Stay away from Yeswelders nice little machine but no parts support.
I had a problem with reverse outputs on my yeswelder mig205d, they sent me a new machine within 3 days, I fixed the original one and sold it. Support is very good, they are aggresive in keeping complaints down.
If your motherboard blows they will ship a new one no problem.

I bought the "hyper tough" extended reach 12v elec ratchet at walmart, $59.
Can't afford the milwaukee at x4 the cost.
I already have the regular length milwaukee FUEL version and its a gem.
A big drawback with the walmart tool is it takes 5 hours to charge.
Its slow and not as strong, but I think it will be usefull for oil changes and hard to reach areas.
No charge station, just a wall wort that connects the battery.
I charged it on the concrete floor in the garage, can't trust cheap lithiums.
33 ft lb torque (sure i believe you )
200 rpm.

I usually throw cases right in the trash.

I drilled 4 x 1/2 holes in my old garage concrete floor to mount a tire changer using a regular M18 drill and bosch concrete bit. Took a while but it got it done.
Later I bought a vevor rotary SDS drill and that did a great job in the same floor, I also used the vevor elec jackhammer to take the floor out, then the rotary hammer drill to drill holes for rebar all around the edging of the old floor, both tools worked very well. Obviously not milwaukee quality but good project tools.

For commercial use I'd go Milwaukee.

A picture would help, is it one of these ?

Kill it now, cut it down later.

rebuild the carb,...again.
drop it in a solvent can or ultrasound it, run wire through ports and jets or you'll be doing it again.

Impact Driver-
I need to smack the side almost evetime I use it to get to work. I wondering what it needs to work normally.
Send it in or open it up and find out.
Could be the battery terminals too, not necessarily the tool innards.

It will have to be shipped back to australia.

I’ve been interested in welding for a few years now but have been putting off actually doing anything because of machine costs and a general lack of time. I’m finally ready to actually put in the time and money, but could use some information.
What type of welding would you suggest someone new learn?
I’m leaning towards Mig because it seems like the easiest on the hands since it feeds through a gun and all of the videos on Mig welding say it’s pretty easy to do with enough practice. It also has the benefit of letting me use shielding gas or skipping it and using flux core.
Stick welding really doesn’t appeal to me because there are so many types of electrodes, if you want the electrodes to perform at their best people say to buy a rod oven, and it just looks clunky like trying to sign your name while holding the very backend of a giant novelty pen.
Tig welding seems interesting, but also confusing because of lift start, high frequency, pulse, and AC/DC.
What are your thoughts on the Everlast Power i-Mig 140E?
http://www.everlastgenerators.com/product/mig/power-i-mig-140e
It’s the Mig machine I’m leaning towards because it’s inexpensive and I’ve seen a lot of people use Everlast machines recently. All I have to do to use flux core is install different rollers. It runs on 120v and sounds like a good starter machine based on their recommended uses.
What do you wear to weld?
I see people wearing helmets, gloves, and welding jackets while others seem to skip the jacket for long sleeves and maybe a leather apron. I would assume jeans are probably the go to for pants.
I started with a lincoln 120v mig, used for $200, wish I didn't sell it.
It was very easy to use.
Moved on and bought a chinese AC/DC stick/tig/plasma cutter.
I reach for the stick most of the time, its a joy when you just need a quick fixit job.
Today I would buy a 240/120 switchable machine, I like multi function, everlast is good value.
I don't have 240 in my garage so I use a heavy rubber 240v extension I bought from an electrician.($50).
It works perfectly fine but I don't use it when the grass is wet or raining.
Its worth it to have 240v, I would NOT buy a 120v machine again.
You can dial amps down but can't go above what isn't available.
