days a week and on most
weekends. We also can assist our customers with technical welding related
questions as well, whether its what welding rod to use or what settings to
use to weld aluminum with TIG.

While in our humble beginning, we offered an "off the shelve" product that
was available from many clone factories in China, our company decided to
part from the mass of importers, who made many wild and unsubstantiated
claims of performance and durability. Our Power Series product line is not
a cloned or copied product line, even to the point that much of it is patent
protected. We take pride in that fact. Our customers come to us from a
wide horizon. We have professionals in the industry and home hobbyists. We
have fabricators and we have pipe liners. We have motorsports facilities
and we have ship yards. We have the part timer and the full timer. We have
farmers and we have loggers. An Everlast unit is likely to go anywhere when
it is shipped, from Alaska to the Bahamas. Our Canadian division spans all
of Canada with its sales and support as well.

Although the Everlast company has been around now for about 5 years, we
realize it's is not that long compared to many brands. However, our company
has learned, grown and evolved during that time to make it one of the
fastest growing welding product companies in the U.S. by continually
releasing and supporting new products that meets the customers' demands.
Our product stands on its own, ready to go head to head with the
competition. Our latest line of Power Series welders and plasma cutters
feature IGBT electronics from Infineon. Everlast is the first import
manufactured company in the U.S. to have a fully integrated line of IGBT
powered inverter products throughout its entire product line, and to fully
incorporate IGBT modules into its' premium units. The Power Series from
Everlast also offers high duty cycles that meet and exceed most of the
industry at the same amperage.

We do offer a full and portable product line of Stick, Tig, and Mig product
line:

I'll be around to answer any questions about Everlast products, welding in
general and to participate in the rest of the tractor forums. I am quite
knowledgeable in tractor repair, maintenance, and specialize in odd or hard
to find tractors. I might even have a shop manual or two laying around.

If you have any questions, please let me know. You can call me any time at (877) 755-WELD (9353) ext 204 or by e-mail at performance@everlastwelders.com.

Hope to see you soon on the forums!

Thank you!

I clicked on the links above and none of them works. I was interested in a plasma, but with no stores with your products around a person would have to stock up on all the consumable.
Thank You.

Note how far back it goes? 2010. That's 12 year. Those products and website have been updated since. And a new site is on the way again and hopefully will be in place by the end of the year. This is the third revision of our website since then. But here is our link to all that. Our product line has probably doubled or tripled since then. Our site is bursting at the seams and we need to expand it and redo it to accommodate products that were only a dream back then. Our current version is from 2013...although we've patched and edited it and expanded it about as far as it will go... We did recently have to go to a better, faster server.

Oops…

Our factory is NOT a collective. You are living in the 60's on old information. China, with regards to their operations is very capitalistic. Their politics are not. I'm not a union guy either.

you got it…keep up the good work. Lol.

China has come a loooong way...very capitalistic but heavy handed gov't, with limited liberties (with such a huge population, there comes drawbacks).

OK, now back on the thread.

I have a friend that has a generator/welder repair business. He is Lincoln/Miller certified, as well as generac. Been doing it for about 10 years now. He still doesn't like inverters and recommends transformers for the long haul. I just bought (for some chicken feed), an older Miller 250 that I have yet to use. It came as a hand me down from my work, but since I just started my job, I don't have any background experience with it. I was told it will overheat and stop. I still need a bottle of argon to get some testing done. I want to say it is about 20 years old, and Miller does not offer a transformer for it. IF they did, it would probably cost in the neighborhood of $1300, based on how much they sell one for a Miller 252 costs. OUCH. I'm hoping it might be something as simple as a loose wire, or bad cooling fan. My welding needs are usually short and repair oriented. Our weld shop has now gone totally Red, with about 12 units. 1 hypertherm plasma on a 2 axis table.

But $1300 would go a long ways to buy a nice inverter welder. So, there are 2 sides to every story. My friend says the inverter models (miller/lincoln) are very costly to repair too.


Time will tell if I made a bad investment (chicken feed).
