Did you actually <i>need</i> a welder before you watched that show? Were you actively looking at different welders and weighing up their features vs. costs?<p>If so, had you considered the possibilities of <i>hiring</i> a welder for those seldom&#x2F;rare occasions you need one? Or just paying someone to do the occasional bit of welding you might need done? (I am assuming, maybe incorrectly, that since you don&#x27;t already own a welder, you are not someone who actually has high demand for welding at present. Perhaps you&#x27;re planning some future activities that imply &quot;<i>lots of welding</i>&quot;.)<p>If you were <i>not</i> actively Welder Shopping, then their advertising worked, didn&#x27;t it?
