So I am about to purchase a welder for some exhaust needs and some body work needs. trying to see if this 120v mig will do or if I should double up and get the 120v/240v tig.
the mig I'm looking at.

the style tig im looking at
https://www.eastwood.com/tig200acdc.html
I'm not necessarily going with eastwood just the basic style/ratings and this is easy to compare with.
I have not welded too much, I braze all the time (HVAC) so tig I'm kind of good at just fooling around with my buddies. I used a mig back when I was 16-18 at step dads shop putting in floor pans/ trunk pans, haven't since. I just don't know if a 120v welder will do everything I need. I have read from number of places it will do just fine, but at the same time other (pro) welders say it wont be. Not sure. any input would be nice.
