I was at the local HF store today, and in passing asked the manager
about the little 130 amp tig welder. Did he have a lot returns?
Problems with the units etc? He then said. "I can give you this unit at
the last sale price ($179) if you purchase the 2 year extended warranty
with it for a total of $213". Sounded like a good deal, but because I
am not well educated on tig machines, I declined. Has anybody had
experience with this machine? I am just new to o/a gas welding and use
my torch for sculpture projects mostly using 3/16 to 1/4 rod. I'd like
to weld stainless at some point but am not ready to work with
stainless...yet. Also, it has been my experience that buying the best
is always cheaper in the long run. However a sweet deal will certainly
turn my head. What think? Go back and get it?
