Review on HONE Inverter Machines Anti Stick Efficiency by Jeffrey Mosqueda

Great little farm welder

Based on a very old Miller Thunderbolt welder, this miniature product! Before writing this review, I tested this thing thoroughly. At the moment I have about 20-30 hours of welding without a single problem. The device arrived in a box that was almost ridiculously small. Of course, a good amateur welder could not fit into this box and be very good. It arrived with a small problem; The fan was terribly loud, but it sounded like the fan blades were hitting something. Removed a few screws and found that the fan actually hit part of the board. A simple flex of the part (it was soldered and moved easily) and it was fixed. The first impression is very good. I have yet to get to his duty cycle and have been welding a 6013 5/64" rod continuously for about thirty minutes and he just kept burning the rods normally. One thing I really like about this little fella from such an old welder, is the hot start feature which makes it incredibly easy to start the arc.For €80 including postage you just can't go wrong.

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • Legacy model
