Mig Welders

[Tape]

I've been thinking about getting a mig welder, I've been looking at Lincoln 180, Hobart Handler 190 and Harbor freight TITANIUM MIG 170. This will be just for around the house and the vehicle's exhaust etc. I already bought a 80 cu ft C02 gas cylinder I found off of Facebook for $75.


For those of you that have one, can you give me some advice on what you have and what you bought or wish you would've bought.

I've had a similar Lincoln machine for about 8 years and it still works like a champ and hasn't needed much. Good stuff. I've never used a Hobart but, I use a Hobart helmet everyday and I love it... [emoji2369]. I'm not scared of trying HF stuff, their return policy is always pretty loose. Lol
That's a good bit cheaper, might be worth it.
I use a Millermatic 211 pretty often. It's a nice little machine but not in the same price range... lol
*Also check out Forney. Heard decent things about their multiprocess machines but, their still kinda new.

I found this for $300, advertised as new never used. Just the welder is about $800 new.
I think it's a woman I'm not sure because we're contacting via messenger and they said they don't have a outlet to plug it in.

It's a 6 Hour Drive round-trip but it's cheaper then shipping it and I love driving

I guess nobody welds, yeah it does take a bit of talent. Thanks Crawdad

Hey, that's the same design I have... lol
Looks like a good enough deal for a road trip to me!
Some of the best deals come from pissed off wives / x wives... lol

If your mig welder works all you need is a spool gun ($100-$300) and a spool of wire.
