Man this is a nice little welder.
It's quiet, feeds wire precisely, and blips for filling small holes really well.
I have so far only used it to repair floor pan body metal holes, but it does a fantastic job.
It can weld up 1/4 inch mild steel and can be used with or without gas.
For the $327.99 with NO tax in my state and FREE shipping, it comes with everything for the welder except the gas bottle, including the regulator gauges and gauge to bottle hose.
Hood, gloves, extension cords, are extra, but it does come with a hand held shield.

Damn nice little 110v welder for the money.
Was $299 last week when I bought one.:D

Check out their video on the website.

what gas flow rate are you using? I have an Italian made HF Dual Mig 130 that takes gas but never hooked it up. I think your feed wheel is the same as mine, a square hole drive wheel with 2 different size slots?

Back when I first started my re do of the fish, I bought an Eastwood 175, I couldn't be happier with it, has worked flawlessly for about 9-10? yrs. ! Use it all the time (in spurts) .

The instructions say something like 20 lbs, but my Brother told me that psi is a catch all and when it's calm out 8-10 should do it.
He was right, as I was working inside the vehicle where there was no breeze and it worked great.
He said out in a breeze you might need more, but why waste the gas if it isn't needed.

Yes, 2 slot wire feed wheel (small wire or larger)
 
cool, will give it the gas one day. My wheel is worn out but they sell them smooth and textured for $5 on Ebay and there is a guy who textured his rapping it with a file, says it works great. Weld on!
