I bought a 518 , welder from Longevity-inc dot com .

Transistors are soldered into PCB ,

T' stand upright .

T' are screwed into a heavy heat sink .

Legs are breaking off .


STUPID !

T' must be soldered to PCB , PCB must be screwed
down to heat sink really solid , then a screw can pull T'
against the heat sink for good heat transfer .


Also the 518 uses 2 relays to handle 180 amps .
Cant possibly last !

The best welders use big switch on front panel .

I cant fix it . cant glue nor solder the T' legs back on .


Longevity JUNK ...

Gunner, prepareing a kill filter.....
Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional,
illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an
unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the
proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
