Re:Is this a good mani welder???
 

will it hold?

it seems to have the power but will it hold
im HMT to the bone, even my tools are ghetto :P

Re:Is this a good mani welder???
 

arc welder ghetto magic.

hell those things even make shitty tack welds.

Re:Is this a good mani welder???
 

my dad's friend who makes iron gates uses a stick welder and I've walked on those gates when they were installed and I didn't die or break the gates. so if you know what you're doing you can make good welds.

Re:Is this a good mani welder???
 

They are made fo welding big ---- not little car parts. People welding on bridges use arc welders.

Re:Is this a good mani welder???
 

so basically im getting a new welder tomorrow :-*

Re:Is this a good mani welder???
 

If you want to waste your money ::) you'll regret it man, you can get an OK mig for 300.

Re:Is this a good mani welder???
 

Dont waste your money

Re:Is this a good mani welder???
 

ya dood, don't do stick. even if you get a low amp mig and just pre heat the metal and do multiple passes it will be a hell of a lot better than an arc. and if you're like me and don't have a garage I weld in the basement you might enjoy the argon gasses that a mig uses.

Re:Is this a good mani welder???
 

Go for the Mig if you can afford it. And not the flux kind! It's gotta be gas!

You'll be glad you did!
