On the subject of Harbor Freight (thanks for the referral to them!)
could someone tell me if the MIG Welders listed below will suffice for
the "flat" sheet metal panel welding I have to do? I am sending out the
hard stuff. The units below cost either $199.00 (NO gas) to $299.00
(GAS). Get what you pay for <grin>?
regards (again!)
