Welders like this are great because they can do some things but more importantly you can decide if you like welding. Because if you don't you're only out about $100, which is way better then dropping $500-1000 on a decent miller mig. I've been in many a man's garage where he has thousands in tools that never get used.
So in this case, you spend about $100, realize you really like welding, quickly find the limits of the $100 machine and buy a better one, only using this one for mufflers, fences, and the occasional lawn mower repair. |
