Interesting. Especially that, we mostly are, guys who likes to fiddle around the house. Thank you very much Dony.

Have been using the small yellow stick welder for 2 years. Perfect for DIY home mechanic. I also purchased the small plasma cutter. Both are perfect up to 3/8" steel. Thanks.

[@kenjones4139]

I'm not a welder, but I own a welder. I'm getting better, but still lots of room for improvement on my welds! As they say "A grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain't !" Thanks Donnie

[@donyboy73]

same here!

[@powrguy1696]

I'm liking your reviews of the welders. For the DIY, or home welder user, these are simply perfect to see what's available, and pick up some tips.

[@donyboy73]

This is why I decided to show them, they are not professional grade but good enough for the dyer!

[@REDBIRD-95]

I bought a Mastercraft Flux Core MIG welder from Canadian Tire almost 2 years ago, it was on sale for about $200.00 I also bought some .030 Lincoln flux core wire at the same time. I also have an old Mastercraft stick welder I purchased many years ago. I find the MIG welder easier to use as I am just a novice wanna be welder😜 As far as I'm concerned, if it doesn't fall apart or break, you have a good weld. My welds aren't pretty, but they hold😁 Just like the saying goes, "A grinder and paint makes the welder I ain't" A flap disc makes the weld look pretty in a jiffy. Take care Don and thanks for the video👍

[@mattwaters6987]

I was gifted the MasterCraft 58-9862 Arc welder last year. Great little unit but only goes up to 75 amp. I'm learning lots now and I'm happy. 😊

[@BearE9090]

Eventually, I will pick up a small welder. Your video makes it much easier for a newbie to select a welder in the future. Thanks.

[@donyboy73]

Great, that's the point of these welder reviews!

[@woodbark1008]

Thanks for the demo donyboy73 - much appreciated. - I like flux core Mig welding and it appears that the Multi-purpose welder does a pretty good job. Cheers!

[@billarmstrong7155]

Very nice demonstration, i always enjoy your equipment reviews, honest and down to earth, keep them coming. After watching i ordered the little MIG one from Temu i think it was 75.00 the only catch it comes by boat so wont get it until July. Thanks for your effort to keep us informed of new products and how to videos.

[@drkwlsk]

Thanks for the accurate reviews! Not bad for a 10 pound welder!

[@Jewclaw]

11:57 did you have to turn the amps up again at this point?

[@ChasingEntities]

Great job explaining these!

[@rf005]

Out of all the welders you showed off I kind of liked that arc captain welder the best. You get a lot of bang for your buck.

[@donyboy73]

Once i'm done all the reviews I'll make a comparison video.

[@briantaylor9266]

Valuable review. Thanks for clearly stating which processes this unit supports. Neither the Temu web site nor the user manual are clear that this model does not do TIG or MIG with gas.

[@briantaylor9266]

BTW, I use my Lincoln Electric 110V MIG welder to do exactly the same thing to my snowblower skids. Kudos to your customer for giving them to you before they're worn completely through 🙂

[@TOWNCARBUBBA87]

very informative. thanks for sharing brother. stay safe out there man. 👍

[@Kevinthomaswatson]

I purchased the little inverter 110 v welder from Princess Auto and it does everything I need .

[@ericclark8258]

Thankyou for showing of availability of off shore welders and what they are capable of.. i still prefer to buy and pay extra for the local person to sell and service my equipment.

[@jws3925]

Thanks for the review Dony. I have looked into the MIG welder and no where do I see the input 115v amp requirement. Most of the 115 welders seem to require a 20 amp circuit to run these. Do you have any information that might have been in the paperwork that came with the welder that might give me an idea of what the AC input circuit amp rating needs to be?

[@lloydrussell-vt7dx]

Great job welding. Looks like you have had some practice

[@boblemon2103]

lol, I have replaced may sets of those exact skids, wish I had a welder, I would have made new skids for them. I did buy the last welder you reviewed, it will be here tomorrow!!! Can’t wait.

[@threeputtpar6927]

What is the amperage of the 110v outlet you used? I only have 15amp in my garage

[@donyboy73]

20 amps

[@sonnyc3826]

i bought one on amazon last year or so and it works well its a 4 in 1 welder..its not real good for stick welding tbh but it does flux core and mig well..gets the job done cost about 200 bucks.

[@Queso1526]

Have you tried running reverse polarity for stick? Or changing any settings

[@sonnyc3826]

@@Queso1526 well its kind of misleading teh mig and Stick still needs gas to weld properly..flux core it does not so i just use the flux core option....yes i know to use opposite..ive never tried the solid mig but id just assume it also needs gas..stick works pretty crappy without the gas ..it does have a hookup for gas but sinc eflux core does the job i just use it to spare teh space for a gas tank ..maybe ill try mig but its solid wire and i dont see it much difference form flux core..the stick trips my breaker it doesnt get hot enough..so agian i jsut use fux core..it works well for small jobs i do around here..yes for flux i use the revers or opposite polarity than mig and stick

[@luisjuarez1200]

Did you use gas 8n this video for any of the welding samples...or just electricity?

[@donyboy73]

Just electricity

[@bobjones9727]

Nice review. These machines get less expensive every day

[@mikeburgan7675]

Thank You

[@Dicofol1]

would you know if the safety mask helmets included with the red welder is certified either to ul/csa ANSI or europen regulations ?

[@kurt-o0o]

I highly doubt it. I know fk all about welding but I’ve heard the welder masks in China make lifelong US welders seem like they have 20/20 vision. Very shady country in terms of business, will sell you to save a buck, of this I am knowledgeable.

[@steakdave666]

Have you tried the harbor freight Titanium Stick welder? how do these compare to that? Looking for my first welder.

[@donyboy73]

I'm in Canada so I don't have Harbor freight.

[@RichardSivonen]

Amazing 👏 I won't trust myself with it, but I don't know until I try. Thanks donyboy73. 😊 🦅🦅🦅👍

How big off a breaker would you need to operate those welders , Don

always better to grind the rust off first , even with stick welding

[@donyboy73]

Thanks Jeff.

[@jeffferguson899]

interesting that the rdk machine says tig and mig right on the machine but doesnt do either

[@donyboy73]

Yes I found that a bit odd lol

[@74willy81]

@@donyboy73 Don't forget, if it can do stick it can at least do DC scratch start tig, perhaps even lift start tig if the machine's circuitry allows this. All it takes is shielding gas (100% argon) and a tig torch.

[@dclawnmaintenanceandsnowre4099]

Follow the welders that you've tried you should do giveaway

[@donyboy73]

I'll be doing a follow-up to see how long they last.

Did temu give you those products for freeeee?

[@donyboy73]

not free

[@patmiller7045]

@@donyboy73 That's a shame.

[@Ecksterphono]

I usually like doing reviews on products after moderate hours of use. Especially certain Chinese products that aren't main brand and become unavailable in short order. Product my work good but when something goes wrong that you can't source parts or you have to replace a complete assembly, then it's not worth it. If a product doesn't last more than a year or 2 years then it's not worth it.

[@rudeboz5486]

got myself a little flux core welder after many years of stick good little machines ,but bits that come with them are rubbish i.e mask and brush

[@RollingEasy]

The welder looks good Donny but your welds don't..... Try this on the 1/4 inch. Amps around 130. 6012 electrode and a firm pressing contact continuous weld holding the stick at about 30 deg to the joint. Flux will peel upwards like a snake skin and just fall off. Fillet size will be the 1/4 inch required.

[@donyboy73]

Thanks for the tips!

[@donyboy73]

Did you mean 6013 or 6011 rods? I cannot find 6012 rods.

[@RollingEasy]

@@donyboy73 You've given me so many good tips on small engines over time. I can offer a few good tips on welding. If you can't get GP 6012 then 6013 will do. With amps just a bit higher, you 'lean' the rod against the base metal with a slight pressure and at a fairly acute angle. Its called a 'touch weld'. Get it right and it looks like it was done by a machine. 6011 is a cellulose flux rod, run on DC. It behaves like a sparkler but gives good penetration on pipe welds and then a 6012 can cap over to make it look pretty. My best unit is a TIG as one of the benefits aside from welding, is that it can give incredible and precise heating up of 'frozen' mechanical parts with its small but concentrated arc when a piece of scrap is clamped to the part which needs the heat. Far safer than an oxy or butane torch on machinery and small engines etc. I've yet to see your other welding videos but have always enjoyed your small engine repairs greatly...... Thank you.

[@donyboy73]

@@RollingEasy Thanks! I practiced the method you mentioned and I noticed better results immediately and the slag peeled like a snake skin just like you said. Thanks again, I appreciate it! The 6012 rods are impossible to find here.

[@RollingEasy]

@@donyboy73 Glad you tried my suggestion. Generally on a good weld slag comes away very easily and that's when you know you've done it well. Another thing I always tell anyone fairly new to stick welding, is to get physically propped and comfortable before striking the arc. You cannot write neatly on paper with holding an 8 inch pencil by its eraser so when the rod is new and long, two gloved fingers of the left hand can hold it like a billiard cue to get the start and to give the steady as you get the weld underway. KZbin is filled with many BRILLIANT welders. I'm in awe of many even if I've been welding for well over half a century. Some would make me look like a beginner but this is how we all learn new things every day. As it should be.

So I tried to look up what temu is all about on my computer and apparently I MUST REGISTER JUST TO BROWSE THE WEBSITE!? WTF?! Seems very, very suspicious to me.

[@donyboy73]

I used to browse it unregistered all the time.

[@johnnyjimj]

@@donyboy73 Hey thanks for replying! I am flabbergasted by this, just can't make it work - tried several browsers with the same result, even looking up a google temu help link, I am immediately redirected to the login page. I'm completely stumped. Some folks seem to say it only works on android. Too much of a hassle for an old timer who felt much more at ease in a DOS console and was able to get things done using FORTRAN!!!. In any case I loved your review - I have an old stick welder. Weighs a ton but gets things done. Suprised the little inverter box works seemingly as well as my old monster for 1/4 inch plate! Keep up the good work and greetings from La Belle Province ☺
