Harbor freight welder

Anyone have any information on harbor freight welders? Are they any good for around the home?

Re: Harbor freight welder

I started to use a miller welder at work and I'm liking it. I just want one to practice with at home. I don't want to spend much, I have four kids and would feel guilty splurging on myself. No projects in mind, just to have one handy. Something that plugs into a standard outlet.

Re: Harbor freight welder

You'd be better off looking around for a used Miller or Lincoln wire feed... Homo Depot has the Lincoln Weld-Pak wire feed welders for around 200 maybe a little less, but a lot better quality than the harbor freight ones, and for not much more $. Most of them also have the gas port in the back so that you can add a gas bottle and use solid core wire if you so desire.

we have 3 millers and a hobart handler 135. All have a tank and all do well. I bought the hobart because it fits into the outback for to-go kinda jobs

Tractor Supply sells welders cheap.
