On a preparation run, before hurricane sandy, to purchase a gas can, and some tweco style contact tips and flux core mig wire for my 185sg spool gun and welding project, my local box store had next almost nothing in stock. A short ride to ace hardware and i was reddy to go welding, and prepared for the storm.
TIP: when all run to the big CHEAP store, run the other way, and get what you need, including mig welder contact tips,gas nozzle, mig wire and more at ACE HARDWARE. = SHARE ROCKNTV1
