This is probably going to stay on my wish list for a good long time,

Nearly all the projects that I have in mind at the momet involve
welding .03" to .06" aluminum sheet to itself and to 1/8" or 3/16"
bosses, so it looks like this thing is heavy-duty enough.

So, is it a good buy?

I think it's a "custom" Longevity unit.

Thanks for the video link -- it's very helpful.

And in that video, he really seems to like the AHP more. I plan on
buying one of those very soon (hopefully before the end of this year).
for an extra $50, I think you get a lot more. AND, you can buy it from
Amazon, which gives you another layer of protection.

Yes, he really sold me on the AHP.

I've got to decide if I can really justify the $800 to myself, because I
don't need a welder very often -- but when I do I really need it, and
there's some stuff that I just can't make at the moment because I don't
have one.
