For light weight work some stainless is fine.
It's NOT fine if you're using it to change out your brake rotors or cylinder heads.

Stainless steel is very hard,just try to drill it. The stainless comes from the high Chromium content.The high Chromium content makes it less flexible and will break before bending unlike mild steel. Rotors and cylinder heads are usually a cast iron also very hard but not flexible. Imop. As a welder this has been my working knowledge. P.S. I love stainless Steel, 304 or 316 is really nice material.
