welder question

My small welder is a Clarke 130....I bought it years ago....I use it to weld sheetmetal....stuff in the 16 to 20 gauge thickness...but if you are welding 5/16" round stock...it will work for that just fine....and I have had very little in the way of trouble from mine...some say they are a pos....mine has been good....and if they havent changed stuff...the gun is a Tweco copy, so expendables are easy to get....BUT it simply don't have the balls for heavy work.
 
Just found a hobart 180 at a pawn shop almost new for 350 i think it should do everything i need it to do i also found a little 125 amp for 85 bucks think im gonna mount it in the jeep for on trail fixes (plus it will be cool to have a welder mounted in the jeep imo)
