[QUOTE="mudgee hunter, post: 563230, member: 9124"] Small inverter stick welders are fantastic! Smooth DC arc! Even the Aldi ones handle 3.25 rods with ease. $100! But inverter welders need HEAPS of KVA to run them from a generator, compared to old style stick welders. Or you will burn them out quickly! I bought a Pilot K11 air compressor 20 years ago. ($1000) then Must have a thousand hours on it. And only just now the rings are showing wear, letting crank oil up into the top end, then the tank...air lines... etc. Not good when spraying paint. So I will get exactly the same unit again next week. And strip the working top half off for spares, flush the tank out. And use the tank as an inline reservoir. Aussie company too! Impoterted parts. Italy.. bit of China etc. Great tool to have. Reservoir tanks are very handy to have when using high CFM tools, like dye grinder and air drills etc. [/QUOTE]
