Pros
- The cheapest pulsed AC/DC TIG here
- Adjustable AC frequency and pulse give real control over aluminum heat
- Dual voltage, so it runs on a household outlet
- 10 memory slots save settings for repeat jobs
Cons
- No pedal or regulator, which adds cost before the first weld
- The 60% duty cycle has no current attached, so its real endurance is unknown
- Sold as a clearance item with limited stock
