5 Stars
I love this Mig welder. Great Price.
This is a great Mig welder for small home projects or even for a shop. I've been a welder for 12 years now and am very happy with this welder. I rebuild cars for as a hobby on my off season and I've welded 22 gauge sheet metal and 3/8" steel with this welder. The settings that the chart recommends are spot on. Like I said, I love it and would definitely recommend this to anybody.
