A MIG welder is an electric welder that's the easiest of all to use
0:05
You can learn to use one in about 30 minutes or so. The claim to fame is that it's got an energized wire, thin wire, that comes out of the handle
0:13
you hold. So you don't have to worry about feeding another welding rod into the welding zone
0:19
It does that automatically. Some MIG welders can also shield the weld area with an inert gas, which makes for a
0:27
really great looking weld. I like MIG welders a lot and that's why I built my course around that
0:34
You don't get too close to the metal when you're starting a weld
0:37
You just get close enough, maybe half an inch or so. You pull the trigger, the energized wire automatically advances and when it gets close to the metal
0:47
it creates an arc and you start welding. Super easy to use

I don't know what I'd do without my MIG welder
