Eastwood 175 Welders

Anyone have experience with the Eastwood 175?

I was originally going to buy an older 120 Silver Beauty and a Lincoln 225 for heavier welding.

Since the Eastwood is on sale for $500, I'm actually leaning that way instead.

I got one sometime last year and for the money I absolutely love it. Mine came withings the optional aluminum spool gun but I havent used it yet.

I pulled the trigger on a Lincoln 180 from Home Depot.

They have plenty on consumables, tips, parts, etc... at HD, didn't think I could go wrong. Not to mention, its made in USA.

I also ordered a Lincoln auto-darkening helmet. It was $50, didn't think I could go wrong with it either, considering the Harbor Freight counter parts are just as expensive.
