The stock that came with the rebel 215 would get excessively hot and have clogged nozzles. Yet the rebel never timed out or got hot. I got this gun to replace the stock gun and it has made a huge difference. Does not get too hot, different nozzle is easy to clear and does not clog as easily, and lasts much longer. A much better match to the machine. I weld 1/4" down to 18ga mild steel, with an occasional 5/16 or 3/8.
