I have been looking into getting a welder for sometime now. I have a buddy who is willing to teach me and I can tell you how many time around the house I wish I had a small mig welder.
Anyway for now I would like to do some exhaust work when I put my headers on and eventually put on duals. I want to get something cheap because I will not be using it a lot and ofcorse money is tight. I want to be able to weld exhaust pipes where required,
if I strip heads of a bold ( like a manifold bolt) I would want to be able to weld a new nut on to help get it out..
Just things like that would be nice to have a welder for..
I recently got a $50 gift card to lowes and was thinking of using it there
what do you think of these two?
Shop Campbell Hausfeld 115-Volt / 20-Amp Stick Welder at Lowes.com
Shop Lincoln Electric 120-Volt / 55-Amp Stick Welder at Lowes.com
Will these be suitable for small jobs.. like I said exhaust work is the first thing that comes to mind
again, for now I will not be using it a lot and I dont need anything for big jobs. When I work full time in about 7 months I will start building up my garage. I just been dying to have a little welder haha. Would welcome all recommendations!!
