If the welder and helmet both work, it is an OK deal. However, for a few hundred more, you can get a Hobart Handler 145 (made by Miller). I had one that lasted about 15 years. I upgraded to a Miller last year and listed the Hobart on Craig's List for $150. It sold almost immediately, for full asking price. Flux core welding is harder to do well on sheet metal, and it can get messy.
