Well my pedal completley stopped working yesterday. I can only get high frequently start and full amperage from it. It started about 3 months ago not shuting off I had to pull the arc away to make it stop. Now it does that and as I described above. I've read through some threads about the new pedal that's USA made and see people have been very pleased with it. I was never very happy with the awkward everlastwelders pedal to begin with. Anyone else had this issue is their a cost affective fix or do I just buy the new one? I have some paying aluminum coming through my door and it needs to work all the time everytime.
