For my 2 cents worth, I prefer my teenie weenie $80 with coupon 110volt HF stick welder over my crapsman/Century 110v wirefeed. Flux core doesn't work to well for old metal, the gas is more expensive that it is worth, and the gas won't work outside in the wind anyway so it is basically an inside shop welder and you already have one. It takes some practice to get good penetration with a wire welder as it tends to lay a lot of metal down before it melts into what you are welding especially on thicker stuff.
With an extension cord, I can take the weenie welder out to fix a gate or whatever with 1/16" and 3/32" rod in either 6011 or 7018. I've experimented a little with 1/8" rod as well but it takes more control as it tends to stick.
The weenie welder works for me and the wire didn't. Everybody else's mileage may vary.
