learned to weld with this

Easy to understand. You either have a welder or you don't yet know you need one. I've used this for a lot of things that took me a lot longer to do without a welder. There are some connections where I still prefer screws in some cases (I'm an architect so I have experience in construction). I've only welded a few times and had no problems with this welder. Everything is of surprisingly good quality. with gloves on and off is very difficult, otherwise I can not find the problem. Some reviews say it's cold and they set it to 90A for a 3/32 bar. I've never had to lift that high with 3/32" 6011 or 7018 on 3/16" steel in one go. maybe I got a good one. The Stinger is surprisingly good for such an inexpensive device. I live in another country where there are no good welders. I had to check in my luggage. This lightweight inverter was great for that. Having this job at 120 is great as you can take it anywhere. The boy was surprised by this possibility. The last time I welded was when I was a teenager, back in 1970, when I used a full size Lincoln to pull huge heavy cable from a 220 fork to a workpiece (i.e. that was my truck back then). This little machine is perfect for light jobs that need to be done quickly.
