In my opinion, no. They look like they're gasless (flux core only) and 110/115/120V. The difference between those and a MIG (gas) 220/230/240V setup is *enormous*.

I've been using a Drico 150D MIG from Amazon since 2016. It's a 150A 220V unit. I've built front and rear bumpers, carts, done automotive sheet metal work, all kinds of stuff. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be available anymore, but it shows that a Chinese MIG can be reliable.

I had an AHP TIG, too. It died one month after the warranty expired. The cost of shipping it for repairs would be half the cost of a brand new one, plus the repairs, which I believe were only warranted for 30 days. I replaced it with an Andeli TIG off of Alibaba and it's been working great. It's not worth paying the markup to an American reseller of Chinese welders, in my opinion. Just go to the source, save money, and plan to buy another if it fails. Plus, it's been my experience that the Chinese sellers will at least attempt to troubleshoot problems, and they'll provide schematics. The American resellers just give extremely basic tests and then say you need to ship it back and pay for repair, and they omit schematics from the manual, probably to hide the fact that there are a handful of Chinese welder designs repackaged into countless brands.

Yes, times change. But, this is still the best hardware shop out there for folks like me. Can't complain.

Your welder depends on the welding requirement. My suggestion would be to take a local community college welding class and learn by doing. Then decide what your needs require and don't buy it from HF or YES, but that's just me.

Pittsburgh 1.5 Ton Low-Profile Alum Floor Jack for $67.99
Too bad it was a one day only deal. I would have gotten one to replace my cheap secondary trolley jack that recently leaked a bit.

The topic was floor jacks, not jack stands. I wouldn't touch a HF jack stand at this point.

Those can be fixed, often fairly easily. If it's not old it may well be a reservoir leak, which just requires some RTV applied to either end. The hard part is getting the gland nut off and then tightening it. If it is old then it could also be a high pressure seal or o-ring, and there are kits to replace those for many models.

Visited my local one yesterday, got some small items, all under $10, like a 12" tool tote and tiedown ratchet. They seemed to be well-stocked and had many floor jack models.

You buy an Industrial Miller (for quite a bit more money), and you'll have a welder you hand down to your kids.
Buy a Chinese MIG, get your hobbies done, and put the rest into an IRA for your kid(s). They'll pay for college with it and ignore the welder they're not interested in.

The winch will last unless it goes in salt water. The compressor will last. The dolly will last. The batteries, well, they're batteries. I've got 15 year old sockets and wrenches from there. The vacuum and tool box will last. What are you talking about?

the winch is the best deal on there so far. even if it lasts a couple of years (which it should last much longer unless it gets corroded) it's worth it.
