I've got a small Hobart 110V wire welder that I love. Its set up for gas and I can run flux if I wan't to. The gas makes a much better weld than the flux, but I keep a small roll of flux around in case I run low on gas and need to finish something. By being 110V, I can carry the welder to the job rather than have to bring the job to the welder, I've run it with heavy duty extension cords with out any problem either(old shore power cords). It works great for light duty welding, sheet metal, small repiars, tack welding, etc. If I were doing heavy welding, I'd just use a DC stick welder. I'd love to have a tig, but I don't weld enough to justify the cost of a tig set up
