That is awesome, I got a Hobart ez125 and it works great on the thicker metal but burns through muffler pipes or thin gauge stuff if you don't weld fast. I will be welding up the muffler pipe to the flange on my wifes blue buggy because it broke off this weekend. We were about 6 miles from camp in a sand wash and it broke right at the weld. This happened to my buggy two years ago same spot. Having my own welder I can fix it without looking for some one to fix it for 25 bucks.

I am glad we had our 20ft tow strap, it took about 45 minuets to get back at about 10mph crawl, with one stop to let my buggy cool down a bit.

As for welding clean welds I still have a long way to go, but the flux core welders weld hot and strong.

Happy birthday and happy welding (:
