Re: 12V Impact Wrench..What to get?

We run all three of the makita ones. Have been great so far. I would not buy the baby brushed unit again, as the baby brushless is so much better.

Re: Welder advice (high end)

Thanks mate.

I should clarify what I said above..

I don't need to have procedures - I think it is a good idea though, and as I weld a big variety of components it would make it quicker to set up each time.

Thanks for your help.

Re: Welder advice (high end)

Thanks guys.
I need to do procedures for all welded components so the synergistic models will make it a lot easier. Dialing in exact numbers leaves a lot less margin for ever - compared to turning a variable dial that have a habit of getting bumped.
Has anyone here had to do procedure type work?

Has anyone here run the miller xmt350 Mpa? $4700 from the US - can run on 240 / 415v.
I have a Maxstar 300lx at the moment - so would be easier to stay with the same brand.
