Hello again to everyone, hope you all had a good weekend.
I am about to buy a welder so I have some questions.

1 = I have used a mig welder plenty of times but it has allways had a gas bottle, I have seen gasless mig welders for sale on e-bay and am wondering if the gasless ones are as easy to use as the type that use gas.

2= Is there a different type of wire that is used with gasless?

3= I have never used a tig welder but am open to the option of getting one of these, are they harder to use?

4= Are all tig welders required to use gas?

I would prefer a gasless welder as the cost to hire a bottle is approx $120.00 per year and I really wont use it much.

The only things I can think of that I will use it for are, welding headers together, welding mounts to side pipes, makeing a seat base for passengers seat, steering shaft mount.

I have a mig at my disposal at work but I am getting tired of taking it to work when I want to weld something, and I am sure the apprentices are getting sick of pushing it in and out all the time.

Any pearls of wisdom are welcomed
