GBGreat products, however issue with backlog I love Eastwood products, they are excellent, and the discussions they provide on their site help immensely. However, I decided to read a couple of the negative reviews. I have not ordered backlogged items, so I cannot write to that, but was quite surprised Eastwood charged for the product up front. I buy much online and have not come across that practice before. I also so a review from a guy who was charged up front, then his order was held up because they forgot to charge tax. That was Eastwood's fault and they should have eaten the tax. I will be sure to not purchase any backlogged item.

GBMr G says, It's a buy! Completed Mr. G's welding class in Hackensack, then started looking for a welder... not too big, not a toy, but just right. Got the Eastwood 180, does MIG gas/no-gas and includes a spooler for aluminum, is also 120/240 for maximum flexibility. Shipped in 1 day! So far I love it. Lots to learn but I don't think I'll out grow this.

GBOrder on backlog, but I had to pay then. I just started restoring antique electric fans. It was recommended by other collectors and restorers that I coat the polished brass blades and the re-finished bodies with Eastwood Diamond Clear Gloss Aerosol. I was not able to find it locally, so I ordered it on the Eastwood website. Unfortunately, the order is on backlog for another 6 weeks. I was also asked to pay for it then. Other companies charge when the orders ship.

GBCancelled My Order Ordered a Yost Model 436608 97" x 4" Cutting Guide (SKU: 56598). Item was on backorder and they said I would get a notification when it shipped (not IF it shipped). A few days later I was notified that the item was cancelled and was refunded. Based on other reviews here I see I'm not the only one this has happened to, either. I gave them two stars only because I do understand "things happen". Also, like other have reported here: I am getting almost daily emails asking to review them. So...here they go!
