I like my fluke. Same one you got. The cheaper ones are too sensitive and go off even if they are somewhat near a hot wire. In a box full of wires the fluke can identify which ones are hot.

Once you have one you will find many uses for it. Sometimes it might sit there a month. Other times I use it multiple times a week. Turns 20 minutes of cutting with a grinder into <5 minutes with the plasma cutter.

I'm surprised at all the talk about not having enough air. I see some millwright guys running them with a pancake compressor. My 1.5hp has never struggled. Maybe if it was on a CNC table doing constant cutting. Normal people will never have an issue

It does everything easier and faster than a cutoff wheel. But it doesn't do a lot that you can't do with a cutoff wheel. Mine is dual voltage just like what you are looking at. 120v is nice to be able to use it out somewhere on a regular extension cord. But if you are doing much cutting...

I got a 50A prime weld last December. I love it. It's hard to justify because you can do most of the same stuff with a cutoff wheel. But I don't use a cutoff wheel very much now. I've cut 5/8 with mine. It wasn't super happy about it but it did it. 1/2" is no problem.

Good Lord. Sounds like you have already expressed your concern. Now mind your own business. If you don't want to get hurt by it, then stay on your own property

Sounds like a great idea, if you like a floppy weak wall.

Someone has a little too much time on their hands :)

Why even ask here if you already made up your mind to buy that hot garbage?

Just buy some decent strip lights You can also get surprisingly good lights if you are willing to scrounge for used housings.

If you can't pronounce the name of the brand, I sure wouldn't buy it... You putting Chinese parts on the car? Maybe painting with rattle cans from Walmart? You can get decent lights for reasonable money

Strips still work good at 12'

If you want good light, put a row on each side of the building. Plus a couple in front of the car.

You need more small lights, not one or two big ones. I really only use highbays on 14' and taller ceilings

If it ran that way for years, put the pulley back on and run it for a bunch more years. Probably eat belts a little faster.
