I detest buying tools twice and i want to do my best possible to make sure i'm not buying a toy welder with the Lincoln name on the side of it. I buy tools to last when they are treated right and i expect the portable MIG welder to be no different. If it is a toy i will pass up the deal, Scratch it from the list and wait fro a better deal that meets my requirements. Or i'll hop the border and buy a welder in Ny State if the prices are bonkers between Canada and the US Take a look at the Hobart Handler while you're at it. I've not used one but there seems to be a large body of happy owners among restoration and motorcycle guys. |
