hey guys ive been shopping around for the most reasonable welder and im wondering what you guys recomend for the jobs i have to do ,such as welding floor patchs in rocker panels and some small other stuff. and would used be a good idea
B Buy one that you can use gas with. Don't try to save money by welding with flux core wire. Guaranteed you'll hate the job it does and the smoke it makes.
C Used is fine if you observe A and B!
Two of my friends have bought used Snap On welders that were older and in both cases they have been very happy with them.

priced a SP 140 lincoln back a few months ago just under $800 will last forever IMO best overall for for your needs but don't buy one from CTC get it from a lincoln dealer had one for 10 years and sold it for $500 after I bought mt 255

Jonathan, listen to Carl, I tried the flux core, didn't like the finished welds & I took welding in school,so I know it wasn't "inexperience"!!!!

Looks like you are going to need another job pretty soon if you keep buying . It all depends on you fiances get what you can afford but if you can wait a while save some money and buy a new Lincoln it will last you a life time.
