Hey gang, anyone have one of these northern tool do-it-all welders, or know about them?
Im interested because of the multifunction, and shop space.

.....its supposed to be able to: stick weld, mig flux and solid, spoolgun, tig, with a $99 torch, .....its an inverter type which worries me...10 years down the road and a board craps out....whattya all think? its not going to be used much a bracket, engine plate, shock tabs on the minis, probably no more than 1/4 thick if that.

MB it looks impressive the only thing that I woul be concerned about is if you went the TIG route and bought the optional tig gun . I'am pre sure that it would be scratch start and not high frequency start with a peddle . Although scratch start works but you contaminate the tungsten when you do .
