I priced the Lincoln kit and it's a heart stopping $379. Maybe $100 less at other places, and that's not counting the cost of gas and a bottle. A little digging and I found that, in true Chinarider fashion, I can make up my own MIG kit for under $75. Still have to cough up for a bottle and gas but saving three bennies at the start feels better.
Yeah my dads is, umm, some no name brand he bought in the 1990’s. Mine was a craftsman about the same era. His had the gas attachments already on it tho. I found a short gas bottle already filled up for 100$ and sold mine, kept his and changed out the wire. I absolutely love welding with it.
