My uncle has had his welder for 20yrs. It has been a good one. Hes kept me pieced together for years now. Hes getting too old to keep me going and its near impossible to get a small welding job done these days. Especially if you need it done quick and for a reasonable price. I bought a 110 welder to weld on my dump trailer. It should be illegal for that thing to be called a welder. I guess it might weld tin cans together or alumi um foil or something. Looks like you slung a hand full of cttag cheese on it. Im not welding for a living. Just need to be able to fix what i break.
