The guy I bought it from got it free and then tried to run flux core wire with it set up for solid.
Hmm.It runs however I haven't had a chance to weld with it yet. The other guy had it sittin' in the corner of his shop cause it matched all his other SO memorabilia and he'd never used it in the 3 years he'd owned it. I've known two people with Snap-On MIG welders.one guy said the only d*&$&^# thing the SO welder was good for was a boat anchor. Recently I bought about $200 worth of Kobalt sockets/ratchets so that I'd have a second set of tools-one at the farm and one in town at the shop-and have been very impressed with them so far. As for me, I ate the $150 and have stuck with Craftsman and Stanley ever since. Anyway, he never showed up again, which ended up being a good thing 'cause my shop supervisor (Yamaha/SeaDoo Dealership) called the MAC tools guy, chucked his $2500 worth of Snap-On tools (this was before eBay, obviously), and bought all new MAC stuff. Kinda convenient since he had them on there to begin with. The Snap-On guy came back, I told him my problems, and he promised he'd be back with the replacements in a week. Within a month, two of the sockets were broken (hairline cracks) and the gears were stripped on the ratchet. In the end, I paid $150 for a 3/8" ratchet and 12 sockets to fit. Then he wanted to sell me $500 worth of his tools for $450. Jim DonThis same thing happened to me: the Snap-On truck guy offered to buy my Craftsman and Stanley tools from me (about $500 worth) for $100. They melt them down in the pot and re-use the metal to re-cast another one. They just send the tool to whoever has the contract to make the tools for them at the time. Dealers or stores don't really lose out on this switch out. Never had that at Sears when I've taken Craftsman (not Companion) hand tools in to be switched out.
They won't repair or replace because they are too OLD. He ever went one step further above the local truck dealer and they still told him no deal. He is mad as hello about this and is telling everybody he can about how Snap-On screwed him over. What the heh? I thought they had a lifetime replacement policy if any of their stuff broke. Snap-On dealer told him they were NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY.
He had a couple ratchets break and some other (I don't remember exactly what it was) pieces that needed repair or replacement. My buddy has a boatload of Snap-On tools. Maybe Snap-On needs to change to Crap-On instead of calling Craftsman, Crapsman.
