I bought a Lincoln 115 V weld pack from the depot today...Was in a rush to try it out..and the dam spool unraveled on me..ha ha ha ..Should have read the directions a little better. Did some practice on a step side support..Works pretty good, I think I can get by with this. 250.00 plus the solar helmet.100.00,gloves..30? Not a bad day, had to buy the boss a ceiling fan to keep her happy..so over all its been a good day.. (for me)
