"Highly Recommend"
"Great product , easy setup welds just as good as my Lincoln ranger 225. this is my go to welder in my fabrication shop"
-Fabricator from South Carolina
"Good Quality For Every Day Shop Use"
"We bought this cutoff saw when our old Makita bit the dust. This Milwaukee cuts clean, doesn't bog down and the jaws are stout. We use it daily in a truck repair/fabrication shop. Would buy this again."
-Fabricator from Tennessee
"Outstanding Storage For Our Mobile Fabrication Labs!"
"I had been wondering how I would organize the consolidation of two offices and more importantly four fabrication labs. Enter the Packout series as I was standing in line at NT in White Bear and I inquired about them - the employee showed me the bells and whistles and that was it. I have now replaced all of my existing toolboxs/cases with five of these and several other Packout products - hint - you're going to want wheels and things to mount to!"
-Fabricator from Minnesota
"Great Machine For The Price!"
"We bought 2 of these for CJ Welding & Fabrication and we use them daily. We have used them with .45 Flux core, .35 Hardwire and the spool gun. We use most of these processes daily and this machine has held its own well. Other machines in our shop are miller 350s, miller 252s, and engine machines. I will tell you this machine as long as you know what your doing can handle any thickness of materials."
-Fabricator from Texas
"Good Value"
"Great table for the price. Feels plenty strong enough for the application, was easy to assemble, and came with tons of attachments to assist in metal fabrication projects. The side peg board panel also stores extra supplies I use for welding and grinding. I love that it has wheels and is also has solid feet if you would like to use them. The wheels were a necessity for me in my application but I will definitely use the feet for heavier pieces and to prevent rolling."
-Fabricator from North Dakota
"Wilton Cross Slide Drill Press Vice You Won't Be Disappointed"
"We bought this vice for our older drill press. The versatility of this cross slide vice has been a great addition with all of our fabrication and repair needs. All of our employees have all stated 'Why didn't we buy this sooner'"
-Fabricator from New York
"Machine Shop Carts"
"I bought two for the fabrication machine shop. They are heavy duty, smooth rolling, and large enough to allow for production materials to be laid out. Also love the cup holder and space for phones, and tools. Will buy two more soon."
-Fabricator from Wisconsin
"Excellent Addition To My Work Sites"
"I bought this item a few weeks ago to cut down on the number of chargers that needed to be carried to my different remote work locations due to the variety of tools used depending on what I am working on or fabricating for transporting items. This has been a game changer with the batteries and not having too constantly stop and change batteries on a charger and interrupt the workflow."
