Fantastic 3 in 1 welder but no instructions.

I am new to MIG welding but have been using a welder for a while. I keep hearing how much better MIG is so I decided to order this welder to give it a try. I can't afford an argon tank yet, so this review covers stick weldments and non-gas MIG weldments. The welder arrived well packaged with all the parts listed. The welder itself is very good in terms of build quality. It's not a Lincoln, but it's nice. The metal body is moderately stiff, and the plastic bezels and parts are solid and feel solid. Package Includes: 220V Power Cord 5ft, MIG Torch 9ft, Ground Wire/Clamp 7ft, Welding Wire/Clamp 7ft (1) Flux Roll 0.8mm. Wire Core Although no instruction manual was included I was able to use the circuitry on the inside of the door to get the welder working. I was able to work with this on some sheet steel stands and had no problem using different amps as I used different thicknesses. The 6013 and 7018 worked fine at 100A. Then I had to do some hard work as I'm not the best welder. I decided to build a MIG welder but I had to watch some videos on the internet because there were no instructions. I loaded the wire and let it run through after making sure the 0.8mm feed wheel was engaged. I did notice that the torch wire still wobbles a bit after screwing it tight to the welder, but that didn't seem to make a difference. After choosing the size of the cable and powering and setting up the amps, I headed into town. I've welded both a 1/4" plate and several 1/16" plates and am amazed at how well this thing welds. Feeding is smooth and I was able to place a few intact beads with little to no effort. There was a little squirt since I wasn't using gas, but I don't mind that. This is a big difference to electrode welding. Haven't tried the TIG function yet but hope to do so once I have some MIG. I'll update my review accordingly but from what I've seen this is a fantastic 3 in 1 welder. I highly recommend it.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks
