will be used for intercooler piping and exhaust that it, so dont want to spend much money but will this do the job any info is appreciated thanks

 

Sure it will work until you realize you have boost leaks and exhaust leaks all over the place. This all depends on your skill level though.

If you buy it you will end up wanting to beat it to death with a sledgehammer, take pics of the carnage and post them on here.


I say buy it

 

i would not bother. most everyone that has ever started with mig and no gas wants gas later. at least get one that can be upgraded to gas. if that is there, i missed it.

and its used (reconditioned) right?

 

haha ok i'm def. buying it then hahha

 

yeah i'm buy a gas lincoln then thanks guys

 

I'm interested to see how one of these things work compared to my lincoln 175 pro. What's the return policy at HF?

 

bump....
what else would you guys recommend for a cheap/beginner welder used mainly for exhaust and ic piping???

thanks

 

Policy really depends on the guy at the counter, the store itself, and the fact the manager has absolute power. I know a guy who's a store manager at one...HF is now my favorite store, if you catch my drift

I'd get this if I had a 220 welder and occationally had to weld junk together over at 'the old barn' for no reason besides fun. In other words, $109 better saved for a better MIG.

 

i wouldnt buy a welder from hf.

 

get a lincoln or miller with gas like a sp-125 / 135 youll thank me later
