Spend around 500 on one. Don't bother going cheaper, you'll end up spending that much anyway in the end or more lol. For the money, problem free, best starter Mig w/optional shielding gas kit, easy to learn. Yea, the Lincoln easy mig 140 is still the cheapest in that category. Cheaper than the Hobart/miller and Miller.

I like MIG.... wish mine did gas though.

I used my MIG to patch a hole in this pan.... worked out OK with some copper to use as a fence.

Here you go, Whitey - https://meatball.thatdailydeal.com/f...k.php?id=63022

BTW, you may already know this, but C-to-C is required for the high-current fast charging to work.

Couldn't get the 22 to tether/hot spot a connection. Attempted hardline as well USB C to A. Didn't work either. So much for using it with a home provider outage I guess..bummer.

Is tethering included in your plan, Brew? If so, there should be no problem getting it to work on the S22. I have it active on both my work phone and personal.

Think so, not totally sure. Haven't thought about that. Well, hang on..........might of nailed it Ohio. Have the unlimited but, shoot this might take awhile lol. Good question, seems like it would let me know when I made the attempt. I mean, everything seemed to work. I'll see if I can figure that out without calling them... Yea, thanx for that..never came to mind.

Yea, every seemed to work...but neither device recognized the other. Thought it may have a security thing...not that I find.

What white posted a few weeks should of worked, quote, -

"Yeah, I've used it to stream Plex while traveling.On the Android OS, go to Settings>Connections>Mobile Hotspot and Tethering. Then turn the Mobile Hotspot slider to "on". After it's on, tap the words "Mobile Hotspot" and it will let you set up an SSID and Password. Then just hook whatever to it, and roll! "

Easy manipulate phone settings. Device 1: Desk Top. Phone wasn't present in the network list. 2. Big screen: same thing. Both of those devices use a hardline normally (Ethernet). All that shouldn't matter. Haven't attempted the LT yet, most recent machine..perhaps that will detect it....wireless.

Okay...alright, I'll see what I can figure out from the provider...you're are probably right Ohio.

For giggles, I just turned the Hotspot on, and that is what I am posting this with on my laptop. Kinda funny, it brought over the SSID and credentials from my S10.
