I started with what comes with it and haven't found any problems with it that I know of. But after doing some research, most people have suggested throwing the reel that came with the welder in the trash and replacing it with something better. And here I am. I finally replaced the reel a few days ago but I only use the welder for things around the house so haven't used it much yet. I will say that on only a few balls I've ridden, the "splash" is much less than before. By that I mean random bits of metal around the weld that look like little balls. Hopefully I'll have more time to weld soon and if my mind changes I'll update this review.

Cons
  • unreliable
