Stud welders are the way to go. There are a few sizes of studs. The smaller
ones are for sheet metal. The larger ones are for pulling out B post areas and
heavier metal. Sometimes the studs can be broken off with pliers but sometimes
the plier removal method leaves a hole in the sheetmetal. I prefer to grind
them off to minimize the need to weld a hole closed. A huge improvement over
the drill a hole and insert the slide hammer method because you don't wind up
with a pannel with holes all over it.

Hello,
If anybody has any experience with those cheaper (e.g. Harbor Freight) stud
welders,
I'd like to hear about it.
