Removed from shipping carton, connected wires, hooked up to 120v mains (via a 10ga 50ft extension) and I connected several scraps of a 1" rod with 3/32" 6013. This was just a test. The penetration was much deeper than expected. Just striking an arc. I started with a setting of 120 amps and then increased it to 195 amps I wanted something ultra portable On site repair work (not ship building) I am 100% happy with this purchase I am not a professional welder but have been welding for almost 40 years I learned from an old tradesman welder and finally am switched to a MIG welder I wasn't sure I would even remember how the weld is taped but I had no trouble starting and holding the arc.I can highly recommend the TOOLIOM 195A welder.
