Cheap welders?

You are not to far from my folks I was born and raised in Orange County.

I used to love Sunday rides up there, until it got popular and idiots ticked the police off.

Orange county is still getting built up as NYC's urban sprawl increases.

I hope your parents are ok with it.

I'm sure if it's NIB and you have the receipt you could sell it for what you bought it for.

I know the managers at my two local stores. (White Plains & Orange)

If the box wasn't beat up they would let me trade up.

I also go to the Bridgeport and Bronx stores, but not enough to know the staff.

Ill put it up on CL and also stop by HF tomorrow and see if they will let me trade up. I definitely don't have the reciept.

Got the new welder in, lots of interest in the old one but I've been too busy/sick to connect with someone to part with it.

I cannot believe how small and light this thing is. Absolutely amazing.

Looking forward to an honest review.:nabble_smiley_good:

I'm willing to weigh in with opinion, and what little advice I can offer...

I went over to Ossining yesterday to give my buddy Theo a hand.

Welded some feet on his big Generac, braced his favorite Jackson wheelbarrow and welded a new hitch on his rusty trailer.

The little Titanium 125 did fine on 100' of 10Ga. Yellowjacket extension cord.

Definitely had no problem burning the edge off the new hitch.

Penetration is good even on 'D' when working overhead.

Definitely not my finest work, but seems very solid.

It does look very solid. Seems the machine is working well. :nabble_smiley_good:

I never thought I'd say "I feel spoiled by my $150 Horrid Fate flux welder"

But there it is! 😄

I'm struggling with the Lincoln Weld-pak *125* HD today.

It is not going my way.

While I admit I don't have my 'nice' gloves and auto-darkening helmet, I'd definitely be doing better with the bright green lunchbox.

That's a pretty significant statement! Wow. A Harbor Freight works better than a Lincoln. :nabble_smiley_oh:

I think it is a testament to how much HF is stepping up their quality and performance. Not to mention on the hand tools there is a lifetime warranty. I put that to the test the other day on a low profile ratchet. Was super easy swap in store.
