A cheap, light flux-core welder for occasional repairs around the farm or yard. Fine for a first welder if you never plan to weld with gas.

Pros
- Runs on a household 120 V outlet or a 4,000 W generator for fence, trailer and farm repairs
- No gas bottle to buy or haul: flux-core wire welds outdoors in a breeze
- Under 19 lb with a carry strap, easy to take to the job
- Welds up to 1/4 in mild steel in one pass
Cons
- Flux core only, so welds need slag chipping and look rougher than gas MIG
- Only a 1 year warranty, short next to rivals offering 3 to 5 years
- Rated 30% duty at just 90 A, so long beads at full power need rest
