Weldmark is made by Tweco. Tweco markets the same gun under another Tweco sub brand. They are budget priced compared to the full priced Tweco guns. I use a Weldmark 200 and 250 amp gun all the time for Self shielded fluxcore. I prefer the feel over the Radnor gun. Last time I looked they were still made in Mexico. I assume Bernard is still USA and is high quality, just pricey.
