I just wanna grab the flux core for 179

 

But the extra 25% would be nice

 

I'm an ITC member and have recently bought a 14" Drill Press, 2 gallon Fortress air compressor, a combo oscillating spindle/horizontal sander plus a bunch of smalls (i.e. accu-link belts, rubber gloves). I get NOTHING in the way of coupons. I get receipts emailed, so I know they have it. WTF?

 

Maybe they are trying to get me to spend? Lure me back???

 

Been happy with everything ive bought from them

 

Check your spam folder.

Their coupons are sent out from a different subdomain than the receipts so it's possible your email provider has classified them as spam.

 

Grab the Titanium MIG 140, works awesome.

I do not recommend their flux core welders, especially the Chicago Electric ones. I had a CE Flux core welder and it exploded apart on my first project.

 

i was gonna get the titanium one

 

No experience with those, but I'm a true believer in shielded gas welding being leaps and bounds better than fluxcore. Fluxcore is fine for soldering, I won't do it anymore welding.

 

i have a hobart mig, just wanted something tiny and portable that's sub $250

 

Not sure if it's been asked, but any thoughts on the earthquake 3/8 impacting air ratchet? Has anyone bought one? I recently bought an Ingersoll Rand 109XPA from Amazon that I had to return, because it was severely underpowered for the 70ft lb rating.

 

How do you weld when you're outside?

 

If I had to, stick. Not fluxcore.

 

The hand piece fell right apart in my hand. Shot the nozzle and the electrode straight out and the plastic handle fell to pieces. Tried to get HF to replace it and they sent me on a wild goose chase of phone calls and no replacement parts.

 

This is what I try to warn everyone about. It may not happen the first time... but HF tools will eventually explode. Even the hammers.

 

The titanium MIG 140 has been super awesome, its just the lower Chicago Electrics that are to be avoided.

 

I can give another vote of confidence for the 1/2" M12 Fuel. I used it to break free the rear diff drain bolt. It had never been changed. Broke it loose in a flash once I had the proper setting.

 

You must've overpaid for your wide brush as that's quite a generalization.

 

It's a Milwaukee cordless dustless brush.
