Default About to get a welder - Mig Pak 15?

Hey guys,

I dont know much about welding...my experience consists of assiting a buddy of mine while he welded the body of my beater with me. I need to do some more welding on it and decided I should get a welder.

I can get my hands on a MigPak15 for 599$ CAD ~ 425$ USD, it doesnt come with the sheilding gas kit tho. As far as I know its gas ready but doesnt have the regulators.

I like this welder as it has a good current output (230V in) and an ok duty cycle for the price. Plus its the same my buddy used last year and he recommended it as a good starter.

Welder Link

I'd love some feedback as I dont have the time to do the reaserch since the sale is ending soon.


Hmm, this one sounds interesting too...a fair bit cheaper than the lincoln

that is a nice welder it just kinda stinks that you have to get the regulator kit seprate, you might want to look into the hobart handelar 175 or 180 i have the 175 and i love it has the power to do small and big jobs
