This ^^^^

I have a 120v and it works surprisingly good once you figure out the speed of the wire and the amps to use for a particular project. Mine has been handy. i think I spent more on my welding helmet than I did on the welder.

Yours goes by amps? What do you got


Yeah it does. It has a high and a low setting High is about 80-90 amps and low is about 60-70 amps. I don't think Harbor Freight even sells this model any more, but apparently Amazon still does. I think with my coupon and some other discount the day I was in the store, I think they actually paid me to take the thing home with me. grin

Seriously I think I paid about $49 for it. I think my auto darkening helmet was about $45.

Like I said, one you get things figured out, it welds surprisingly good for what it is.
