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 Joe Jordan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A decent welder for home projects and beginners.

I am a retired Navy Veteran, a welder by trade. This is the second cored wire welder I have had in the last 8 years. I bought this one when the other was beyond repair. Look at every FC b4 welder you buy and you won't regret it. This Etosha turned out to be a very good welder. Here's a tip. Isolate a separate circuit or disable everything else on the same circuit as your circuit breaker will burn out after 1-2 minutes of welding. I found out about this when I had 2 headlights and a fan on the same 20A switch as the welder. After switching off, the welder worked perfectly. I can recommend this welder and one more piece of advice. Use 1lb Lincoln .030/.035 wire spools for best weld quality, I use .035.

Pros
  • SAFETY WELDING MACHINE --- Overheat protection, the machine will stop automatically when overheated. Splashproof, IP21 rating for good waterproofing. Overload protection, the machine will stop automatically when overloaded.
Cons
  • Slightly torn
