Same one I have, it works really well. Havn't had any problems with it, and I believe they're made by Lincoln.

I als have the same one. It has worked fine for me through 4 turbo kits, and like 5 spools of wire. Just don't expect to weld anything realy thick, it doesn't have a really high amperage output. Oh it says made in italy on the welder itself.

Yeah, but I called Sears and they told me Lincoln made them. I called bullshit, so I called Lincoln myself and they said it was true.

$300? I'd definately go for it. I got one of those Home Depot "Lincoln" welders and I don't even know how many timnes I've used it. It's a good tool to own because it's saved my *** many times
