Plus one on the auto dark helmet from HF. No issues with the one I have and no worries about messing it up because they are not super expensive. I think I got mine for $30 on sale.

Choose your Welders...
..well...before the holiday weekend I was on a "search" for coolers and
chairs and stuff as well as a kennel for Cole to haul up to our friends house on Lobdell lake...
...I had to pull SO much "stuff" out of the garage it was ridiculous, so I
figured while I was at it I would sweep out the garage and snap a couple pic's of my favorite sparkies...
I picked up the Snapon YA219B MIG after an EBay auction ended. I called the dude and we agreed on a price so I drove about an hour and tested it out with HIS NOT included 20 lb. bottle and brought it home for $240.00.
THEN I found THIS bottle on Craigslist about 1-1/2miles from home FULL of C25 gas (75% Argon/25% CO2) and took it home for $70.00.
That dude was liquidating a mobile welding service...
The Oxy/MAPP-Gas set-up I picked up locally from a retired dude off of Craigslist for $150.00 with the Oxygen at 80% and the MAPP Gas at50% full just the way you see it.
Older retired guy's ROCK when they find out your in-to the same "stuff" they are...he "Wolfgang" thru-in a few pair of flip-up braising goggles and almost a dozen OLD strikers...
-
My point being...look around...take your time...it's ALL out there man...
...sometimes for LESS than $500...
...
Good luck...
