The Thunder 255 also gives the user a broad range of functions, features as well as a wide range of adjustment not found on other welders in this welder class.  It is also additionally supported long term with Everlast's Platinum 5 year warranty and is further backed with a 3 year shipping coverage protection if warranty support is ever needed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a built in wire feeder, the Thunder 255 functions well as both a standard MIG (Short Arc and Spray) and a Pulsed Spray MIG (Single Pulse) welder with function selections for both.  In addition, this model also has selections for FCAW and FCAW-P (Self-Shielded Flux Core and Gas Shielded Flux-Core) wires.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures \u0026amp;
