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? |

I agree with the good ir guns. Not the home depot ones for thirty bucks. If you have enough money, you cant beat miller, and the 140 as suggested kicks ass. If you can't swing the miller bill, then a holbart handler then Lincoln weld pack. Don't do a harbor freight one, I have one I needed for an emergency, it works but not well.
