Check Out Eastwood’s Huge Liquidation Sale ![Eastwood welding gear.]() *\Eastwood\  * [Eastwood.com]() is a great place to buy tools and garage gear, especially if you're looking for something a little more specialized than what's on the rack at AutoZone and maybe a little more high-quality than some wares at Harbor Freight. This week it's having a [warehouse liquidation sale]() promising "extreme savings" and "epic deals." I poked around and found myself a little inspired by some of the welder listings. I haven't welded since I took a shop class in 2006, but it's high on my list of skills I'd like to acquire. If you share a similar dream, you're probably on the lookout for cheap welders, too. Here are some cheaper rig options marked down to about $500 and even less, potentially saving you hundreds. Just make sure you do a little research first to confirm if you should be starting with TIG or MIG welding, and to see how much power you'll need. Broadly speaking, MIG is the move for learning and starting out. If you're not sure how much power you need, Eastwood has a handy guide on [how to select a MIG welder](). This MIG 180 unit, which can run off 120 or 240 volts and weld steel up to 5/16th thick, seems like a great all-around option for getting into the craft and it comes with a $50 rebate on future purchases even after this big $100.02 discount. I found a few more related sale items on Eastwood's site that might catch your interest as well, take a look. [Eastwood 140 Amp MIG Welder]() for $349.97 (save $50.02) [Eastwood 180 Amp MIG Welder with Included Spool Gun]() for $549.97 (save $100.02) [Eastwood 200 Amp DC TIG Welder]() for $449.98 (save $150.01) [Eastwood Versa Cut 40 Amp Plasma Cutter]() for $549.97 (save $100.02) And on top of all that, [MIG welding gloves]() and a book on [Farm and Workshop Welding]() are also on sale. ## Author As Executive Editor, Andrew touches everything on the site from daily news coverage to feature stories, sponsored content, product reviews, road testing vehicles, ecommerce, and more.
