Nice! I’m seeing some videos now with multiple capabilities for $150-200. That’s what I’m shooting for eventually. Donyboy has reviewed several of them in the last few months.

I have the same welder and love it. I dont do any huge welding projects which would require a better machine. So far after 9 months and a bunch of projects working on my 3 trailers its still going strong.

I’m in the same boat as you, I’ve never come anywhere close to 3/8 material, mostly just Mower decks/Sno Blower buckets. And I still absolutely love this machine!👍🏻

This welder accommodates TWO pound rolls of wire. And that ground clamp now costs $15.99. HF does offer a less expensive ground clamp for $6.99.

The carrying strap is fully adjustable so just shorten it up and use it as a handle to move the welder around.
@hester781 Жыл бұрын
If I adjusted it all the way down to where it could be used as a handle then I wouldn’t be able to open the cover. Just comes down to personal preference 👍🏻

I bought this welder and had a question about the wire. I installed a 2 lb spool and I am getting down to the last of it. What happens when I get down to the last 12-18 in of wire? Will the wire feed keep cycling until it stops? Or will I have to clip it and just let it feed out the stinger?
@hester78111 ай бұрын
So when the spool runs out, it’s going to keep feeding until it gets just past the feed wheel, it will stop feeding and you’ll have to pull the rest of that wire out of the gun/hose and throw it away. So unfortunately, you’ll be left with three or 4 feet of waist.

@@hester781 thanks for the tip. No one on KZbin has covered that process or made an attempt at covering that. I know you made a nice how to on installing a spool but not when you run down to the last 3 feet lol. Thanks again.

@yermomsboyfriend6 ай бұрын
It can be nice when you are welding overhead, as the lead is so short. If I'm welding exhaust on a car on a 2-post lift, I have to set it on a stool so I can reach the top of the pipe.......or wear it like a purse. Would prefer a handle for carrying though.
