I don't weld near enough to justify spending the money, and I'm sure there's a few others that don't as well. (yea, right.) and work to feed myself and my household. If I had the money burning holes in my pocket, I may buy something better.

It has a high/low switch and a off/on switch. I tell you what, come on over and show it to me then. Re: How Lucky Can A Person Get ? Campbell Hausfeld Wire. Haven't had a chance to really do some welding with it to really put it to a test ,but I'm getting ready to take it to a friends garage and try it out. It is a Campbell Hausfeld Flux Core 80, Single Phase ,Wire Welder.

Here are some pictures of it and a link to the manual site. I need to order a piece that holds the wire spool on, but that's small change compared to a new welder. Also, it has a few dents and scratches and the paint is chipped in a few places, but hey, it work and a new one is over $200.00 dollars, so it saved me a lot of money. It is a little dirty as it was in a shop and he's not a very neat person. It said that it had that device on the front of it. It has a duty cycle over exceed limiter on it and they probably overceeded the duty cycle of it and it shut off to cool down. I got a piece of metal and hooked up the ground clamp and it actually started welding. it actually came on !!!! I squeezed the welding handle and the wire feed out. The side where the wire spool is, was off, exposing the wire spool and the wire was rusted a little. Well, I climbed over a pile of lawnmowers and got it. I then asked if I could have it in order to get it out of his way and he said yes. Then I asked what was wrong with it ? He said it just quit, like it was unpluged ,wouldn't weld wouldn't feed the wire out. Wire feed, I asked then ,and he said that it was.

I asked him if it wasa welder and he said it was. Didn't have the parts that I needed in his big pile of parts, but while looking around I saw a big blue box on top of a pile of riding mowers. I'll stop ranting now.I was at a friends small engine shop today looking for parts. and if you put ten bucks in it and use it for a hour, you're still ahead in my book. For free, I'd say you justified the purchase. There are some people who have the fancy welders and fancy things, but I can do just as much, and sometimes even better with my 'junk', garage sale and auction finds, and my Chinese Harbor Freight stuff.

I'll also venture to bet that almost anyone who has knocked your new found plaything would have snatched up for free as well. (you know, what's more important? a $400 welder, or the $400 in new tires my truck needs to get me back and forth to making the $400?) I use it a lot to 'tack' things before I use my stick welder (which if I talked much about I'd get told how junk it was.) but it has always done anything I wanted it to do. Mine don't have feed speed control or anything. I've ran a lot of wire through it fixing this and that. asked for a welder, and that's what I got. I had saved money and bought a truck and wanted to fix it. Had watched a friend of my dad's reweld new quarter panels on a truck. I was at a friends small engine shop today looking for parts.
