Thread: Need help picking a 3in1 welder!

My small bit of input would be to go for the machines that offer the highest output once you've reached a point of being torn for choice.
You just never know when you'll want or need that extra power, it's just darn handy to have in case the day ever comes.

I have the synergic Token Tools unit and like it. I have to admit though, I tend to use the Lincoln app and run it on my settings.

Personally I found Pete very approachable about different weld issues I was having material and setting wise and getting used to the unit.

As for the warranty, you can choose the warranty you want at time of purchase, for peace of mind and a minor difference I would prefer to know I have backup in 5 years ,

Another mob you can look at is Everlast, they have a good warrantee. There after sales service seems ok so far but Ive only had mine since late last year, the machine itself hasnt missed a beat yet(210ext)

Synergic operation is often used as a sales feature, but to be honest, I'm not convinced as to how much of an advantage it really is.
I have used fronius and kemppi machines that were synergic and both brands are somewhat considered the holy grail by many. Neither machine achieved perfect settings without fine tuning by the operator, with the kemppi being noticeably worse in this area - a small increase of the settings control would often bring about a substantial voltage increase with hardly any wire increase etc and the synergic settings were nearly useless at the lower end of the range. Yes, the correct program was set. The end result being that the operator still needed to know what to look and listen for and how to correct it, leading me to ponder why the premium was paid for synergic operation.
Synergic operation is not all bad, but i wouldn't use it as too much of a reason to discount one welder and pick another.
