For the price of the “good” tiedowns you can buy a small wire-feed welder, some pieces of square tube and flat stock, and make some and still have money left over. And now you have a welder
That doesn't make one a welder. I had 6 certifications from 40 years ago including 7018 LH overhead but purchased Torklift tie downs. That experience recognized quality products.
Correct, but some folks like to humble brag about their skills.
We all know it makes zero sense for someone like the OP who doesn’t even hint at being a welder AND who is living full time in a TC to buy a welder. And if they did, they’d need a shop and other tools, not conducive to living in a TC or apartment on in inner city street.
But we should be proud of burningmetal......I mean burningman for his skillz.
And other folks, who shall remain nameless but whose initials are “Grit Dog”, like to throw rocks at people who are willing to get out there and do a thing or two instead of buy everything pre-made at whatever price.
I’m so glad you’re here. You’re a real asset. And I mean 3/5th of that.
