A neat gift idea!

For me, anyway.
I went to the welding supply store today, and there was this little red thingy, a bit larger than a lunchbox.
I had to ask if the decimal point was in the right place, and they assured me that it was……….$3200.00!
I also had to ask what it was, exactly. It is a cordless welder! They said you could weld for hours with it.
It appeared to be strictly a stick welder. The brand name is Frontius, evidentally a big name company in Europe.

It sure appears that the prices for gases and everything else in that store has gone up, a LOT!

Frontious? Sounds more like behindayourass...

You could gas weld for days with the monster old WWII acetylene generator that was in the corner of the metal working shop at school.  I got to clean it out a time or two.  OSHA would pucker if they ever saw that thing.

Pucker is the understatement of the day!

I didn’t ask enough questions, but, this little welder has to have enough batteries in it to be quite dangerous, too!
