Default will this work??

Info: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ct...Itemnumber=3395
Used this during 2 different projects (had to literally cut the whole front clip off a 3rd gen camaro, and the last time was about 2 months ago to repair a load of cracked/broken blades and tools at this guy's farm) w/ a combined use of 2 oxygen and 1 acetylene tank.
This is a great tool in the right hand's....Can cut through metal like a hot knife through butter, heat it for bending, and weld it together.
NEW: $299.99
My price: $150

220 VOLT, 130 TIG/90 ARC WELDER INVERTER
This was never used....got it as a present from an uncle, guess he was tired of me coming over and using his. Kinda sucks that I never got it hooked up, It's a great machine for welding projects.
NEW: $259.99
My price: $150

would this be a decent setup to use for making manifolds and other misc ---- Ive been wanting to get a welder and make some crazy ---- for my house, but want to be sure whatever I get will work for manifolds and headers also. A local guy has it, if its good then ill snag it up next week lol.

I just need to know if it will handle what I need it for, manifolds and headers. If it can work with that, then itll work for my other plans.

lol no ----, I meant with thickness, strength of the welds and penetration with certain metals and how thick they are.
