I have yet to learn to weld. I would like to purchase (and learn on) a welder that will be most useful to the average "car guy"...welding sheetmetal, repairing broken mounts, adding brackets to rollbars/frames, etc. Nothing exotic, just basic repairs for the average mechanic. My shop has 220v if that matters. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

95% of all my teener welds are done with a Lincon Weld Pack 100 from Lowes. I run .035 flux core wire and can weld up to 1/4" mild steel single pass. Its kinda touchy on sheet metal but you can always turn it down. It runs for a little over $300.00. I had mine for 6 years and run the crap out of it. The key is to run a 30 amp chord no longher than 50 ft. on a strong outlet like 30 amps. It is made to run on 15 amps I think. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
