That is all "consumer" stuff. You'll pay more for the real thing at a
welding store, but after you get past stickershock you will be glad you did. You will probably be welding for many years, and your welding will be considerably better with a good machine. I have a little Lincoln SP-125 that looks just like the Weldpack units but it is a considerably better machine. I've used it on many autobody jobs -- rust work. For a few bux more you can get a 220-volt MIG if you want to weld up to 5/16" thick stuff and do it well. When I toured a professional auto restorer's shop I noted one of these little machines at every workstation. Those guys were magicians with metal. Lincoln, Miller, Hobart and probably others make good machines. Hobart is really Miller now.

I'm not looking for an extremely "serious" welder. I live in an apartment &
I cannot afford my own shop at the moment . I am pretty much limited to115V. Of those 3, which do you think is the best deal? -Mike -- A happy kid behind the wheel of a 98 Mustang GT Cold air intake FRPP 3.73 gears Steeda Tri-Ax Shifter Flowmaster 40 Series mufflers (self-installed woohoo) Hi-speed fan switch 255/60R-15 rear tires Subframe connectors "Don Foreman" wrote in message ...

Or 110 volt... whichever it is. I think I said 115V last time.
