Not that I need one, nor that I know how to use it, but looks like a very useful tool for just the price of a microwave.

From my knowledge and experience in the electrical field, that spot welder is just so unsafe. To start with, encasing electrical equipment in a combustible enclosure is assinine. Then there is the lack of ventilation for the transformer. The loose, unprotected wiring to the micro-switch is also unsafe. Sometimes I think there really needs to be a you-tube censor.
 
From my experience in the paint field one has to isolate electrical from vapor, this is easily accomplished by belt driven units and explosion proof lighting
 
Just open up the battery box on your rig and hook up a set of jumper cables.
At the other end of the set of cables, clamp one of them to what your welding and the other to a section of steel coat hanger.
There. I fixed it.
