Welders
My opinion, find a good used one if you don't have the money for a new one. Stay with name brands and those that are SUPPORTED LOCALLY by your welding store if you have one and NOT the "big box" stores like Lowes
If you are "talking" MIG, then get one that can take a gas kit if it does not have one. I don't do much "delicate" (body) work, so what I use almost exclusively for gas is straight plain old CO2. It is incredibly less expensive than Argon/CO2 mix (CO2 is a liquid) and lasts a long time.
I have a little Lincoln 140? 120V that I bought "like new" used, and later bought a Lincoln 180. It has pretty much welded all I have needed to weld
When I built the junk Cletrac (Toyotrac? Cleota?) the 180 is what was used
Junk Cletrac, no model, engine swap candidate What model?
Had to rebuild the clutch linkage
Erecting the two post hoist
