The compact welder is small enough to store just about anywhere in a vehicle and is easy to use, making it a great choice for emergency repairs on the trail. We've carried a Ready Welder around for a while and have had it packed under a front seat, bungee-corded to a fenderwell, and stuffed into an Action Packer. The versatility of the MIG gun also makes it a great welder for home and shop because it can be powered by AC current and used as a spool gun when connected to a welding machine. We found the Ready Welder to be a dependable trail welder in remote locations.
