Been looking at picking up a welder, and now that I've got the garage cleaned up and organized the wife gave me the OK to pick one up (jokes on her, garage will look like shit again in a week, hah!) The main features I've been looking at have been 110v and the ability to do both gas and flux cored, unless someone tells me that just flux cored will be fine for things like sheet metal, exhaust, etc. Don't see myself needing to weld anything bigger than 1/4" or so.

I've been eyeing the Hobart Handler 140 for a while.

Comes with the regulator and is pretty much ready for gas or flux cored. There's a welding shop a few minutes from the house that I could go grab a bottle from.

I've also looked at this little Lincoln welder that's available from Lowes.

Seems similar to the Hobart, just a few bucks more.

One of the reasons I'm looking at Lowes is because I've got a pretty good chunk of gift cards to there. They also sell Amazon gift cards there, so if I go with the Hobart I can use my Lowes gift cards to pick up some Amazon cards.

Are there any other welders I should be looking at? I like the convenience of being able to use a standard 110v outlet, but it's not out of the question to install a 220v outlet if these welders don't stack up. I'd just like to have the convenience of being able to use a standard plug.
