To be honest JP, I would only buy it if he can come down on the price some.
A 110v welder will only weld up 1/4" steel, 1/8 stainless on its max setting and only be strong enough (for cages, bumpers,ect) with several passes.
I used to have one like that but after a few years of hard use I burned it up.
It doesnt have a long duty cycle, I still have a 110v welder (they are portable and work so good with a generator) but I went with a snap on unit (made by miller) but it has a continus duty cycle.
A cheap alternitive is a stick welder for anything over 3/8"
But for doing allot of fabrication and welds you can trust you should look into a 240v welder.
