Many years ago I had some experience with stick and gas welding. Being retired I am always looking for new ways to learn so I picked up one of those “toy” welders as many professional welders attest. After some research on line, utube viewings, and practice that toy welder can put out some pretty impressive welds. If garden art, a weld around the yard or the odd fix on the trailer is your need, this 120 volt welder may be right for you. Wait for a sale, could be the most fun you can get for $300.
