I rarely stick weld any more. It's funny it feels like every few years I'll do it though. I still have this

I think I bought it even before welding school. The wacko neighbor down the street had some crazy project and couldn't weld for shit. He got frustrated and sold it to me for I think it was $150 lol it's the AC/DC one too. I was about 15 when I got it and it's been everywhere with me. I mostly tig, mig is a close second, but I doubt I'll ever get rid of that one. I've watched it fall off trucks a few times.....down a set of stairs lol
I have one of those in my garage that was given to me. Don't even know if it works. It has a 220 plug on it and I don't have an outlet for that. I suppose I could hook up a 110 cord to it.
BTW it's raining.

I snaked the old lincoln buzz box I had from a jobsite lol. Thing was beat up pretty good .
I learned with stick, it’s just the normal for me usually. When you learn stick and then pick up a wire feed, you feel like you can weld behind your back lol. Its too easy.

I’ve used these for years now. lift and go I use them at home at work they are great for all jobs unless it’s structural and need to exceed specified amp rating on the welder but they do tig and stick. I can’t get used to the peddle on the bigger tig welders and I don’t really like that new pulsing arc stuff. I don’t really mig anything anymore as mostly everything is stainless I work around now.View attachment 5248853
Yeah i been scoping out a miller multimatic but i don’t tig. Would like to someday but i had a spoolgun for my last mig for aluminum. I never need to weld stainless.

Pulse could be pretty nice if used right. It's extremely controllable. I get to play around with it a bunch.

Huh, didn't know these existed.

Me nether. Cool & a great temp cure for the lack of the proper hardwired fixture.
