very nice. I settled for the Lincoln 135SP and have been very pleased, and impressed from the smaller machine.

I want a new welder my POS campbell Hausfeld will not die. I am getting a new one this summer.
Do what I did, put your old one up for sale for a good price and wala you will be looking for a new welder before you know it.

I want to put it in my trailer so I can do some on site welding so I don't have to carry the gas mig with me.

I carry a ready welder. Hook it up to 2 car batteries and it will weld 1/4" steel. 3 batteries and it will weld 1/2". www.readywelder.com

I have basically the same welder. The only thing I would change is the ground clamp. I've melted the rubber off of the handle. I think I will upgrade it to a larger clamp and wire. It may be a little too smaller for the capacity of the welder.
Does yours also have the gas bottle hook ups?

Good choice! I sold welding equip. for 20 years in San Diego. Ive sold pallets of those handlers. They are built by the same parent co. as Miller. IMO best bang for the buck in a 115volt mig machine. Enjoy, dont hesitate to pm me if I can help you with it. popcornn Bob

I think you may be a bogus builder. Whats with the new parts cleaner?
Looks like a poser to me.:funny:
And I notice you have the priorities correct. Forget about the sheetrock, I need building toy's.rockonn
Looks like you have a few nice toys to help with your build.bigok

X2 I can't kill it, but I think in the next year it will be time to upgrade to a larger 220v welder with more options. I'll keep the C.H. because it fits in the side compartment of the ol Red Neck RV. This way I still have portable mig.

I just bought a new spool of flux core so I guess I will keep it longer now.
