Hi guys
well as Christmas approaches IM looking for my present. And the one thing 
that IM thinking of asking Santa for is a MIG welder.
has any one used or own one of the flux core welders I see? If you do, how do 
you like it compared to gas?
IM tempted to ask Santa for the Chicago electric dual MIG 151, that harbor 
freight sells. (item 6271-4vga)
the reasons being:
1) it has the variable amps
2) it can be made to work with the gas
3) i like the 240 volt..do not have a convenient 115v 15 amp outlet close by
4) it seems cheap....am i getting what IM paying for? that is junk?
how does the 115v/15a ones work? they don't have much in the way of variable 
amps or feed speed. is that a bid deal? my biggest job will be the floor 
pans..lots of plug welds.
will it fit down my chimney?
as always i appreciate your comments
and thanks to Geo and Randall, my control head is changed and works great, 
and as you both said "its a piece of cake"
