Good point. Gave away my 240v 80# 225a buzzbox, weighs more than the
entry MIGs, takes 240v 50a. The HF 70a unit (120v?) is probably ok for
rebar tacks with 1/16" rods, but I think wouldn't do 2" sch 40 corner
post braces or used drill pipe. Can't beat buzzboxes for cheap. Takes
a bit more skill though, unless ugly is ok.

I'd say a stick welder is even lighter and easier. A small "buzzbox" stick is
about 30 pounds, costs about 80 dollars, and your done

Flux core is the easiest, cheapest, and lightest way to weld in the
field e.g. for fence posts in the pasture with a generator on the back
of the ATV or Gator. The entry MIG setups also don't have a regulator
in the kit although the Miller and others have the shield gas plumbing
and valve inside.
