That is a cool little welder. Just perfect for small jobs. Why spend big bucks for a welder when this one will more than fill your needs? I really enjoyed this one George. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Looks like a great little welder especially for the price. It's been years since I have done any welding but have been thinking about getting an inexpensive welder because every once in a while a situation comes up where I wish I had one. This just might be the ticket. Thanks for the video.

Great restoration! What are you 'painting' the blade with?

Well done George!...Bestarc chose the right Guy. I'm sure other Companies will reach out to you. The Channel's appeal is broadening while staying true to it's origins - Good stuff!

Congratulations on getting a welder. It looks like a winner. Your going to find so many projects to do now. Thanks for sharing George

Looks like a nice compact little welder. My stick welder has been a godsend in the shed, I'm barely and adequate welder but I get good results of sticking metal together, mostly looks like bird crap but that's what we have grinders for!😂

George, I’m liking this welder, just what I need for 20 gage metal projects.

I have a millermatic “suitcase” welder and have seriously considered buying that exact Bestarc model, the small size is SO enticing for small jobs where you need to move around like when doing handrails up a stairway. The miller gets heavy especially when you factor in the wire and full size gas tank. Sometimes I just want to use flux core and spray paint 😂

Your life is going to change having a welder

Hey George, it's really cool that these guys sent this machine for you to test. I'll be anxious to see what you can do with it when you have a little time to mess around with it. Looks like a great little machine for hobbyists like us to work with. Let us know how it works in future projects.

Some nice little welder George I'm impressed I just want you to know That I hope that it runs very well for you I hope that it does all the things you need to do My 1st welder was an arc welder Rock on brother Peace and love

Really neat little machine George! I have an inexpensive little MIG welder - I don't need it often but when you need one it is really great to have one. That machine looks really nice. Thanks for showing it to us!

That seem a great little welder so glad you got it restoration 2.0 Mr.George can’t wait to see this after some practice.

I picked up a easyflux titanium from harbor freight a few months ago. I’ve been meaning to open it up and have it usable in the shop. I haven’t welded since 2009 when I graduated from a technical school for welding 😅. Did you run it on a 15 amp circuit or a 20? Great video brother.

Your going to have fun with that. I have welded for years with big machines never tried 110 looks like it did the job.

Nice machine George I have both a flux core welder similar to that and a stand alone stick welder. I love them and it is especially good for restoring those old vises and its the main reason I bought them. Anyway welcome to the world of hobby welding and can't wait for your next vid.

I was hoping you were going to show how you put that spool on there without it on threading as you said as boing. Awesome deal that they gave it to you and it looks like it would come in handy I have one brand new I haven't used and I've been trying to figure out how to put it on without that boing thank you for the video

Killer finds, especially the “breast drill,” I’ve seen tiny versions of the drill without the stand marketed to jewelers and watch makers, generally about half the size of typical egg beater drills. That press and the size of the drill itself leads me to think you have something really special on your hands. ✨

Yes the drill press was very nice your crescent wrench I could read it look like f a but every time I stretched it out on my tablet I got blurry thank you for the video

I’m so pleased for you that Bestarc chose you as a suitable candidate for promoting their products. Welders are invaluable in what you do with work and especially in tool restoration. Fantastic for filling deep pits, fixing metal fractures and removing seized bolts. I have an arc welder, (stick welder to you guys) that my lovely wife bought me over 40 years ago. Must say I haven’t used it for at least 30 years and there’s little chance of that changing unless there’s welding to be done on a bench. It’s a big heavy beast but I will hang onto it as long as I can. Never tried Mig or Tig welding but if it’s anything like arc welding practice is the key. Weld a lot, vertical, horizontal and upside down and you will improve. Every time I look at mine I hear my long departed dad whisper in my ear, “Son, your welds look like cocky shit”. Enjoy your acquisition brother. Looking forward to seeing you use it again in the future. Love and hugs to the family buddy.

Great review!

I guess my original comment didn't get through. So, the crucked handle adjustable is one I would enjoy restoring, rusty and froze up. That Herbrand screwdriver is cool. The Drill press is cool, It seems a little like the mini drilll press I found recently. And Mr. John hooked you up with some nice tools. Good video, catch up with you later.

Great addition to the shop and I'm sure it will come in handy.

Congrats on the new toy! Look forward to seeing more of it in the future!

Awesome..i got to send u the regulator..and i got chipping hammer cuz when you weld flux.. you want to knock the slag off the weld...oh and that welding eod too.. awesome video.. you just leveled up brother..stay safe man..

I'm so glad that welder worked great for you. I love the talent a welder has and can use in his hobbies as well a his work.

Great review George. BestArc seems to be ligit, their products are pretty good.I love that it comes with a Stick, I think you will like that. I hear the gas fed wire is much easier to weld with but I haven't tried it. Good video you nailed it.

Well now , welding , f cuffing danger ya dont need if you ask me , i give it a wide berth myself , unless of course its a steel bridge that needs welding , over a bottomless chasm and its life it death .... Then its mig sticks at the ready ..... Not had to this week yet ..... 😂😂😂😂 Nicely done George , and free gloves ( to go with that free welder) , you get sent way better sh1 t than i used to .... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I’m so happy for you, nothing like melting two pieces of metal together, filling a hole or even getting a broken bolt out. Thanks to Bestarc, and you!

Great review. I know nothing about welding but I found this video informative. Thanks. That seems like a nice light weight unit. Enjoy.

Brother, I see that pitted tools will be a thing of the past for you LOL. Nice metal glue gun though. I went with th Harbor Freight one since I was able to get it a couple years ago for $60 with sales and coupons etc. Glad to see you got one and dont have to ask a buddy every time!

Nice review! Looks like a handy machine for the home shop. Thanks for sharing

It's truly impressive how much the weight reduction has f a welder has come down. And still able to do a decent weld

That little welder is an amazing little guy, I am a "Tacker" myself so it impressed me, thanks for posting George. So I will now add I just bought one and the Amazon price OUT THE DOOR was under $150 Wooooot

I have my dads old Goodell Pratt utility lathe from the same era. Pop bought it as a basket case at an auction when i was maybe 10-12 YO. Dad cleaned, repainted and reassembled it and made a very nice bench and painted a color complimenting the red and black of the lathes original colors. Dad was not a machinist, but he increased and improved on his tooling for the machine and did perform an amazing amount of work on the crude machine over the next 40 or so years. I kept the machine after dad died when i had to clean out his shop. I could not bear parting with it though I know i will never put it to use as i have a larger, newer, better tooled and capable thread cutting lathe. As i kid, the first sparks of interest i had in the machining of material were due to the very basic things my dad taught me on that machine. With both 3 & 4 jaw chucks due to the upgrades he made he taught me how to center stock in a 4 jaw chuck using a mag base and dial indicator. Of couse how to drill with the tailstock. The purpose and use of center drills, how to grind a lathe cutter, the differences in materials lathe cutters are made from HSS, carbide, etc. Additionally he taught me how to set the cutter bit in the lantern style rocker on the tool post. Basics of feed rates, speed, and depth of cut to get the most out of the machine, basic machine safety, how to read micrometers, dial and vernier calipers and dial indicators. And good work practices when using a metal lathe like lubricating prior to use, and proper treatment of the lathe ways. All of these things he taught me with a very crude, severely limited, and very old utility lathe! That explains my inabily to part with that machine after he passed. Your drill and the brand reminded me of where my first sparks of interest in machine shop work as hobby came from.

Nice demonstration and review. Thank you .

👍

George,, this will make a nice addition to your shop,,it will come in handy,, and i think you will be happy to have it,,hope it works out well,, and always enjoy the great videos on all the cool tools

Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas!

Great video! Years ago I worked in a garage and my boss had an electric welding machine. I never had the opportunity to try it but I have been interested in learning welding ever since. This may be my chance to learn for a small investment. Thanks again for another great video.

Nice little machine! I’m sure you’re gonna find a bunch of good uses for it!

Very nice. They have come a long way since I git my Century 125 20 years ago. Hope it work well for you... glad it didn't cause power problems.

Great review Super George! I have 2 welders in my shop and they are a life safer! I use mine a lot for filling rust pits and cracks on tools I'm restoring. You're gonna have a lot of fun with that little welder. I have a Vevor MMA 200 120/220v stick and plastic welder that i use all the time and it's about the size of your little welder. I've never used it on 200v but the tool restorations i do don't require it. I have my dads old Lincoln tombstone stick welder for larger jobs. Glad you finally got a welder brother. I'm excited for you.

Great video. I have been wanting something just to do small tack weld in my shop for small projects, and this looks perfect. I wish you got some sort of commission for this because I am getting one. Thanks for sharing.

Good morning George that sure looks like one handy little welder. My cousin had a small Lincoln welder same 110v used flux core wire but it was hit or miss with it when trying to use it great video thanks for sharing

Seen you hit 4 k george . 🎉🎉 😊 keep up the good work .

I was in Europe watching some guys do some plumbing. It seems like when you go to first grade there, teachers give you paper, pencils, and a welder. This plumbing project was adding a radiator heater....They took the black pipe, put a little hole in the side, then welded on another length making a T. These small welders are going to open a whole new world for workshops.

Nice one George , I was wondering what the display on the front looked like where you set the voltage, amps and feed speed.? Was it easy to see.

Hey man, freaking great video. I’ve been thinking about a welder for the exact reason you got one for at least a year or two. You have inspired me for sure! You made it look so easy, practice a little more then we’ll talk and you mentor me as your welder apprentice!
