Photo comparing the CK 200 to the stock Everlast torch.
Dinse Connector: The rubber cover had to be slightly trimmed for the dinse to fully seat into the Everlast machine (1/4" or so), because of the lip on the machine where the connector plugs in. Took about 2 mins, with a razor blade. This is a Miller style connector. According to Jim, a Lincoln style will plug in without any mods. No big deal either way.
