It was a radio tower tech who had to climb up and down those tall towers to make repair welds that were tiny but impossible to bring a welder up the tower for. So tiny light lithium pack with the clamps it came with and he had the perfect stick welder and no longer had to make those extra trips and hoist things up and down.

I bought one of these from Amazon. The amperage is all over the place causing a very splattery and uneven weld. After 4 rods the damn thing caught on fire,,1/16th rod on no3,, luckily my garage fuse blew but I threw it out of the door still belching black smoke. I gave them the benefit of doubt just in case this was just a faulty unit. After 3 weeks the replacement came. This one lasted a bit longer, it welded poorly for almost 2 hours using up 9x 1/16th rods on no 3 setting. This time my mains fuses started to blow instantly every time the damn thing was plugged in. No fire no smoke but the welder was dead shorted between positive and negative. Do not buy one of these Chinese welders, they don't work plus they are dangerous. I opened up the second unit, the plug was earthed, but the earth wire inside the machine was not connected to anything, no fuses were found inside the machine,the copper coil had melted causing the dead short. These are an electricution with possible death waiting to happen.

Just recently my machine at work started being intermittent and shutting off on stick mode so I ended up doing the job on tig mode with my pedal but on dcep with stick electrodes, and honestly starting a stick with my pedal was amazingly easy and much better than scratching lol This kind of reminds me of that! I bet with some use this could be better for some than scratching as you can just put it down a mil or two off the work and and pull the trigger? Does this have a high frequency start? Or?

this seems something that would be fairly easy to use for someone that's never welded before also as far as the noise being right near your head just wear your protection

A normal electrode holder that is much more compact, much lighter and has much better adjustability for the electrode angle is easier to use in every possible way.

It’s good for little jobs, just like any cheap tool

Thanks for showing the test video. Their ad on instagram makes it look like they're applying silicone caulking instead of welding.

I know nothing about arc welding. How can you touch the rod like that and not get shocked?

Might be good for a newbie like me that needs to weld once a year. The price seems right and I doubt if I’ll ever need to do a big weld.

Warm up the rods may help!!! Did you grind the plate clean …remove the scale before running stringer??? That will cause all sorts of issues!!!

If I were going to use it for more than occasional emergencies I'd probably make a lead for the electrode.

these chinese toys are getting better and better everyday, not a top notch machine obviously but really impressed for the price and practicality

Soo i never welded in my life. I have stainless steel exhaust piping on my car. I want to learn how to weld before striking the exhaust,i like the style of arc welding. A rod in hand as opposed to wire fed. Would this be a good starter tool to get an understanding of heat voltage and how to drop beads? Im not looking to lay dimes or weld porn lmao. Just wanna learn myself at my own pace
