a lot of people have had success with this mig. if you looking for a budget mig, for $200 you cant go wrong. for a few extra buck get the replacement plan
the coupon is for itc members. it will work without the car. if they ask you for the card lie and say you just signed up the day before and its not active/you dont have it on you.

yeah, it was just a really cheap welder. I have been welding for about 3 years I just had to sell my Hobart welder about 5 months ago. I am realdy to get back into it but I don't have $500-$600 for another Hobart.
