[AT] spot welder

[Larry Goss]

Yes, John.  I used one similar to the Harbor Freight style when you could still get them as "Made in America".  The one I used was 110 volt, but it was also water cooled.  I wasn't using it for production work, so the water-cooled function was unneccessary.  I used it for repairing spot welds on all sorts of things -- sheet metal, wire grids like shopping carts, etc.  I needed to adjust the clamping force with the power off, but it did a good job.
