Anyone have a discount code for $60 off the 90 amp welder? All the ones that I find have to be paid for. Only like 3 bucks but thought I would see if anyone had it before spending the money.

Man, it's 170 bucks. If you don't plan on getting a real welder at least get the nicer ****ty welder.

I don't have a 220 in my garage. I need to replace my floor pans and everything I see says that its hard to use the 220 for the floor. That and I have never welded before. I had planned on going to pawn shops before buying a new one.

You can find the 90 amp chinese flux welders on ebay for 100 bucks or less new, they're all pretty much the same

a used Hobart might be a better choice than a new Harbor Freight.

Craigslist is your friend. Stay away from a cheap welder. Get a good one for less.

There isn't anything around here on Craigslist. It has good reviews for beginners.

The thing that led me away from a hf welder is the fact they only have 2 heat settings. Really hard to dial in where you need it

I have already ordered it. Guess I'll see how it is or if it was a waste of money.
