Welder good deal or not

I agree about the gas kit, I had a new Hobart 180 220 volt but was hard for me to weld floor pans as it was too hot. I borrowed my friends 115 volt Lincoln which I liked better. I traded my 220 volt even for a smaller Lincoln 115 volt. If I needed to weld anything thick anyway I prefer to stick weld with my portable. The cords are so short you need to be close so the 115 volt is lots more accessable than 220 volt. You will like it but gas kit makes prettier welds with less splatter,Joe
