I am starting my shop where I will flip cars needing "minor" repairs, and the thing that is slowing me down the most is stripped bolts. I want a welder that I can use to weld, a cheap allen socket to a stripped torx bolt, or a fresh nut onto a rounded off bolt. I've a few bolts I need to do, but I have to do it as cheap as possible since I spent SO much on things to get these bolts out without them working.
I am looking at a 79.99 stick welder from northern tool, or I can rent a flux wirefeed without gas for four hours for 39.99.
That said for now I don't have any experience actually welding, but I will buy a nice MIG for building a race car, in a few months. I just can't afford it till I sell a car or two.
FOR THE SAKE OF ARGUEMENT, LETS ASSUME I CAN'T BOLT-OUT, DRILL OR CUT THIS BOLT DUE TO IT BEING RECESSED. I CANNOT PUT A SOCKET ON THIS BOLT BECAUSE THERE IS NO ROOM FOR SOCKET WALLS. THIS IS WHY IT IS AN ALLEN BOLT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Sorry about that, I'm tired of asking this question and getting advice unrelated to welding, advice that I can't use because the bolt is recessed, ect. ect. Here is the link for the cheap NT welder, will it do what I need. Weld stuff onto bolts so I can get them out? Thats all I need a welder for right now.

either that or cheap wirefeed using flux.
Or would a product like this alumiweld be better for me. http://www.alumiweld.com/h2uaw.html I find it hard to believe aluminum would stay hard enough, in as many places as I get stripped bolts to work though.
Thank you, I am ready to pull the trigger TODAY, cause I need that Mercedes GONE.
I NEED A PERMANENT SOLUTION TO THIS ONGOING PROBLEM I SPENT 300 DOLLARS THIS WEEK OR TOOLS, BITS AND ADAPTERS THAT DID NOT WORK.
please for the love of god some one actually help me.
