menace121978 · 01-06-2010, 07:53 AM

so here is the deal. i got a BRAND NEW snap-on 135 mig welder http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item....re&dir=catalog , cart, welding gloves, valve for tank, radnor helmet, 2# spool of wire, and he threw in a used snap-on angle grinder all for $600.

i also picked up a cherry picker and load leveler from a neighbor(just borrowing) so i dont have to hear it from Gerald

hope to get some progress this weekend!(tomorrow)

mcbassin · 01-06-2010, 09:05 AM

SMOKIN DEAL! on the welder! Wow!

I think you will love that rig.
Craiglist is awesome if you have your timing just right...most times all the best deals I can't get because I'm too far from the metro OKC area by the time I get off work.....already sold.

JohnC · 01-06-2010, 10:10 AM

That's awesome Dennis!

ryguythayer · 01-06-2010, 10:37 AM

thats badass im in the market for one right now!!

**nlped** · 01-06-2010, 11:15 AM

That's awesome!!! I'm trying to score a wire welder & a plasma cutter myself.

JohnC · 01-06-2010, 11:17 AM

Man plasma cutters are WAY cool. I used my uncles the other day doing a little fabrication on the truck, and that is just awesome!!!!! So easy, and so quick.

silvereagle07 · 01-06-2010, 01:11 PM

Nice SCORE Dennis! Craigslist is the best if you have patience.

menace121978 · 01-06-2010, 06:28 PM

thanks guys! ya, patience... ive been looking for over 10 months!

cant wait to try it out. hope its as smooth as the miller 140 i used in class last year.

54Caddy · 01-06-2010, 08:56 PM

shoot i think im going to have to help you try out that welder, lets get shaving my bed, hahahaha, when would be a good time for me to cruise by and check out the truck, i have sunday off.

LiveAnimals · 01-06-2010, 11:30 PM

Driveway Dreams · 01-08-2010, 12:51 AM

Nice score Dennis!

I used to know who made the welders for snap-on, but I forgot now. Hope it works well for you man. Progress is good.

joe231 · 01-08-2010, 01:46 AM

I was thinkin' they were Lincoln.

I think Mac or Matco (or both) are miller.

menace121978 · 01-08-2010, 10:21 AM

i was wondering the same. i asked the guy and he said he thought it was lincoln. it says made in italy if that helps the search...

and thanks guys!!

54Caddy · 01-08-2010, 09:40 PM
