Welder good deal or not

Sounds like that's a flux core only machine. (Says optional conversion kit avail). Flux core has its purposes around the farm, but not suitable for bodywork or more precision work.

The Thermal Arc 3in1 welder line are the best thing since sliced bread. If you ever want to learn how to TIG weld mild steel or stainless, you only have to buy the TIG torch kit.

I don't trust that ATD welder...I suspect its a rebranded offshore, not that offshore is always bad.
