Yep. I also found out the welding sticks they provided are crap for creating arcs so I bought some us forge 5/64" Eazy Strike Rod-7014, and some 1/16" 6013's for better contact. I'm actually pretty happy with it and will fix some of the gaps on the front end once the new rods get here.I also jumped on the 2yr extended service plan for 14.99 considering the first welder. They refund or replace it in the first 2 years, no questions asked.
