When repairing my car I snapped a bolt in an awkward place. This really sucked.
Worse, so many of the "guy in a garage" youtubers were like "Yeah luckily I already have the engine block out..."
Or "Grab your handy dandy lathe..."
"Super easy you guys, just get your welding torch..."
Welder isn't too crazy of a tool. It's usually more like, get your 3d printer AND your welder AND your CNC AND your drill press AND your table saw plus a million other hyper specific gadgets.
Who doesn't have an edm cutting machine and a metal sintering 3d printer in the cupboard under the stairs?
I'm sure you can get both in a bundle on wish for 14.99
I mean if you have space for them, those are obviously good tools to save up for.
When I bought a welder I started noticing all these shitty fixes I had done that would be so much better welded. It paid itself off in the first week.
Even the $150 harbor freight welder is a game changer for anyone who makes or works on things.
