Revainrating 2 out of 5

Great little welder

I was very pleasantly surprised by several aspects of this welder: 1. It was much smaller than I expected, about half the size and weight of what I thought it would be; 2. The performance of such a small welder is much greater than I expected. First using a 3/32 6013 rod and then switching to 7014 it welded the broken seams on my lawnmower perfectly and made a clean seam after adjusting the handle. (I use it connected to 220V.) 3. I started at 150 on the scales but quickly burned a cracked 3/32 steel frame; reduced power to 125; a little bit higher. then to 95 and the frame perfectly welded. Great little arc welder and way better than the low level flux cored wire welders I've used at home/small shops. This welder is way better than I expected and has way more power than I thought; occasional welding for 60 years. I figured 3/32 rods was the max it could handle, but after using them and low settings I'm sure it can handle 1/8 rods running on 220v. It has quality cords too , a handle and a clamp. They are not compatible with industrial size welding machines, but strong enough for this welding machine.

Pros
  • Portable: Compact design, weighs just under 10lbs (4.5kg), allowing you to work smarter not harder by using the welder at work, easier to carry and store.
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
