I'm wondering what type of welding tools were used with this reel? 15amps is not alot of juice for most big-boy shops.
I have 2 of those 25$ barco reels from homedepot and they have worked great for me... 300 is too much for a NON-US made garage toy... Snap-on can pull the over-priced (IMO) tools because they are US made (not-so-much anymore i hear though) and people here like to buy something that is made by their fellow americans...

"It's just my login name at the time. Sorry about that. We make everything in Mexico. Proprietary cord is manufactured in China and that is it. All assembly is overseen by us 327 miles to the south of us. Thanks for the interest."
Hello Swimbody,
A couple of things here. I think you have a neat, kool and useful product. An I would like to have one. Can I afford the $300.00 yep. Will I buy one, no sir. And here is why.
1) Your hiding behind a screen name. If your not proud enough to say, Hello I'm Joe Six Pack with Roboreel, makes me wonder.
2) You just seem like another hired gun pushing this today and something else for someone else tomorrow. That's great, but sometimes passion for the product will sell more than being pushy.
3) Your company paid labor outside the USA to manufacture this. But want USA labor dollars to buy it.
I know this seems to be the American way, but sooner than later when all manufacturing is out sourced. There will be NO labor dollars to spend on the imported products!

I don't have an issue with it being manufactured out of the country. Its expensive to have items made here in the US and it can negatively affect the price of the item and kill it before it can get off the ground.
I look for quality over COO.
With that said this product as well as the others are out of my price range for now
