The Lair

Stay away from the Lincoln Easy Mig. The name and $400 price point may seem enticing but the reviews online are atrocious.

 

@Gunshot-6A i have the titanium welder from HF. It’s a step below the Vulcan line but I love it and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others. It’s an inverter welder, vs a lot of others are transformer welders. The inverter is lighter and burns “cleaner” for lack of a better term. Downside is it can be expensive to fix/replace if it ever breaks which is why I bought a 2 year extended warranty on mine.

I have the lowest level to run off 120 but they have 240 ones as well.

 

Randy has the Titanium 135 Mig. $399 at HF and only requires 120 not a 240

At the price point it seems to be very compatible with Hobart that is $300 more expensive

 

You are sneaky Randy.

 

Look at them dimes @Gunshot-6A

1/4” in one pass. The little titanium does work. Even @PyritePirateBill was impressed with it after seeing it in person and he’s a body shop guy who’s around welders all day.

 

I have read about the Turbo issues. I looked online yesterday and they run about $500 a side should they fail and I could probably handle the replacement myself, so that aspect doesn't really concern me so much, as just finding something in good shape, with more life to live! LOL

Our budget of staying under 20K has made that mission extremely difficult. They are either old and beat, or newer with insanely high mileage.

You should do this to the Paw Patroller!

So the titanium 140 is 399 at HF, and there is a Hobart for sale with cart locally for 500. Got some thinking to do.

I'm so ready to move in to this house and get to making progress on stuff instead of just thinking about it. Signing next Thursday the 6th, but move in isn't until the 16th or so.

 

Which part of town?

 

Purdy!

Nice! When we closed on our house, it took the typical 48 hrs or so to fund before we were given keys, but it took us about 10 days to make arrangements and get everything moved from our apartment. It was nice not having to rush. We would load both vehicles every night, and by the time we had the Uhaul truck the next weekend, all we had left to move was the large furniture.

 

The damn cart is $200 and the Hobart run around $800. Geezuz! That is a good deal.

Argon tank included by any chance?

 

Yeah, I had 2 months of overlap between my old place and my current place. The easy trips made it so much more tolerable, and then took like 3 hours to move some furniture items. easy peasy. Especially since it was between my old place and work.

This house is the opposite way about 4 miles.

No on the tanks. But the rest of it seems solid.

 

The hobart is a 140 so its 530ish new. Basically save yourself $50 with tax and get the cart for free. Still a good deal.

 

The Explorer is sexy Daniel. It was actually engineered along side the Range Rover Sport. If you ever see them side by side you can see a lot of similarities.

If it is a Utah truck it may be worth the money. It is definitely worth a look in person.

Interior is MINT! That is usually a good indicator that the person who owned it gave a fuck about it.

 

True. I bet you could lay some pretty dimes with that puppy.

 

Randall. You impress me on the daily

 

You cant tell him that...it goes straight to his head.

Next thing you know he'll be calling himself "Randall the Impresser"

 

Has a nice ring to it. He should add it to his professional portfolio
