i dont think duct tape works very well for fixing things, its only VERY temporary and welder, as you said, can be expensive.

Well if you put a lot of duct tape on it should work pretty well!
Thank you for your comments

Begin now putting money into a jar for a welder. There are so many parts, repairs, and improvisations you can make with a welder. Another very handy tool for troubleshooting and repairing household items is a volt-ohmeter. Having and learning how to use both of these is a tremendous advantage.

i agree, multi-meters are extremely useful, you can see if there is volitage coming from things or, using the ohm-meter see if their is broken connections in electronics, very handy

I did "the wrong thing" in that many years ago I asked for a small oxygen-propane torch that used burning one inch cylinders of strange stuff to make oxygen. It was crude and only hot enough for light, quick brazing. Many years passed. I bought a 115 volt AC welder with a 50 and a 70 amp setting. It was a help, but I soon realized I needed more power. I bought a used 220 volt stick welder. After about 10 years with it I bought a 115 volt flux core wire feed welder. As many advise, the best thing would be to decide what you want, get the money together and buy a welder once. In the end I certainly would have spent a lot less money. Still, I was glad to have whatever I could afford when I was able to afford it. Each advanced what I was able to do beyond what I had been able to do before.
