There are a lot of welders on the market sold as "MIG" that use a flux
covered wire. These are sold as "gasless MIG" welders. Actually, if
anyone wants to get technical, the "MIG" welding process is Gas Metal
Arc Welding (GMAW).

Don't they all? I mean, I don't know a lot about welding, but I know that the
"IG" in MIG stands for "inert gas".
A welder without a shield gas isn't MIG, it's something else, right?
