Awsome machine

A friend of mine bought one of these and I got to see how great it was to use in the shop or garage. I just had to have one for myself! Anything from mild steel to aluminum and even stainless, what a HUGE difference over the previous competitors models a few years ago. I've already built and repaired quite a number of projects and making plans for others. I'm actually looking forward to my kids breaking things so I can use it even more. Great price and great machine! I am recommending it to all my friends that need a handy welder. Thank You Sears!
