Thread: New Power Pro 256

  1. Default New Power Pro 256

    Just received a new Power Pro 256. Everything arrived in about 5 business days and in good condition. The only issue is the foot pedal supplied with the unit does not work. The Tig Torch switch works fine so I know it is the pedal. Contacted Tech support and after a few minutes of trouble shooting and no results. Everlast is shipping a new pedal out to me. As a matter of fact I got the shipping notice to my email about 15 minutes after I hung up with Warranty.

    Sure the pedal not working is a negative, but the way it got handled seems to be fast and fair. Support can always be a concern when I buy products that are not as mainstream as Miller or others. I am satisfied so far that Everlast has done a good job. The second positive is, because I could not wait to test the Tig functions, I had to learn a new skill. I had never tig welded with a torch switch. I learned some things and although a foot pedal makes everything, especially aluminum weld easier, I have been able to lay down some decent beads with the torch switch. I skill that will no doubt come in handy in some race car roll cage some day.

    I bought the 256 to put in my race car trailer because I don't have a lot of space or extra weight capacity. In most cases, like any good fabricator, if I have some plate, a plasma cutter, a grinder and a tig machine I can make just about any bracket that could break.

    Thanks,

    Bill

    That will be a great unit for your trailer! I'm glad to hear you got such quick service from Everlast. Post some pics of those new skills when you have a chance!

    Today as promised my replacement pedal assembly arrived. I hooked it up and it worked fine. All is well that ends well. Did not have a chance to weld with it. I will try it after work today. thanks Ray in Tech Support.

    Ray's a great guy. He always tries to be helpful and full of knowledge. Had a few questions for him and he was very patient and informative (even though I was a pain!). Good to hear they delivered on their promise. Cheers!
    Is it OK to want to break something just so that you can weld it back together?
