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 have a Hobart Handler 125 with a gas conversion and it works very well. Don't waste your time using a flux core welder/wire if you don't weld outside - it's a major PIA. In addtion, I have a medium size bottle.
Have fun,
Dragan
PS: Hobart is made in the USA and has a very good warranty (5/3/1 years).
