It cost $80.00 on sale and works very well. Made by iit or Illinois Industrial Tool. It’s has a heavy base not sheet metal. And a heavy duty clamp. You don’t see the clamp in this picture. I removed it and added my own invention. It worked great. Here I’m cutting the frame rail for a 1/18 scale drop deck semi trailer. I give this tool 4 out of 5 for a new product. I’ll add another review after a year of home hobby use and we’ll see how it holds up.

New in 2003.

My Sear Craftsman welder. It’s a 90 Amp 110 Volt Mig welder. Works great for all my welding needs. I use gas with it. And I can weld 20 gauge sheet metal to 3/16 solid steel. That’s everything I’ll ever need for my shop. You can see my helmet there too. I have an auto darkening helmet. That is almost a must for welding those small parts. I seem to move alot when I use a standard helmet. Then I end up welding the parts to the work bench. I give it a 5 out of 5 as new and a 5 out of 5 as 2 years old. Review date 2/4/06

This is my trusty belt sander. I purchased this from Grizzly Tool on-line about 3 years ago and it’s never missed a beet. This tool is a 5 STAR in my book. It was under $40.00 and I use it daily. This is a must and is somthing you could ask for X-Mass or Birthday..
