[Frankenchevy]

anyone have any recommendations on a cheap (<$200) stud welder that you've used?

found this one on a quick search, made in the USA with decent reviews:

I've been wondering about this too.

I can't tell you the name of the machine ( don't remember the manufacturer) but there is something way better. It puts a stud gun to shame. More expensive, yes. But worth it!

I'll see if I can post an example.

This is what I used to have at my disposal. There are cheaper versions out there.

It's right above, a self-welding slide hammer. Put it to the metal, bump the switch on the slide hammer, pull the metal where you want it, then give it a little twist and it pops right off. Slicker than deer gut on a doorstep.

I seen it. The glue thingy is non- evasive

that would be sweet but it'd be for very occasional use.

I'm curious about this. I'll look it up, haven't seen one.
