with of those welder would one suggest?
Hey I am going to be doing some welding in the future and was wondering which of these one would get and if they would be good for most things or no? Mainly welding on some new rocker panels and maybe floor reinforcement?
Blue Point MB120-110 Mig Welder
Astro Mig Welder
Both are used and both are 100 or less, Any thoughts?

Ive never heard of these 2. I'm not a welder expert but I would go with a better known brand. Replacement parts and long term quality are a lot better. We have a Lincoln 110 and have had it for 10+ years and no problems. Built a few trailers, many exhausts, floor pans, body panels, and anything else you would like. I personally wouldn't build a bumper with it but you can though just make sure your welds are good.

Blue Point is a Snap On brand welder and I've never heard of an Astro so I googled it. Both welders seem to be somewhat difficult to find parts for, but for only a $100, if they work, either one will do.
Pick the one that looks the newest and see if you can "test drive" em' before you would buy. Either one would make a good starter welder for the price.

ok I also found this one on CL Lincoln Electric Rod Welder that includes a helmet and rods for 150 near by. Would this be a better bet since I would also be getting some other needed items and its a lincoln which seems to be a good company?

Check the power requirements and where you are going to plug it in. I got only 100 amp in the house, so I'm limited. On the farm we can run the 40 year old 220 Lincoln 220 stick no problem.
