Eastwood.com is a great place to buy tools and garage gear, especially if you’re looking for something a little more specialized than what’s on the rack at AutoZone and maybe a little more high-quality than some wares at Harbor Freight. This week it’s having a warehouse liquidation sale promising “extreme savings” and “epic deals.” I poked around and found myself a little inspired by some of the welder listings.
I haven’t welded since I took a shop class in 2006, but it’s high on my list of skills I’d like to acquire. If you share a similar dream, you’re probably on the lookout for cheap welders, too. Here are some cheaper rig options marked down to about $500 and even less, potentially saving you hundreds.
Just make sure you do a little research first to confirm if you should be starting with TIG or MIG welding, and to see how much power you’ll need. Broadly speaking, MIG is the move for learning and starting out. If you’re not sure how much power you need, Eastwood has a handy guide on how to select a MIG welder. This MIG 180 unit, which can run off 120 or 240 volts and weld steel up to 5/16th thick, seems like a great all-around option for getting into the craft and it comes with a $50 rebate on future purchases even after this big $100.02 discount.
I found a few more related sale items on Eastwood’s site that might catch your interest as well, take a look.
