OK, there it's different, the Hobart seems generally well-built. It's certainly heavy enough, as it's old-school iron and copper. I did OK for $50 (and many hours restoring it to functionality). The thing I most noticed about the HF units in the store is the feel/quality of the switch on the gun. Uck. The duty cycle is usually notably low on these welders, too. Like many of their tools, though, I'm sure it's WAY better than no welder at all. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
