Since many people here buy from / suggest Princess Auto as a place to buy our gear, I thought you guys might be able to provide opinions regarding the mig welders they sell.

They sell lots of different DECA welders .. this is a brand I don't recognise. They also sell the Lincoln WeldPac 100, of which I've heard good things.

I don't intend to do much more than body work and maybe tube bumpers and some work on fenders .. but I don't want to buy crap tools, either.

Has anyone any experience / knowledge regarding these welders?

PA has a pretty limited selection of welders other than the Deca .. who has good prices on good welding kit?
