Anyone know anything about HYL welding machines? Tries to find some reviews for the HYL TIG200P but nothing to be found.

A little reserved about dropping $$ on an unproven welder… I assume it is Chinese, but the China welders are getting better these days…

I found an online manual (800TIG160DIPU.pdf), but that manual shows the welder having connections for TIG gas and controller, between the positive and negative. This one doesn’t show those connections in the photo.

If you are going to buy a welder from china… you might as well get one from Harbor Freight.

I dare you to go to your local welding shop and ask for consumables for these. I’m not sure that calling the numbers on the manual will do much better after six months.

Thermal arc, HTP, Everlast would all be better buys for the same money.

I found a couple reviews at a welding site. Seem to be pretty positive.

I’m a professional welder and never head of this brand. You can’t go wrong with Lincoln, Miller or Hobart, with full factory support world wide. Parts and consumables available almost anywhere.

The link fron zuiquan got me investigating. This is NOT generic Chinese equipment, they are solid-state inverter equipped (versus traditional iron core transformer). Interesting technology… http://www.iwestore.com/index.php/faqs

Underselling a partner site by $5 (plus $9 less in shipping)

Definitely Chinese. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HszW4DoUkc

Reviews are not too bad. Wondering about repairs and service. Where do we go if things break?

The last item in the features tab for each item lists the warranty that’s included.
