I know u don't want to spend a pay check on a welder, why don't u wait for few paychecks and save a little from each, and buy a quality welder.
Because after buying the HF welder and after some time, u probably would end up buying another one.
Look at Craigslist. There's a lot of good welders for great deals.

I have that exact welder at home. My dad bought it for little odds and ends around the house. I used it to build my roof rack and rear tire carrier. The carrier is made from 2" square 1/8" thick. That welder did fine with that and has held up quite well. But I wouldn't trust it for anything thicker than that.

I built my bumper, and I am a welder for 15 years. From my experience, the harbor freight welders just doesn't cut it out.
