Matt Reviews : BestArc 145A MIG Welder

[@tonyestvik7969]

Good job... nice to have some support the canal, and the new welders are so small.... would like to have the one with lcd- screen and "some of that pre- settings" all new machines have...but my I have now have to do...have just used flux so far, gas are extremely expensive here...-but when im going to do fancyer stuff, I will be trying to go gas- welding...

looks like a nice wee unit :)

that looks perfect to have around for when you only have a small job & can't be arsed digging out the big welder ... can someone confirm the nozzle is only live when you actually pull the trigger ?? ..... pizza & salad

Morning Matt. Can I ask your thoughts on the gasless welders with the flux core? Thinking about getting one. … steak pie, chips and mushy peas later 😋👍

[@MattGreenWorks]

Never really done it , but my dad has for allot of his life , and has had no real issues with it , restored many cars, switches to stick welding for thicker stuff ..look gasless welding not the prettiest .. but it functions . and saves you carrying a bottle around...

[@iangerrard321]

My kind of welding. Totally agree. Having a go is the main thing.

@@MattGreenWorks + ian, thanks for the replies 👍. I’ll put it on my list for Santa 😁, I’m sure (with a bit of practice) it’ll come in handy to have for the occasional job here and there.

@@alxgu198 i switched over to "adam gas" for mig gas , no monthly rentals , ok not free , but something you can look into later ( avoid those little bottles they really dont last long )
