I thought this was a bit cheap, so I thought it may not be all that good. I thought it may be a lightweight flimsy thing and I thought it might just last a short time. The thing is, I obviously think too much. It turns out his is a great product for the money, especially for occasional use as a home-welder (as I am). Very impressed with quality and substance, especially for the cost. If you're a pro, you may need more, I suppose. But for me, doing occasional welding in a workshop holding various motorcycling exotica that cry out for protection against hot stuff, this is great for them and excellent peace of mind for me. Well chuffed.
