YOu just gotta watch what you buy on somethings from there. I'd say like half of the ---- I buy I gotta return from it breaking. Otherwise I love my HFT's MIG and does what I need it to.

I have a fluxcore wire welder. It works fine for exhaust stuff. If you live near a store they compare prices online and also in the catalogs.

I got mine for $80. . You just have to get the catalog and then compare the prices. The catalog is always cheaper. Even if you have to wait a bit for it to get cheaper.
