Buy a used TA-185, at minimum. Or a Dynasty 200 DX. Both are expensive. The Diversion won't stick weld, so it's a single process welder; a deal killer for me. Spend the money now, it's a lifetime investment.
srry but i didnt think you ever asked wht kind of welding just what i wanted to weld on.
So is this a test? We're supposed to be mind readers?And what's srry and wht?

k
if ask me id get a hobart 140 handler you can put a spool gun on it if u want and it uses flux-cored or gas so you have the option to not have to spend alot of money on gas at first. I bought my HH 140 for $439 brand new at TSC plus it came with an auto shading helmet.and its also very easy to set up.serious welder lol!!!!
