Default ebay tig welder any good? what do you guys think?

I was looking at this tig/arc/plasma cutter welder. I know is cheap but for what we use it I dont think its that bad. What do you guys think? I wish I could try it.

With a name like exploited, I would not be talking

A name is a name, just that.

There's a reason Miller gets so much for their machine...caue quality isn't free or cheap.

Notice that they don't even list a duty cycle.

Also....it can cut 1/2" material on 110v input? BULLSHIT!!!

Just your average chinese TIG welder. It will get the job done, but it may not look the best.
