New tools you've bought recently?

Right now I have a little lincoln 100a 110v flux core welder, and learning on it has been a huge pain. It just doesnt have the juice, and after trying out a friends 220v i decided to take the plunge and get a cheapo 200amp+ 220V welder. I know it'll be half junk, but decided to try out the vevor 250amp. Was able to snag it right at $200, and for how little i'll use it I feel pretty comfortable with the decision. Will be here tomorrow and I'm looking forward to getting it set up

You'll have to let us know how you like the welder. I have fondled a few cheap ones like that and the stinger & leads always seem to be too short and very cheaply made. The digital screens make me nervous too, how long till that dies? I don't hear people bitching about their Amazon welders dying left & right though so maybe they are just fine!

I bought one of the Titanium 125 flux core welders recently for $60 at the pawn shop, that little fella actually works very well. I was hoping to be able to run it off my 3200 watt generator but it trips the breaker after about 10 seconds. I can weld continuously if I plug it into my Miller welder/generator... so I guess it wasn't a total waste, there might be a time where I need to do flux wire MIG in the field instead of stick.
