i have a little Lincoln 110V fluxcore, and it does the job just fine.
are the welds pretty? no.
are there issues with amperage controls and burn thoughs related to that? yes.
does it do the job? YES.
i'm already done the cab, the doors, front fenders, and inner fenders with the thing, and it has yet to fail me.
now. i'm a teenager. which screams, "cheaper is better". i know, you can't replace quality.
but, just from my experience...they work. it may take more time, and you have to employ different techniques, such as welding spoons, but...
it does the job.
just like our trucks were designed to.
