Had the TGB 7018E16x532x55 assembled in no time. I really doubt you would be unhappy with it! Seems very sturdy and folds up easily. It is very light weight and portable. Use them all over in my workshop.

TGB 7018E16x532x55 Final Thoughts
"You get what you pay for!"
First off I want to speak about the company TGB. Liked the compact size of it. I live in another country where good quality welders are not available. Had the TGB 7018E16x532x55 assembled in no time. Great addition to the the shop.
