I'm looking for a big stick welder, and the Clarke brand is about half
the price of Miller and Lincoln...and I'm sure there's a reason for
that, I just don't know what it is. I'm not familiar with Clarke
welders, anyone...?

Shoot, Ronnie, why buy new? In the Seattle area you can find tons of
big stick welders cheap. Drive over, pick one up, drive back. Here are
some places you can try:

1. maybe Ernie's school still has some left to surplus
2. http://classifieds.nwsource.com/clas...9&class=452&lg
