This is because so many welders express such passion for the brand. Recently, a 16 year veteran of the welding trade, described Lincoln as the Harley Davidson of welding. But can it really be that simple? Can we boil down all the dramatic pledges of allegiance to one manufacturer or the other to whatever works, works? It’s certainly worth a closer look, so join me for a quick investigation into these two titans of the welding equipment trade. One of the more common threads, however, and perhaps a telling sentiment in this long running debate can be summed up as: it’s a welder, as long as it works, it’s good enough for me. They cite everything from the highly technical specifics of how one manufacturer’s particular machine out-performs the others for certain applications, to extremely subjective reasoning along the lines of: “I just like color of the machine, and the way the logo looks…” Read the forums to see what people are saying and you’ll find passionate support for both sides. Just as with those “classic marketing battles,” everyone has an opinion on who’s the best, and why. It’s like the Coke versus Pepsi or Miller (no relation) versus Budweiser of the welding equipment world. “No way, Miller makes the best quality welders, with the best prices, I never use anything else.” “I love Lincoln, they make the best welding machines I ever used!” And so the age old debate over who in fact makes the best welding machines rages on in perpetuity.
