Great video! I am considering one of these for my next welder.

[WheelLoveTV]

Yall should go over hooking up the included spool gun. Im having trouble doing so and cant find clear info on it

[therookiefisherman]

I wanted to see the spool gun in use???

[redram]

My dad has this welder with spool gun. Works very nice. And relative to the cost of Hobart. Lincoln, and Miller, it’s cheap

Wen to the Edison NJ store today
They said it's brand new and didn't have any in stock. Website said in stock. Drive 1.5 hours to the store. Ugh

Well can tell you this, have tried to reach out to Eastwood to order this MIg 180, I have not been able to get through. Online it states the following
when you try to order it online:
We are currently experiencing delays in processing and shipping orders - we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience as we work to get things back on track! So I need to wait for how Long? who knows cant get through. Just turned me off from getting anything from Eastwood.

I've been trying to buy a new MIG welder this week, but the Eastwood website is down, Eastwood customer service doesn't answer, and there are no answers or help from any of their reps. If this is Eastwood's idea of customer service, I'll look elsewhere, warrantee and low price notwithstanding. Change my mind.

[FOG-]

Got one. Didn't work.Brand new out of the box. QC is a little lax I would think. 🖕Eastwood!

[speedpedals]

Eastwood is Chinese garbage painted blue. There is absolutely no back up service down the road with any of their welders. Anyone considering a welder from Eastwood would be far ahead if they would purchase a Harbor Freight. Both have about the same amount of backup but, HF works and Eastwood is crap. Ask me about my experience with Eastwood and the MIG 175.
