$450 is a decent one, it's the $100 ones (or there abouts) you need to watch out for. I guess being a former boilermaker I am used to the simple old school ones, using the head flick to bring how the protective lens before I strike the arc.
What I hate are those who weld near roads and don't put up screens (even a tarp does the trick) to protect others from flashes. I had a neighbour who used to do that where I used to live, very annoying hen driving past.
Mind you that price was when they first came out, I had an opportunity to by a Mig[ now sits idle]
I love my new inverter welder and my Trans -Arc is retired as well unless I need some serious penertration.
Maybe Im old school but I prefer stick welding, any position
