Everything says the magnetic strength is 150lbs, I think we can all agree on that. Good ergonomics, very good bite on electrodes, and easy to install. I always wonder if I could weld anything and it worked. It has a plastic cover to protect the display from splatter and dirt. All of the settings seem to do exactly what they claim to do.

SÜA 308LR11x532 Final Thoughts
"Highly recommended."
I needed it in order to weld aluminum successfully on the mobile. Seems very sturdy and folds up easily. It is sturdy, heavy duty and just right for a DYI garage guy. I take it with me for on site jobs. As you can see I put 5 stars.
