Got a very kick-a$$ gift from the in-laws tonight for Christmas. It's a little bitty 120v unit, but I'm sure this will help keep any minor welding issues from holding me up anymore.

Hell yes, Marcus... get to work!

Make sure to run gas!

That looks like a gas/gasless unit, Ive welded with them before and going the gasless route procudes some poopy welds, but its possible it was just my skill (or lack thereof)

I agree. 120v welder's are very finike. Light rust, wrong settings, lack of gas and yes even inexperience have all played roles in me running some pretty crappy welds with a 120v mig. It will take some practice and I will check to see if I can run gas.

But it's a cool toy... I mean tool to have around the garage.

I'm hoping for a auto-darkening helmet for xmas too!

looks like a flux core welder, not sure if it will run gas. either way kick ass gift

Awsome, your going to love it!! I found that welding is like an addiction, soon enough you'll want a TIG.

I found that it's a good stress releiver...you concentrate so hard trying to weld, you don't think about work, kids, wife etc!
