Default Anyone buy the Harbor Freight TIG? Any success?

I went to harbor freight to get that $250 dollar tig welder. Well, i got there and that thing is TINY. I mean its like 6x6x12 or so..

Anyone actually buy one of these things and did it work correctly??? No one could tell me what actually came with the welder or what i needed to buy so i just left and figured i could order it online.

Here is the welder im talking about.

Anyone buy and use one??? Any tips or info. I know there is one guy on here who bought it and used it, anyone else???

An exhausting one page into this forum:

Everything you need to know.
Search before you make a thread please. It makes this forum very cluttered if you don't.

I did search. I did read that.

I want to know if anyone ELSE had experience with the welder. This guy bought it, used it twice and sold it.
I was checking for any other users is all. Thanks mod police.

He bought it, used it a bunch, other people bought it, used it a bunch, and posted about it. Most of your questions were answered in the thread.
1. Plenty of people bought it, and it worked fine.
2. It comes with a TIG torch, arc torch, some shitty cups/collets, a ground clamp, a gas hose, maybe one tungsten, and NO PLUG on it. So, be prepared. I'd have opened the box at the store and looked at it all. They never cared when I did that.

When mine arrives, I'll give you a full rundown. It'll be here on the 30th.
