Any suggestions on a good first welder??

Any at all? I was thinking either the Lincoln Weldpak 3200 or a Craftsman welder. I am not sure about the quality of the Craftsman, but I have mostly Craftsman tools and have had good luck. I have used the Weldpak 3200 before, and I was impressed, but it is a little pricey for my budget. Any help would be much appreciated. :guitar: arty:

Buy one of the big names in welding Miller, Hobart, Esab, Lincoln , if you need parts you can get them, go 220v.I had a sears arc a few years back and it was pure junk,I don't know about their migs but after that experience I don't what one.I now have a Hobart mig and love it!
