[TheForge] Inverters & MIG Welders

[Washington, Aubrey O.]

Thanks, Terry.  But, I need something easier to use than my AC tombstone, not harder.  I'm not a great welder.

And then there's a third option - buy another welder!  In this case,
it would be the ReadyWelder.  It is designed to run off 1, 2, or 3
batteries depending on the thickness of the metal.  It's popular with
the off-road crowd.  And judging from the web site, it's used by NATO
troops.  I've got one, and am still trying to get the hang of
it.  (I'm running mine off a stick / TIG machine and the voltages are
rather high.)
