the welder is a firepower 130. its not a heavy guage welder but perfect for what will happen in my garage, and its comparable to the lincoln 130 and hobart handler 140. kevin's getting the same one. it must be pretty good if the snap-on guy deals them. and $700 bones

nice buy.

but you can never have to much welder.. There will always be something you want to weld.

I have a Hobart Handler 210.
