Reddit reviews C.M.T Pitbull Ultra-Portable 100-Amp Electric Arc Welder - 110V

Here's the two I was looking at; sounds like the stick welder is the way to go for beginners and is cheaper to operate.

• Amazon: Stick Welder
  
• Amazon: Wire Welder

i've been using this chinese Pitbull since January and done several projects with it, as a starting welder that runs 110v it's been fantastic. Stick welders like this are basically one big giant transformer and while it may be light on features it makes things stick to other things....and that's what i bought it for.

I wonder if it's an arc welder. Something like this perhaps
