    So, have been saving up gift cards for the past couple of years, wanted to get a used welder, but nothing was showing up, so finally bit the bullet and picked this one up today. Gift cards covered a bit more than half the cost. My welding experience is extremely limited, hope I didn't go too wrong.

    Good machine, make sure to follow the wire feed chart and adjust from there, its all about learning the arc after that. Good Luck and Congrats again.

    I recently got that same model to replace my old weldpak 100. Its a great welder for a 110v machine.
