the smiley tools welder welds just fine. only thing \that makes the miller 180sd any better than it is its a bit easier to control the heat with a pedal rather than trying to master hand speed heat control. that and the miller welds aluminum. other than that, they are no different, except the fact the smiley tools tig draws way less amps and uses way less power.
if i wasnt looking to weld aluminum, i woulda kept the smiley tools. oh btw.
nchatch, i found the ground strap. you want it??
