Call me crazy, but now that my first 914 is pretty much done, I am contemplating doing another one, maybe a six. With retirement looming, I want to (have to) do more of the work myself. Two questions to the group about tools:
1. what kind of impact wrench would you recommend, and 2. what kind of welder would you recommend? I did some gas welding 30 years ago, and need to relearn a lot, but before buying anything I want to hear what others have used and liked. How about it? Good, bad and ugly experiences? |

You can find used Blue Point impacts pretty cheap and IMHO they are just as good as the Strap-On ones. And much better than a Crapsman or anything else. Second chopice would be a NEW Ingersoll
Welder = Miller 140 all the way. Already set up for gas. Get a spool of .025 wire and go at it. I have done everythign form sheet metal up to 1/4 in a single pass with this machine. There is NO reason for a home hobbyist to buy anything larger |
