Default Harbor Freight Tig?

Anyone use one of the Tigs they sell at Harbor Freight?

There's a link to it below. It's on sale for $199....not sure if I should try my luck with this or just save up & get a 220 Mig from Lincoln or Hobart. Miller's are a bit too pricey for the frequeny I'll use it.

I cant speek for the cheap tig - sounds too good to be true, however. I have purchased dozens and dozens of tools from HF with only one issue. An air compressor I bought for $169 stopped working after three days...I sent it back a got a refund.

All the other stuff (air tools, hand tools etc.) have been great values.

I would rather save my money and know I'm getting something good. You could look into a lincon Invettec V160T, linkon #K1845-1. Its a 115/230v tig. The company I work for sells them for about $1200. Otherwise I would go for the Precision Tig 185 with ready pac, K2347-2, for about $1650. Its Nice machine. We have one I've used for demos.

We may be able to ship them. Where are you at? If nothing else I could.
