I’ve been told, the muscle memory for welding is still rattling around in my brain. I haven’t picked up a MIG gun or oxy-acetylene torch in nearly a quarter of a century. But I’ve been getting the itch lately. I was never a great welder, I was adequate at best. Like most people say, I could make metal stick together. I’m not building a tube-frame car or anything like that. I don’t need anything with a big duty-cycle and the ability to run all day. I have time and patience. Most of these Labor Day deals on MIG welders are perfect for that use case.
Starting at the lowest end by cost, we have a YESWELDER 135 amp 3-in-1 welder for $129.99. It gets remarkably good reviews for this price point. You can start out doing flux core, so you won’t even need to buy gas. But, when you want to progress, it will do both MIG and TIG. I never even got the adequate stage with TIG, but I think I’d like to learn to walk and chew gum at the same time. (Being proficient at TIG requires both hands and a foot.)
If you’ve ever been serious about the car building business, you’ll recognize the name Eastwood. The company sells welders of all different levels. For $299.97, you can dive into this 140-amp MIG machine that still runs on a regular 120V plug. It’s a great hobbyist welder, but if you want to get more serious, there are incremental steps every couple of hundred dollars. You can move to a 180-amp machine that can use 120V or 240V for $499.97, if you know you’re going to want to step it up. For most people, a MIG machine is going to make the most sense, but getting a machine with the ability to do multiple types of welding is probably the way to go. One last thing; remember that you will need gloves and a mask at the minimum.
