Would this thing be any good for mufflers etc or anything at all.  All I have still is a stick welder for emergency repairs.

110 century wire feed welder

I had a Hobart 185 110v basically the same machine from what I can tell.  Used flux coated or solid wire w/argon/co2.  It does a pretty good job on 1/4" and down metal.  1/4" is MAX unless you V and make multiple passes.  Should be good for mufflers.  I bought a Hobart 250 and sold the 185.

The Century brand came from Farm & Fleet or TSC?

What would something like that one go for used? Says works but I never messed with one before to know what to check.

I can get a small likable saw and that for 1 price.

I did not see a flex shaft in your list.   I would add that with an assortment of burrs.
