    I am shopping for a 110V wire feed welder for at home and work use.

    We have went through a couple cheaper Lincoln units and have not been overly impressed, but some of my guys are hard on stuff.

    We have a Miller 252 for welding big stuff in our fab shop. I need something small to use around the jobsite, and to drag home if I needto weld stuff there.

    Budget is under $1000.......

    Thanks guys!!

    I use a Lincoln Promig 140. It does everything I need it to and is quite portable.

    I ended up with a Miller 140 autoset. Got it locally because of support and the price was good.

    Used it today and it works really well. I welded up a cart to lug it around the plant I work at but still not be a burden to toss in a pickup single handed.


    The T handle on the front slids out to make it easy to pull behind ya, like a suit case.

    Pretty creative! Looks like that oughta do it. When I get my Colorado rear, could you roll that over here to Kansas and weld it in place for me? ;)
