Stud Gun Welders?
Hey guys, i wanted some opinions and feedback on stud gun welders? mainly the Harbor Frieght Stud gun. Is it any good? does anyone have one? how do you like it? how long have you had it? Any problems with it? I just purchased one last week and am still kinda iffy about it just because its from harbor frieght and am wondering if its crap and i should just return it and save up for a better one. What are some good ones/brands for the stud gun? im only lookin to spend aprox 100-300 bucks. heres a link to the gun i bought.http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...ber=3223thanks

u can get a base model "H&S autoshot" for around $200 .... i bought one slightly used off e-bay for $150 and its worked great! i wouldn't trust harbourfrieght .... a stud welder IMO is something you shouldn't cheap out on.... for $200 new its a great deal!

stud guns are one of the greatest things brought into the collision repair industry. It allows you repair panels that don't allow you any access to the inside with out the drilling that was once so popular. You weld on the studs, pull the dent, cut them off and top it off with some body filler. They can also be used when an "oil can" affect is present. You heat the area with the stud gun with no stud and then cool it quickly and the metal will be shocked and shrink back into shape. I hope that this has been helpfull.
