The price was decent, came with a cart and helmet. I had to buy a gas bottle elsewhere.

I have only used it for sheet metal for body repair. It seems to work well for that. I bought a tank of gas locally. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 403 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 403 | EW Welder is a 220 v. 175 mig unit.
I will be doing a little review when I get it up and running for everyone to decide for or no their own. It will be about 4 weeks as I am still finishing ua another project right now.

Will weld up some other stuff on the heaver side for a evulation on the heaver metal. The price was a great deal on the welder with shipping out to Calif. just a little over $500.00. I am very pleased so far with it will report more later.
