A MIG welder is a mighty handy thing to have. You can use it in ways
that you can't imagine until you have one. I've used it to repair
panels, weld panels, build up metal on worn or rusted parts, build
scafolding and frameworks for workbenchs, repair broken hinges on doors
and gates. The list goes on.
A small acetylene torch or MAP gas outfit is also extremely handy for
loosening stuck metal parts are reshaping metal panels.
