Today I was walking through Masters tool section and I spot the wording on the carton.
Ughhh!!! Pet Hate big time.
An instant gnashing of teeth and tearing of hair- thats why there is not much left!

It is a contradiction in terms , a travesty of welding terminology, I tell you. Heresy I say!
A Gasless Mig Welding kit .
Really Cigweld. I grew up with and trained on Cigweld among other good brands. Talk about a massive let down.
The Cigweld I knew,taught and trained me through some wonderful information sheets that MIG- was Metal Inert Gas. Gasless was another thing again - Flux Core wire.
Now because of ignorance and semantics, the once commonly used and understood term is now a commonly grossly mis used term.
Wether this is to guile unsuspecting newbs into purchasing what they think is a mig, which will do what a mig does, or, woops, just an advertising man's error, I will let you decide.
I really feel let down down by what was once a wonderful Australian company that contributed a lot back to the industry in so many ways.
I could tell you a story about apprentices whom I taught, whom we entered in a national fab/welding completion. The students won a trip to Heron island, welding equipment weld training text books, a write up in a national weld fab magazine and a TIG for the Tafe college. Guess which company that was?
Its a such a big fall for a company I once had a huge respect for.
I am off for a sulk!
