Default This TIG worth 50 bucks?


"Wards Powr-Kraft High Frequency TIG Arc Stabilizer Model TTZ-5969A With Cable & Gauges"
Thats all I know about it.
I guess I'll need stick's and gas? I'm a noob at TIG's. But I allready have a MIG. But the price is right!
Does it looks like every thing I would need is there? What else might I have to buy?

no no no man that's an add-on high frequency box for one of the ancient 500lb+ transformer rectifier machines. not a tig welder itself.

I did wonder why it looked so small.
Thanks for the heads up

Tig welder=1500+ dollar investment for a real unit that will last

grab it and all you have to do is hook it up to any arc welder. it just uses the welder or "buzz box" for the power and it runs through that unit. you could have a tig for like 150

all that does is start the arc by jumping high frequency electricity over about a 1/2'' gap, the power comes from your power source/stick welder. technically you can just hook a tig torch up to any stick welder and it will work, you have to somehow hook up gas though
