Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ ETOSHA MIG 160 Portable Flux Core Wire Gasless Welder, Automatic Wire Feeding Welder with 160A ARC Welding Gun, Grounding Clamp, Input Power Adapter Cable and Brush - Orange by Luis Adu

Be careful when you buy this Cored Wire & Gasless Welding Machine

Bought as a cheap welder for home use. Has a path to short wires. The cable that came with it is junk. A more serious problem is the power supply for using the device. I had a dedicated 120-20 amp circuit and it blew every time until I connected #8 feed to the 30 amp dedicated circuit. That alone wiped out any savings from buying a cheaper device. BUT there is hope. I got it working, bought another wire, welded the lawnmower guide wheel mount back to the deck and made myself happy, happy, happy without even trying to borrow a welder. I'll buy and find a 10/2 20 inch extension so I'll out of marriage I can get to my outlet. I have this welder, it shortens my ability to weld larger things. Much luck. Regarding HF, they have a $39.95 welding cart that works well with this little device.

Pros
  • --- This MIG machine uses 0.8~0.9mm diameter flux cored wire. Dedicated input power 110 VAC, 60 Hz, suitable for mild steel and stainless steel.
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
