I don't weld (yet), but I've been thinking this might be the way I'll go as well.

Unfortunately, this is not the case. A Ready-Welder, being a DC based device cannot be operated using an AC 'buzzbox' type welder as it's power supply. If you buy one with the expectation of being able to run it from an old tombstone welder with AC only output you're in for a disapointment.

On batteries it's a pretty neat welder.
