Sometimes you have to spend the money to have proper tools. It ain't fun spending tons of $$$ but cheap welders are, well, cheap, and won't penetrate deep enough. I have a 110 and I can crank it up, bevel edges, make sure material is clean, and make multiple passes, but it still is not a 220 and I wouldn't use it for sliders, cages, bumpers, etc that I want to hold.

Is it time for me to jump into this welder debate 
??
No one is arguing that 220 isn't superioir to 110, but you boys tend to make it seem as if it is dangerous to use 110 on anything other than cosmetic sheet metal repairs and arts and crafts. I have used my lincoln 125 on cages, multiple sliders, bumpers, SOAs, shock mounts, roof racks, etc. and tested them rigorously(rollovers and flops
) in the field without out a single falure. The dangerous part of the equation isn't the wleder it's self so much as the person doing the welding.
but yes Gabe do not buy any serious tools from Habor Frieght..... atleast get a lincoln or something similiar

Back on the welder thing...$1000 isn't that much when you get the gas, regulator, bottle, helmet, grinders, and then the welder. you can have that much in a cheeper one.
National wanted $325 for the bottle, regulator, and gas for mine.

If I can remember correctly I've seen shocks actually fall off your vehicles. And your one rollover caused your roll cage to push through your wheel well. Your were extremely lucky to have survived.
I'd rather have to big of a welder than to small. Not that you can't make a low amp welder work. But non of us have the skills or training to do it right.
I wouldn't even consider a 120 v welder for something like a roll age.

The shocks did happen, but that was because I was in a hurry to finish my spring over and I merely tacked the rears in place and forgot to fully welded them.... see my above comment about the "dangerous" part of the equation when welding.
The roll cage did not fail the tub did due to rust
Regardless your argument has no merit or facts all you do is try to mock or discredit anyone that speaks against you, that is fine. I was merely trying to help save Gabe from spending a huge chunk of change on a welder that was over kill for welding up sliders or really anything else he would use it for. Just because according to you guys anything else would be suicide
So to rehash is 220 better absolutely, is it necessary for Gabes situation NO
