Flea market or ebay for an old USA made Lincoln or Alemite is probably the cheapest and best option to save $$
The head on Macnaught pistol grip looks identical to Lincoln or OTC, I'd bet they all come from the same place in India, I know the Lincoln and OTC does. Hose is German, rest is India.
Its made in Australia. Looks the same does not mean it is.
I'm sure it is made in Australia, and most likely has better internals, but that doesn't mean a head cast in India isn't used as one of the parts to make it. They all sure look like they come from the same mold, right down to the curvature of the handle. Either that or someone made an almost exact copy of someone else's product, and since they are both legitimate well established companies, you would think someone would be sued.
That's like some expensive made in USA tools are made from Chinese steel. Sometimes it's just a matter of how much work has to be done to it here to stamp made in USA on it.
