Hello all,
I have a question about this arc welder.
1. Is it a ok machine
2. Is it worth $80.00
It appears to be in very good condition it is an A/C model only. I am going to look at it at 9:30 so input fast would be great.
Any help would be appreciated.
Mike

Re: Hello All

Ok, so to be more specific i am definitely going to try and fix my truck rocker panels and some other problem spots. Maybe do some trailer fixing and upgrading. Then after that sky's the limit. I'm going to be retired in 8 years so maybe, who knows where I will go from there. Maybe go take some weld...
