rat_ranger Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 So I picked up a snap on/blue point 110 mig welder for $100. anyone have any experience with them? I have arc welded before but never mig so I didnt want to get anything to expensive to start with. Then moving around with the army I never know if I will have 220 so I have to stick with 110 for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like mig a lot better than arc welding, you'll never want to arc weld again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rat_ranger Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 Yeah, it is used. I figured if it has any issues I will take it up to the motor pool when the snap on guy stops by and have him take a look for me. Mostly going to use it for sheet metal and some stuff maybe up to 1/8in. anything heavier and I will probably tack weld spots and take it to a pro until I really get good.

pat1 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 you can't go wrong at that price. I have a old lincoln 100 amp mig that I use from time to time. Works great on the small stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rat_ranger Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 Mainly its going to get used to do a custom widebody on a 240 and some less essential brackets. and maybe to tack weld a roll cage, I will leave critical welding to the pros for now. Lots of practice before I get close to a car with it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
