I have easy to follow and thorough step by step tutorials "do it yourself" (DIY) videos to help you with your broken lawn and garden equipment including snowblowers and zero turn mowers.
I do my best to teach you how to easily diagnose problems the fastest, quickest and most efficient way with real repairs beyond just replacing a spark plug. These tips are for both the homeowner and shop owner.
Whether it be a handheld, two stroke, two cycle engine like a chainsaw, weed eater, weed whacker, string trimmer, grass trimmer, line trimmer, hedge trimmer, strimmer, brush cutter, leaf blower, or four stroke, four cycle units like a lawnmower, wood splitter, lawn tractor, zero turn mower, snowblower, pressure washer, generator or a ride on mower that needs parts installed or replaced, I’m your go-to guy.
My favorite brands of spark plugs are NGK and Champion and are the ones I recommend.
I’ve been a small engine mechanic for many decades and also run my own repair shop so my videos are loaded with tips and tricks that I have learned and want to share with you. You will also find many tool and product reviews from top brands on my channel as well.
I have the largest Small Engine Repair Video Library on KZbin and the entire internet with over 1200 videos, just GOOGLE "DONYBOY73"!
I want "DON THE SMALL ENGINE DOCTOR" on KZbin to save you time, frustration and most importantly, MONEY with my HOW-TO videos!

Tips to anyone out there practicing with these. Tips for your safety, don’t hold that rod with your hand. Practice without using your hand. Remember that’s live currents in your hand, don’t get in the habit because the day those gloves get wet, or the day you feel daring to hold it bare handed for a quick spot. You will die. Other tip preheat metal before the weld. Be creative since you’re new I’d recommend a small butane torch. Torch the spots you want to weld and hit it. That’s how you can arc easier without getting stuck for smoother welds my friend. Good luck

[@jiwbink]

PMG, INDEED THAT IS EXCELLENT ADVICE,AND THERE IS CURRENT FLOWING THERE.,MOST PPL DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT THE ENTIRE ABILITY TO ESTABLISH AN ACR AND LAY SOUND WELD DEPOSIT IS COMPLETLY DEPENDANT UPON ARC RESISTANCE-THE DIDTANCE THE ELECTRODE(ROD OR WIRE) IS FROM THE BASE OR PARENT MATERIAL. THERE IS,IN EVEY APPLICATION A SWEET SPOT,THE ARC LENGTH IF TOO SHORT CAN RESULT IN ARC FREEZE(MORE COMMON IN "STICK", OR "BIRD NESTING" IN WIRE APPLICATIONS (SOLID,FLUX CORED OR DUAL SHIELD). ARC LEBGTH TOO LONG,CAN PRODUCE MOLTEN BALLS OF LIQUID FILLER METAL,THAT CAN BE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE FROM EITHER THE WELD ZONE OR TGAT WELDMENT,WITHOUT LEAVING BEHIND EVIDENCE OF BEATING AT THESE GLOBULES OR GRINDER SCARRING. KNOWING OR HAVING A FAIR ESTIMATE OF MATERIAL TO BE WELDED,THICKNESS,COMPOSITION VOLTAGE & AMP ESTIMATION WILL AIDE IN STARTING AND MAINTAINING A WELDING APPLICATION, ONCE MASTERING PROPER ARC LENGTH IN VARIOUS POSITIONING,T G E REST IS ESSENTIALLY TRYING TO FIND WHICH ELECTTODE MANIPULATIONS YOU ARE COMFORTABLE USING,FINDING TIPS,TRICKS AND SHORT CUTS... I GOT IN DECADES AGO,ALWAYS WORKING TO LLAY THE NEXT BETTER THAN THE LAST. I MADE SURE TO BECOME PROFICIENT USING ONLY ONE HAND IN ANY POSITION,NEVER LEANING AGAINST WALLS MACHINES ETC. DOING THAT,IMPRESSED FEWER PPL THAN IT PISSED OFF!! "MAN,HOW'D YOU DO THAT,STANDING THERE,AND WELDING WITH JUST ONE HAND"!! I TOLD THAT GUY-BROTHER,ITS A GOD GIVEN TALENT!! SMOKE WAS COMIN FROM HIS EARS!! I LEARNED TO DO IT THAT WAY BECAUSE ABOUT A QUARTER OF THE WAY THROUGH WELDING SCHOOL,MY DUMB ASS GOT MY THIMB CAUGHT BETWEEN A 3/8"WELDING TEST PLATE(I WAS PREPPING FOR CERT TESTING) AND A 12" PEDISTSL GRINDING WHEEL.

The cleaner the surface the better the weld will always be. Plate thickness takes more power to create enough heat in that much metal. A thicker rod will take a bit more power. Smaller rod for thinner metal, less power.

[@michaelweatherhead9470]

Wouldn't trust that app. Just saying.

[@RussellBooth1977]

Yes, you might have to slow down with your travel & watch the molten pool as you weld as well as cleaning the loose & flaky paint & rust off that crack on the auger to reduce porosity, you might have to stitch weld the thinner metal a bit meaning wait for the molten pool to cool down a bit to prevent the welder from blowing holes through the metal. With the 1/4" thick plate maybe chamfer the metal a little bit so you can do a fillet weld. I did a small welding & thermal cutting course which included marking out at tech 30 years ago while I was at high school . The other course was an automotive course, the next year which was my last year of high school I studied a small carpentry & the introduction to the electrical trade course !

[@tebill8248]

I took a vocation class in high school at 14 and learned how to arc weld. Pooling is the key. I was taught to push the pool in a circular or swaying motion. I didn't see that on his weld. I seen other videos of using this unit and had perfect beads. Also, l have never seen anyone arc weld thin metal like that.

The taller the bead, the less penetration your getting. Everyone needs to take a welding class and test their welds to see how they really do. Most people will be surprised at their poor welds that look okay on the surface. You can take those classes temporarily for cheap and not have to do a full course.

Oh man, i Reviewed this exact one on my channel a month or two ago, and it worked for about 5 minutes of weld time before the magic smoke came out and it never turned on again. Also I see with your description you're still letting temu sponsor videos? I found it much more of a hassle than it was worth, i find their affiliate program just a complete waste overall.

[@extremeskierx528]

5 minutes assumes a 50% duty cycle. I don't know what the specs are but I think 10% duty cycle would be the limit, that's 1 minute weld time and 10 minutes to cool.

[@johnsharonwhitaker9242]

thanks Dony, The variability in your welds could be due to the rods. On the farm here we have a 250 AMP AC stick welder and 6013 rods are easier to use than 7018 which I recall is low-hydrogen and works better in a DC welder. But it does give you a stronger weld once you get used to it. I think the inverter is AC. John in Manitoba

If I didn't buy a complete Miller setup before prices got silly, I'd just take whatever it was I needed welded to my local welder and pay him about the cost of this unit to do it for me. You're not doing anything critical with this thing anyway.

dont, oh, i am a pro welder. It's just a stupid idea to have the entire welding machine in your hand. The weight take away control of the rod while welding. And in hard to reach places also the sight on your weld. You can find better welders for the same price at discounters. The best thing you can do is to look a and old used pro stick welding machine for the same price or a little more. And dont mind the weight, the heavier the better. That means they have a copper coil around a cast iron core. Those are the most stable and controllable welders.

One thing I never hear people talk about on these kinds of videos is if you don’t use good Eye protection you can really get your eyes burned from the welding glare. It is a must to have a good lens and to not have a leak in the sheilds where the lenses connect into the shield. If you ever get burned eyes you will know what I’m talking about but just imagine sand in your eyes. And it doesn’t go away for hours. I went through this years ago and trust me it does not feel good. If it ever happens to you you will never forget it.

That is a great welder for the occasional welder glad you did a video on this.inverter welder Donnie boy 73

It's a waste of money, the is better stuff around.

I am not a professional welder either but my coworker (25 years experience in welding) taught me how to weld and buy the appropriate tools, now I own 220v Lincoln stick welder for all-day heavy use and a 120v stick inverter welder for small welds that I carry in my work truck. I am in construction. I personally wouldn't trust that, not even for free.

[@donyboy73]

I actually have the same welders as you have. I made the video because I always wondered if these actually worked!

[@truocleb]

Looking at the definition of inverter welder. It states that it is a DC welder. So what is the polarity. As a Welding Technologist, some rods prefer strait polarity and others reverse polarity. This may be where some welding on these videos goes not so good. For example a 6010 is a reverse only rod. Is this machine set to reverse. As for general welding the rule is strait polarity more heat on the plate, and reverse if you want more heat on the rod. I think I might have to buy one of these.

Went in site but it said the code dkx3945 was invalid. They said the regular price was $325.82 and the sale price was $132.98 + gst. Sorry

[@mrvang8077]

Ehhhhhh... I purchased a couple of items from there, and they all are not that good of quality. Looks cheap and mediocre, so I just deleted the apps. The length of shipping takes way too long.

Great review, your conclusions are very similar to others that have used it. I see it as a great light weight small job/repair welder. Portable and mobile. Thanks for doing these tool reviews and how to small engine repair videos. Very good useful info.

[@jamesmurray5934]

Temu stuff is trash. Ordered 3 different tools, all were junk. Do not buy anything from temu......

[@tomycodd]

Thank you for the great review-As a Small Engine mechanic this would be perfect for the once in a while quick weld job

[@waynestefinashen239]

dNice video Don if Jake and i did not have the MIG and TIG welders in the shop at EP we would have likely ordered one. For the cost this for sure fits the small DIYer shop and if a homeowner needs a deck weld repair this unit is basically paid for itself instead of needing to take to a shop for welding.

Good day Wayne Yes little fellow seems to be very hot. Thanks

[@GTRliffe]

better use for that is removing stubborn bolts. simply tax the bolts head to free it. what you reckon?

[@kencurtis228]

TY for Sharing

[@TSGEnt]

That was pretty cool! Or is it hot? Nice job. This looks like it puts arc welding in the hands of the DYI, home repair guy. thx.

[@prostreetgsxr]

Let’s see you run a nice weld while holding that cheap welding mask up to your face lol😂

[@robertisaac4357]

Your a great small engine mechanic, But as a welder........you need more work.......LOL

Other than the trigger push button I see no improvement over a box in the corner. Ron W4BIN

[@davidsuzukiispolpot]

[@lessage760]
