Welders?

i would stay away from the welders at depot and lowes. i bought the lincoln pro mig 180 at home depot, and it was junk. i spoke with a few of the local welding shops and they told me that they were not the same units that you would get from a dealer. he said that they used cheaper internals and would not give the output of standard unit.

I also was told the same by local welding shops and more knowledgeable people...stay away from home depot & lowes models as they said they use cheaper transformers and other internal parts even though they are big brand name models....

I guess it is kind of like Lowes now selling John Deere riding mowers....Did anyone take a close look at the quality of those ....Certainly doesn't look like "standard" John Deere quality to me
