Thanks for the input. I'll probably regret it one day, but I think I'm going with the 115volt Hobart 135. I really like being able to take the welder to the work instead of being stuck by my 230 plug. My son and I plan on entering some demoliton derbys soon and this welder should run on my generator okay. My wife is already complaining (

) about how much this smaller outfit is going to cost, so 230 machines are kinda out of the question right now

.
Hobart 135 mig $650
55cu tank (owned) $180 filled
Grand total (taxes included) $954.50 Canadian
Refills $31.95 + taxes
Thanx
