Any thoughts???

Well, I've never thought about it but, most migs have a tension adjustment for the wire feed. If you loosen the adjustment substantially you would be able to tack, let off the trigger and pull out on the gun to get however much wire you want, cut it off with dykes, repeat until you have the amount of "pullers" you want. Might take a few experiments to get the tension correct. Never tried but dont see why it wouldn't work. I've got a couple of migs and think I'll try it myself.
