Yeah, but no welder is capable of fixing the welding machine, except for simple fixes like cleaning stuff and checking if everything is configured the right way.
That is a bit presumptuous. A tradesman may know their tools inside and and out. They aren’t necessarily a jobber that knows how to push the power button and point the electrode at the problem to be solved.
This argument doesn’t hold water. There’s a reason specialization exists. No person can know everything about everything, and just because you know more about a specific topic doesn’t mean that individual doesn’t have specialized knowledge in another topic. By your own standard, you should be able to repair, troubleshoot, and maintain everything you utilize daily. Are you a mechanic, hvac specialist, appliance repair specialist, building inspector, ect? Unlikely.
So you are proud of not understanding the tools you need to use day to day. Good thing you aren’t a woodworker or a welder, I guess?
Welder: normal electricity goes in, furious electricity comes out. There must be something truly annoying inside that box.
To be fair, the welder needs to know a thing or two about the metals being annoyed.
