    Got a interesting response from Eastwood today .

    Some How one of the techs accepted one of these for repair .

    Eastwood stated were sorry we do not have any Schematics or tech support for any of our products .

    Kinda hard to troubleshoot when you have nothing to work with.

    We have been trying for years it is the same with all of the China made equipment no support.

    Let the buyer beware .

    I liked it before, but I have to say adding the shift ball looks pretty darn sweet! I might try something like that with my auto shifter just to be cool

    Thanks, wasn't too bad. All said and done (welder, cart, gas/cylinders, all consumables etc) it was $4k.

    Spread that cost over a lifetime and it's not that much money.

    That second 135 bottle of C25 is a game changer. Lasted so much longer in between fill ups having that second one to swap out. Also realized I had a Praxair super close to my house. Was only $96 to refill two 135 bottles.

    Sorry guys, wife and I went out last night. So I didn't have a chance respond then.

    Right now, I only have 2 of the triangle squares. They are steel.

    I have one of the monster square clones. It is out if aluminum. It actually is my prototype. It is rough and looks it.

    I don't care for the monster square units that much. I have found the triangle units to be very user friendly.

    I have been selling 2, triangle, iron squares for$95. That includes the shipping.

    If someone wants the 2 triangle squares. I will throw in the aluminum square for an extra $10.

    Mods feel free to delete this post if it violates the BST rules, I don't have much time to throw together a true add. I'll do one later.

    How many extra batteries does it come with ??

    While I like my Cordless drill and impact for those quick jobs I guess a cordless grinder used with a cut off wheel for Road Side Emergencies might be of some use.

    I am being so good not buying tools
