$160 for a 1000 watt pure sine wave inverter is an amazing deal as far as I'm concerned. This is a one day only special today, but inevitably will pop up again.

I've bought a number of Eastwood products including a welder, and they are of generally good quality and Eastwood offers good customer service. They cater primarily to body shops. Their electronics are Chinese made to Eastwood specifications, not the typical Harbor Freight type Chinese junk.
