Is the 12-amp model sufficient for home demo (mainly studs, nails, some piping, etc.)? Is it worth moving up to the 15-amp model (6538-21)?

If you're just using it for the one big job, it should work pretty good. I use mine for the occasional job, and it always fills the bill.

Just about all professional skill trades technicians use a Milwaukee Sawzall. I am confident either will do home demo.

We have been doing extensive remodeling on our home, removing studs, etc and it has never failed. Plenty of power.

I've used it to take out a small bath, including studs with nails, and to cut pipe with a metal cutting blade. Also used it to cut 6x6's for landscaping. It has plenty of power for these jobs with no over heating. A professional that uses it all the time might opt for the higher amps for less heat buildup with constant use.

The specs says "1240 Watt 120V electric motor" which means you got to have a minimum generator of 1240W so find a 1500W should work or just plug in a regular outlet. I plugged my in a typical outlet.

I believe a 15 amp outlet is recommended. I think it is actually around 12 though.

I'm certainly not an expert and I've only owned the 12" models. I'd say they're plenty loud for me. Just need to find an amplifier that will give them enough power (they occupy a weird spot that's too high for most home amps, but don't need as much power as most pro amps put out). One piece of advise I was given though is that if you listen to a lot of rap or hip hop with heavy bass you'll want bigger speakers for more noise, but if you listen to rock or dance music with faster bass then you want smaller speakers because they respond quicker.

I just looked at the bottom of my Bodum and it says 700 W. This sounds about right and is quite a few watts, but I have never had any problems with overload, of course I use it at work and they have capacity for this amount. If use on 120 V house current, will draw almost 6 amps. My Bodum works well. Hope this answers your questions...

Well, not that much of an expert but the 1500 is the AMP, Goldsource has various models and the number shows the max AMP that the transformer can take ...Fuse must be pretty standards... Hope this helps

I own this machine and running on 120v it will put out 127amps, easily will weld 1/8" steel. I use a 3/32" tungsten and 3/32" rod. Puts out a nice arc. I also own a syncrowave which IMO puts out a little nicer arc. One of the things this machine has going for it is it only draws about 30amps at 220V so you can run it off a dryer outlet with the right plug, no need for a 50 amp circuit to run it wide open throttle. Mine also runs fine off a 20amp 120v circuit without tripping the breaker. Just hopes it lives thru the 5yr warranty, the circuit boards have a lot of chinese components on them. Happy so far.

Friend Gerard, the caliber is No. 12 but this extension is heavy duty, I have one and it is excellent but a 60w solar panel perfectly funsiona lower gauge (16 or 18) because the solar panel (60w) in the best environmental conditions never exceed 4 amps. So, I recommend using automotive cable (especially for use with DC current)I hope I have helped!

I had no probs with this one. It can handle 1500wts since it is 1.5 farads. It is handling my 1500 amp. Make sure you use high guage ground cable and bolt it down to metal or it will fry unlike most users who do forget that part(8guage at least).

Are their better tools out their yes, it always goes back to the user I have been using this wire stripper I with wire gauge from 16 - 24 it does a great job just practice and you will not be disappointed it does a great job yes you can spend crazy dollars , just spend time practiceing,,,,,,,if this is being used for the working around the home from repairing tube/ solid state electronics to home wiring you will not go wrong. Just practice and you will-do great

15 amp should be used with 14 gage wire and a 15 amp breaker. 20 amp should be used with 12 gage wire and a 20 amp breaker. I would guess you have 15 amp but not sure without seeing it.

The ep4000 is more powerful than xls 1500. I own both amps, neither specifications are misleading you just hace to understand how amps work.

Hello Nicolas, the main thing is to check the technical specification, in my case it has been of great help in your case which is use it to snail (structure), fences and gate, stairs must be a good welder and require the maximum of the Pro-Series MMIG125 125 Amp..., remember that it is made for certain thickness min. and Max, I hope you serve this comment, greetings.

I checked with another supplier(Amazon has the best price for sure). They list amps for a 1300 at 2.6 amps, a 1600 at 4.5 amps and a 1650 at 2.4 amps. Confusing becasue at higher capacity fan shoud draw more amps. There was no listing for the 1500. I have these 1500 fans and they work well. Whatever amps they draw is worth the savings in cooling cost inside the house. Not really a direct answer, but hope it helps. Advise to check the Ventmatic web site in another answer is good advise.

Resistance of metal drops as temperature drops, so that is a good thing in your case. All this means is that you will have less voltage drop over a given run of wire. So essentially you could have a longer run of wire at a -15 then you could at 100. The thing that you need to worry about is brittleness, but that shouldn't be a problem is the wire isn't moving.

Nope. You can use it as a stand-alone amp modeler if you want. However, if the person you want to give it to wants to use it with Pro Tools, they either need to already have their own license to the software or buy it...which is like $700. But you absolutely DO NOT need Pro Tools to get amp models out of it. However, whomever you're giving it to DOES need a power amp if they plan on using it in a live rig.

I own one and would not recommend anything less than 14 gauge. Of course it depends on how far you have to run for supply.
