let me clarify. stick welding is not precise enough for the automotive field. I also think its unfair to say that those who knock stick welding "dont have a clue". for welding pipes and large pieces of metal, its great. but for sheet metal, aluminum and roll cage tubing, its not really an option.
I personally have no intentions of welding up household or industrial plumbing, so that type of welding is useless to me.
