So the $1000 question, I have been fixing cars, suspension, clutches, gearboxes, electrics etc for a while now but never welded. As there is no one near me that wants to take on the task, I was thinking of getting a cheap stick welder off TEMU.
Handheld Welder with IGBT Inverter 20 -120A
Also a better
auto darkening helmet then in the KIT
Thoughts?
Stick welders no good for what you need

You'll need a different type of welder for that. Furthermore, there is a BIG difference between cheap and quality stick welders!
