The smaller ones are nice to have if you are doing something thin, like 19g thinner. Another draw back of the smaller/cheaper spot welders is that the jaws can't clamp as tight as you might want so you would have to dolly the areas for each weld so they mate nicely. If you get one make sure to do a few destructive tests to make sure you are getting a good weld. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
