Just received a new front-panel for the Powermaster 256 I received -- it had been damaged during shipment. Everlast sent it DHL from their warehouse so I'd get it time for my days off... The part and shipping were FREE~

I have never welded in my life. However, I have been practicing with some 7018 stick and I can make a half-way decent bead after only a day or two. If you've never welded, don't be afraid of getting one of these units and experimenting with it. They seem like they are pretty bullet-proof! The plasma cutter really works well, too!

Thanks, guys, for standing behind your product and for making this good equipment to us at a reasonable price!
