HF Start, Plasma, and Stick. I've use all 3 function and I've been very pleased!

I actually only see 1 of the Smiley Units for sale and it's the 160amp version. Good price too! Basically what I paid for 4month ago(120amp) is the price for the 160amp now!

I own the thermal arc tig. It welds better then i thought it would i can lay a beed pretty good with it. My only con is that it isn't adjustable you have to guess if the amps are right.

I'm just looking to do some manifolds, exhaust work, mild parts fabbing with one. Sick of the MIG-100 flux of awesomeness.
I really, really hate not having the extra money for a better & bigger welder, but I can't help it. I'm turning a GF into an F & this is pretty much the one shot at getting something with gas for the indefinate future...
Can I get by with the smaller 120amp smiley tig?
