Check with your tractor supply store many of those do cylinder exchanges.
I believe they off them as well, not all stores however.
Wow.... You must need a trip to the eye doctor as you can't seem to read.WRONG, actually wrong 3 times...

Far as bullets go, I wasn't aware they were made in China. Been reloading for over 15 years and never seen ANY bullets or loaded ammo made in China.
I believe you are smoking something or just naive or possibly both
The HF welders are available in your local HF store, they all have a 100% money back guarantee for a year, extendable to 4 years, all come with leads and ground clamp and for just a tad more you can purchase a true multi process welder and they are all IGBT machines.

Why but a Chineseum offshore welder that you have to wait for, for possibly a month and if it craps out, what recourse do you have, maybe sending it back at your expense and maybe getting a replacement, maybe, when all you have to do is return it to the LOCAL HF store for a refund or replacement.
You need to practice due diligence before posting something that is patently FALSE.
If popping breaker on 120V the problem is not the welder but supply amperage for 120V receptacle.... Upgrading to a 30 amp circuit solved the problem for me with my Hobart Handler 140....Here's my $0.02....
If you are ok with buying Bullets for China ( and a lot of US machinery is now rebranded Chineseium ) then take a look at the YesWelder brand.
Firstess DP200-KS Multi-Process DualPulse™ MIG Welder
Your destination for quality welding equipment. High-performance, high-value products for your welding solutions. Customer focused. Browse our full line of Welders, Cutters, Welding Helmets, Replacement MIG Guns and Consumable. Developed FIRSTESS™ MP200, the Most Versatile 5-in-1 Welder & Cutter.yeswelder.com
I have the older version of this model, I really recommend that you run it with 240v vs 120v as I kept popping breakers to get enough heat with 120v. But it is possible.
I looked at a lot of name brands and not so name brands and I couldn't beat this machines price vs. performance ratio. Right now about $550. No way does HF even come close, either.
Get the 20' welding gun/cable with the standard consumables - it's extra but so worth it.
I run gas when I can - but did a F350 dump body with brand new steel with flux core for a friend. Just remember to flip polarity when moving between normal wire/gas and flux core.... I was stupid at first and couldn't understand why the thing was laying down streams of fluxcore BBs.... Oops!
I'm also running their 65 amp plasma cutter - works nicely for little $$$.
Good luck, Blake
What a lame post on your part. I just so happen to own a fabrication and machine shop with 2 full time employees and for your information, I'm AWS certified in TIG in exotic metals.Wow.... You must need a trip to the eye doctor as you can't seem to read.
Oh well you can't fix blind. Next time use your welding helmet instead of sunglasses.
Buying Bullets for China means you are supporting their military by purchasing that country's goods. Duh.
They have a decent warranty, go look. Yes, you can buy an extended warranty at HF but it ain't cheap. YesWelder is stocked in US so little waiting, was on porch in 3 days.
So you want to compare sizes.... mines bigger!!!
With 250 amps of current, don't see that. Just 170 for that HF...
I'm sure you can get it hot some other way.
And pulse modes...
Oh yah bring it on!
And lift tig/stick options too if you want... Interesting option, but I use real TIG machines when I want TIG.
So go and play with your Chinese Harbor Freight toy. I'll be burning .035" running at 225 amps as fast as I can till I run out of wire. While your waiting for your 160amp / 25% duty cycle to cool off.
Im sure that you can go back to HF and buy something else. That will make you happy....
How about go and buy a HF plasma cutter??? But don't even get me started on HF's plasma prices!
Enjoy!
Have you even tried it? That one lot that was an issue was like 15 years ago now, I'm pretty sure that's all out of the stores... I've used Lincoln, Forney, two versions of HFT and assuming you have an idea of how the welders work you can work around it... one of the main issues is on the A/C cheapo fulx core welders they have too much voltage for .030" wire and weld like garbage with that, switch to .035" wire and use the settings wrong (change wire speed for temp, more wire colder which is backward) and you can deal with it...
