I bought one of these from the same seller and it works pretty good for charge piping and such, they sell the cheaper non gas ones as well which also work good if you're on a budget.

Well just as an option for all you guys out of the country, I have a harbor frieght in my city and if you want to pay for shipping (which I have no idea what it would cost) from Reno, NV to your house I'll go pick one up and ship it to you. I have this welder, It does an awsome job on pretty much anything I've used it for.

We have Princess Auto that is kinda the same thing.The stores are like the size of a big chain supermarket and have basically every tool known to mankind there.Unfortunetly they dont have cheap welders they only carry Deca and Lincon which neither are cheap.I need a cheap tig welder soon after some lessons this winter and I was looking at Harbour Freight.You should def move here and open one.I think this Princess Auto should be a sponsor for my car as it is a real HMT style of store where you can wander around and improvise damm near anything.
