Oh yeah! The bay bridge. My friend's dad works for Caltrans as an engineer and has something to do with building that section. They have come a long way since it first started even though I think they are past the deadline.

Cool thing is, the Dad promised to give me and his son a tour when near completion before the grand opening! Its on my list along with a Police Ride Along with our neighbor. The City of San Francisco has some interesting police stories.

I worked on the estimate for the first phase, but retired before my company was awarded the contract. One billion, 316 million, and some change. I think they got the first 3-phases.

Deereman! Very cool! I am glad you are liking the unit. Let me know if you get chance to post some pics. The StickWeld is a very popular model for us! With the special we ran, there will be a few more reviews up shortly!

I am hoping to get someone into a plasma cutter!


If you have another special like that I would be in a plasma :thumbsup:

StickWeld 250 Review

Pro's:
At the Power Output of 250 Amps DC, it is a light weight and compact unit.
Awesome Duty Cycle ratings
Dinse connectors make changing polarity and adding a lead for more reach easy.
Copper contacts on the ground clamp

Con's:
Manual could be improved


Purchased to replace my stolen stick machine. The discount made it a great opportunity to get back my stick welding capabilities. Biggest problem, as with anything, I now want more stuff for it. As in 25' and 50' work leads, 160 amp whip, 50' of 8 gauge power cord, large selection of electrodes and a modified hand truck to tote it all around.

I wanted a handle for mine so I made me one. It slides into existing slots on the front and rear covers which required no modification to the machine. Material used was 1/8"x1-1/2" flat, 1/2" pipe and 3ea 1/8" 6011 rods. The flat bar needed to be ground thinner so it would easily slide into the cover slots.

I am a Happy Camper... much more welder than I needed!

Good review, glad your happy. I love my stickweld 250, I am going to burn a few more pounds of rods before I write my review.
