Snap-on welder. Does anyone have one or ever used one. they cost alot compared to a miller, or lincoln but they have 100% duty cycle.
Also i have a 110v mig/ flux core thats good for welding exhaust and little ****. should i just get a tig machine instead of a bigger mig. i want to weld in my cage and front mount myself.

I currently own a Snap On Welder, have had it about 5 years, no problems at all, mine is a 225 IND with Tig Attachment
This is my 3rd Snap on welder and all 3 have work to my expectations with 0 problems

Depends on your intended use and your skill level. I have a Hobart (miller) mig 135 Flux core / gas welder. I think the duty cycle is only 30%. It has never kicked out on me. I am very experienced welder. I been doing body work for 15 years. I also have welded some thick stuff. This little 110v unit impresses me!
duty cycle is more for big production work.... welding a cage you wont be welding for more than 1 min at a time before you either **** up and or you actually finish a good weld and get out of that cramped position....
low duty cycle machines suck. period.. i hate 110v welders (and even some small 220v migs) with a passion. the weld quality drops like a rock after about ten seconds. crap. once you use a good miller machine, a panasonic gunslinger, anything with some amperage, you'll never ever go back to the POS cheap welders.

i think spending the money on a snap-on welder is a joke unless you have the cash to throw or want it because of the name. Miller/Hobart are just as good for a good price.
Lincoln are nice i have owned one and i liked it but when it came to there tech. support... it sucks!
Hobart is the affordable Miller.
Currently i have a couple of Hobarts and Millers and i would never look anywhere else!
