Tool Review
ESAB Rogue ET 200iP Pro
Reviewed by Michael Robinson, technician/welder
at MAS in Lansing, Michigan.
Q: How did the tool function as far as saving you time?
A: The welder is very quick to set up and saves previous setup
settings to get you back to welding quickly. It's also a dual
voltage machine, meaning no matter where you go you can
complete the job, saving time not looking for a certain plugin
to connect to. It can also run off a generator.
Q: How has using this tool impacted your shop's profitability?
A: The tool's time savings on setup and ease of portability
allows you to go out in the field quickly and have no worries
about running back and forth for other equipment. It saves
many man hours of wasted time. Whether you need to TIG
weld stainless pipe or do some stick welding, this machine
has it covered with plenty of power.
Q: How easy was it to use?
A: The welder is very easy to use if you have welded before.
Setting up is super simple and adjusting the settings to what is
needed is also very simple.
Q: Did it come with any accessories?
A: It came well packaged and with just about everything
you need to start welding. It came with a very nice flexible
TIG torch and some tungsten and cups to get you started.
You will need a bottle of Argon, but the welder does come
with a nice regulator and hose for the gas, so that's one
less thing to worry about buying separately. The TIG torch
has the controls on it, so the foot control is not necessary
to start welding.The best part is that any accessory
you may want is easy to
find, although you won't
need many as this is a
well-equipped
bundle.
As far as the
stick welding goes,
it came with a nice
stinger that is really
hard to beat for an
included accessory. All the
accessories are rated to the maximum
output of this welder at 200A.
It also came with the 120V/230V power adapter which is a
nice addition to have when 230V may not be available.
Q: What features did you like?
A: The adjustments and its digital easy-to-read display were
among my favorites. One thing that really puts this above
other similar units is its compact size. It's very easy to transport.
It also has a quality fan for keeping it cool. I have never
tripped the over temp safety on the unit thanks to the fan.
When you weld with this machine you can tell it's a quality
machine. Arc is very stable. High frequency start is also a
huge benefit, and it offers live TIG start.
This product was given to the reviewer free of charge by the manufacturer.
No air, hand pumps, or spillage
The Macnaught BOPHV High Viscosity Battery Oil
Pump is designed for dispensing oil from five, 16, and 55
gallon containers. It's good to 140W/ISO680 oils delivering
40 gallons on a full charge at 1.5+ gpm. There is no need to
use cumbersome and difficult-to-dispense hand pumps or
transfer oils manually to smaller containers, the company
says. Simple place the BOPHV into the container, flick the
powerhead on, and engage the on-demand flow nozzle.
