HF Spot welder

Harbour Freight has a Spot welder on sale for $149. It can be used with material up to 3/16" thick according to the Ad.
Is anyone familiar with this tool and if so what is your opinion of its capabilities.
Would it be powerfull enough to attach bolsters to liners for folding knives as well as full tang knives?

I've never used a spot welder, any and all information would be appreciated.

SPOT WELDER

I HAVE THE HF 220 SPOT WELDER AND IT DOES A FINE JOB.
I WOULD RECOMMEND THE 220 VOLT.

CONSIDER THE 220 VOLT VERSION BECAUSE IT HAS MORE
POWER.

The one I saw advertised was a 220 Volt unit. I'll make sure I get that one.
