righto...wheres our super forum members that can find an old thread.

This has been discussed prior, and none of us would use that to weld our ex wives hanging frame.

Hopefully someone can link the old thread, as i am hopeless at finding them.

I can't see the price for it but if you wanted one for home use then it would be ok. I have seen many around with similar specs and if you are competant at welding than you should be able to make it work for you. I have used a similar one on my old beetle and on a friends Morris. He has been extremely happy with the results. I am good at welding though and know what settings to get the results.
