After checking out various reviews of the different models of battery tab welder out there I decided to purchse this model. Packaging was a little iffy and I expected that from a Chinese imported product. Fortunately nothing in the package was damaged. So far I haven't been disappointed. The machine itself seems to be reasonably robust, but I ended up wrapping the leads on the handheld attachment in heat resistant kapton tape to prevent a meltdown since I adjusted the tips on it to their closest position. The highly adjustable power settings and multiple pulse weld functions provide plenty of power even on a 110V circuit. I actually purchased the unit to use for something other than batteries and it worked flawlessly for that purpose. I'm sure I'll be using it for battery packs at some point down the road, but for now it served its purpose nicely. For the price I'm really impressed with what it comes with for accessories. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.
