Now the question is, do you know how to weld?

It came with an aluminum spool gun? Don't see it in the pics.

Does it work?

No it didnt come with aluminum spool gun. I cant get it from summit racing on ebay for $220 w/carrying case.

Yes it works. He welded with it here last night to show that it works.

Right on.

Decent little welders. I had its older brother back in the 90s in the shop I owned in WA. It was the 240v version. With a good 50/50 shielding gas, and 035 wire, they do great.

I must have welded 2 miles of NASCAR tubing building roll cages and skid plates for our Jeep club with one of those. The aluminum spool guns are okay, but I would rather TIG.

Learn how to use it.

Nice trade.

TIG is the way to go for nice clean strong welds if you can afford the equipment. I have a little Miller welder like that, it is 110v and does a great job. I just have to remember to turn the gas on. :lol:
