Snap-On Mig Welder, good deal?
 

I found an older Snap-on mig for sale locally, it's a 140 amp, 120 volt continuous duty cyle wire feed with regulator and gauges, just not a tank. Has .030" tip and wire but can run .023"-.045".

The guy is asking $750 for it, which seems good to me, since new snap on 140AMP welders are like $2500+ but I really don't know a whole lot about welders yet, so I thought I would ask.

Any help would be great, thanks.

I have the 260 and its a really nice machine.The 140 IMO is just too small.

750 for a used 140amp mig?
ouch

I have the Lincoln 135 mig and I paid $489 shipped with a cart and a cover. $750 for a used mig that is only 140 amp capable is excessive IMO even if it does have a SnapOn label.

The Snapon is just a whatever brand relabeld and marked up 50%.Just get a Lincon etc new for that price.

miller makes the snapon welder. Go buy a miller, the best welder on the market. For 750 you can find a good used stick/tig machine.

---- snap on! using their tools angers me... most of the hand tools at work are snap on and they are so frustrating to use.

as for 700+ for a used welder ---- that.... but a miller/hobart or even a lincon brand new and spend the money you saved on a gas tank

I wouldn't. Go buy a 220volt for that price!

your just paying for the name most of snapons tools are made by other people and relabled.
