Do you think he is trying to tell me something? He picked this up saying he thought I could use it when working on the cars. I never look a gift horse in the mouth. This thing is way cool. He got it at Harbor Freight. I can hardly wait to try it out.

Sweet!

When I had to pull a dent on my 914, I bought a MOE clamp that grabs onto a welded seem. The harder you pull, the harder it clamps. Very cool. I love the welder. nice clean factory looking welds!

nice!!!

perfect for that 928

Everyone should have an ex father in-law like yours.

He is pretty cool, I think he likes me. He also chipped in to get my wire feed welder too. The guy is a retired sheetmatal worker. He did the shroud for my radiator and the stainless steel around my stove in my kitchen. I guess life isnt all bad.

So....the daughter? Was she like a snot or sumthin?

No, she was actually really great. I was working all the time and we just grew apart. We are still friends and she is still very nice looking.

Sounds like you are the son he doesn't have.

I think it's great that you still get along with your ex, life is just way too short for a lot of angst.

That's a cool toy. I'll be interested in seeing how it works out for you. Pictures, please!!!

How much does it weigh?

-Rusty

It's pretty heavy- there's a transformer in there!

Clamp it, flick the lever to the side and Zap- all done!

Takes a light touch to keep from burning through.

Talked my model shop at work into buying one. I took it home to use on the car a coupla times...

It looks very cool. Is there significant risk of warpage when using it?

-Rusty

Warpage isn't a big problem with a spot welder.
Getting the weld just right can be challenging. Too much and the metal squeezes out, too little and it doesn't stick together.
There are three different parameters that go into a good spot weld - Power, Time, and Clamping force. Gotta balance them all.
