Scotty Kilmer, mechanic for the last 47 years, shows why you might think about buying an arc welder to use for car repairs Simple, basic machines that use electricity to weld metal together. Why buy an expensive new part when you can weld back together a broken one? A couple hundred bucks spent on a good welder can save you a ton in repairs.

I hate to say anything negative, about this obvious car wizard, but This is a very broad topical video, just enough to get a novice in trouble; and put your self in a lot of potential danger. Arc Welders, maybe for structural problems, but, MiG/TiG is more universally used.
stick to being a mechanic because you know nothing of welding
Scotty, as a welder, your as much use as an ejector seat in a helicopter. Steve wonder could weld better than you, you were obviously doing the morse code form of welding, dit dit dash, dit dit dash, comedy gold.
Any thoughts about stick welding in automotive??
Storing rods in a refrigerator is a bad idea. Once they are pulled out to use in the outside temperature, moisture will start to appear just like anything else you pull out of a refrigerator. Welding rods and moisture do not mix well together. It ruins the flux on the rod and causes holes (porosity) to appear in the welds making the weld insufficient.
Solar panels in the welding hood do net darken the lens. The light sensors do that. The solar panels re-charge the battery in the welding hood.
Why are you always yelling?
I always thought welding with rods would burn holes through car sheet metal… right?
Would be great for at home use if it worked… but my feeling about this, is that it's not the correct type of welding.
200 bucks for a welder? that seems ridiculously cheap. especially compared to a miller welder.

Stick to cars. Leave the welding to someone else.
