| Oh hell yes! As much as I've heard about habor freight I've never looked into it until just now! I found the mig section and I've never seen such great prices on brand new items before that's awesome! | |

| I finally got one! I went out and bought a Clarke 220 volt mig welder! It came setup to run gasless but I got the tank and everything now... I became really good at fluxcore in a short amount of time but now that I have solid wire it all good now!! I'm so happy! One of the things I don't like about it is it's a step voltage welder which makes it harder to fine tune the voltage but I've got a good handle on it! And my torches which where cheap as hell! | |

| I know man I love this thing!!! It's amazing the more I use it though the funnier I think it is! Because I'm using .030 solid wire and 75/25 Co2 and Argon and when I'm running fluxcore I have to use it in reverse polarity and it sounds like a normal mig you know sparky and poppy and whatnot but when I'm running solid wire and normal polarity it sounds like a tig welder there is like no sparks and no spatter and no popping sound it's just a solid buzz and is extremely freaking bright even for a mig I love this thing my welds are awesome looking they are nice fat and stacked!!! I love this welder I'll get pics of my welds up as soon as I get 100% happy with the setup!
Almost forgot another little problem that is of no real concern just one of those little bummers is that my welder only has a 15% Duty cycle but I'll rarely ever drop a continous bead for a minute and a half!! | |
