I have a cheap Harbor Freight flux core welder. I highly DO NOT recommend it. I have welded enough that I can make due with this one, but save yourself a lot of time & aggravation by getting a gas shield MIG.
The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." - John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873)
