I am guessing from what you have said that these boxes will work on an Ac or DC welder either one? He had it on an ac weder for aluminum. I have a portable welder that is DC only and goes up to 250 amps. Could run the leads in the shop and use that. The bad part is that I have seen lots of Big welde...

After thinking about it the 6" steel rule and 0-6" dial caliper would be the most used. With a center gauge for threading set up, hieght gauge and surface plate for lay out next.Been collecting tools for over 30 years still dont think you can have to many. Good luck Clark
