It's inconsistent metallurgically which gives it an uneven burn rate. But don't use their abrasives, a $4 norton disc from Lowes will outlast four $1 HF discs.Īlso don't touch the HF weld wire. HF orange angle grinders are awesome, get two so you can leave one setup with a grind wheel and the other setup with a cutoff wheel. Skip the HF 110V on this one and buy a quality machine. Having used both, I can't say enough how worthwhile it is to get the better welder. It is so much easier to get a good sheetmetal weld on the lowest setting and it will weld thicker stock, too. Even with flux core wire, the Lincoln welds cleaner. Holy smokes, what a night and day difference. I bit the bullet and bought a true MIG (gas capable) Lincoln welder. LUCKILY I bought the HF "extended warranty" and they took it back for 100% return of my $$, 8 months and 2 spools of wire later (it was hammered). I even had to preheat the frame with a MAPP gas torch to weld the captured nuts to it. It was marginal at those tasks and horrid at anything over 1/8". I put Lincoln wire in it and used Lincoln tips. I did exactly what the OP is talking about.patching sheetmetal, repairing weldnuts, and general Jeep repairs. I can't speak to the 220V welder Coiz owns, but I did buy the 90 amp 110V from HF and used it for 8 months. Typically, the price is so good I consider them to be disposable tools. I have their angle grinders, 7" Polisher, HVLP Paint guns, air compressor, nail guns, impact drivers, etc. First let me say I am a Harbor Freight fan.
