Mig Guns

[SeanMurphy265]

My gun arrived today, and I thought I would post a little comparison.

There's not that much difference in the size of the gun. The only real difference is the length. I wanted a longer gun and I was not unhappy with the stock mig gun. I think it's good comparison for Everlast, and it's good for people to see there is not a whole lot of difference between the ergo plus and a tweco gun.

The problem there is that is probably too long. The drive feeders will be put under extra stress, and the two roll drive may not feed well. 15 ft should be okay, but it looks like you have 25 foot. A lot of things start happening when your cable gets that long...and none of them are good operationally speaking. Plus the tips and nozzle parts are available at every harbor freight. This gun is used by many companies, and sold even through snap on with this basic design. Another "common" welder I can think of is the old clarke welders also used the same parts.

I have not measured the gun, but I ordered a 15 footer. I have plans for a larger mig welder soon, but I wanted some extra length for my imig200. I may have to send it back.

Going by the blocks on your porch the oem torch covers 6 blocks and the tweco torch covers 9. If the oem torch is 10' that would make the tweko 15'.

should be 12. That would make the tweco 18...camera angle is probably why it looks so much longer.

That appears to be the same gun I have. That's about what I paid, but I got free shipping through Amazon.
