Getting into welding doesn’t have to be crazy expensive. I mean, it’s way cheaper than golf, it’s a useful skill that will help you build cars, it’ll impress your friends, and it isn’t freakin’ golf. I’ve found big deals on welders and welding equipment from several different online sources. Some you can pick up in person the same day. Others will be dropped off at your front door by a friendly(maybe) delivery person. 200 amp welder
If you don’t know the name, Eastwood and you work on cars, you should probably look them up. The company’s welders are normally a good deal to begin with. But right now several machines are discounted anywhere from $50 to $455 off. If you’re looking to get started and want some versatility, this Eastwood 140amp Multi Process Welder for $449.97 is hard to beat. It will allow you to do MIG, TIG, and Stick work while using a regular 120-volt home outlet.
If you already know wire-feed is going to be your jam, and you want to be able to power-up a bit by using 240 volts, then this MIG180 Machine for $499.97 is probably the direction I’d lean. It’ll do flux-core and gas. You can also buy an additional spool gun if you decide you want to do aluminum.
If you want the convenience of ordering from Amazon, then the YESWELDER 200Amp MIG Welder, 110/220V Dual Voltages MIG/Stick/Lift TIG for $480 may be your choice. These machines may not have the name recognition of something like a Lincoln Electric. However, they are recommended by several people I know as a good home machine. There’s also a few deals on accessories below; there’s even a plasma cutter. Remember when budgeting, you’ll absolutely need a welding mask and gloves. A jacket is nice and so is a table. Spark it up and stick some stuff together.
The best gifts for gearheads are the ones that help them get it done. Not sure where to start? We’re happy to get you in the know on how to knock car lovers off their feet this holiday season.
