Review on ๐Ÿ”‹ Forney Easy Weld 261, 140 Flux-Cored Welder, 120V, Forest Green by Dean Love

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Beautiful car and great customer service!

Full disclosure. Everything I knew about welding when I bought it I learned from reading and Youtube. The device received great reviews, and there were a lot of them, so I decided I couldn't be wrong. Received the welder, the build quality is good. I started out with trial welds and had problems (for a number of reasons) but mostly ended up with a terrible and inconsistent joint with lots of spatter and pop. I decided to call Forney as their website offers help. I have one of their "Zach" techs who made me boil while I was on the phone. Diagnosed almost immediately: problems with nutrition. I was wrong. They still make ugly welds, but that's the fault of the operator, not the equipment.

Pros
  • EASY TO USE-140 FC-I MIG uses .30 flux cored wire. It features stepless voltage and wire feed speed adjustment so you can set up the perfect weld! The ideal welder for beginners
Cons
  • Something different
