This is why you dont buy a WELDER from TEMU for $89

Update: Temu accepted the return, Will be shipping it back and reorder. If new one works better/lasts more than 10 minutes I will make sure to make an update video!

It has a 20% duty cycle, clearly advertised and listed in spec list. This means if you run it for 2 min, it needs an 8 min cool down before using it again. The experienced welder should have known about this idea

[@UnboxAnalysisOfficial]

this one failed very quickly, if you check my videos i bought a replacement model and used it to replace a panel on my jeep and that one overall worked great. First one was defective for sure.

[@LindenHighwind]

Something else you may want to know about these is to have a look at the ground. Check out a video by Caseys Customs to see what issues he had. He found the ground was not done well, so he cut it shorter, and put a better connection to the clamp. That improved the welder exponentially.

[@UnboxAnalysisOfficial]

If the next one fails like this one, i'll take it apart and dig deeper for sure. I already shipped that one back yesterday. Thanks for the idea

[@bpt386]

Its copper coated

My ground was getting hot and I notice this same thing ! Mine overheated too but it cooled down it still works I believe …

Mine works Great iv welded alot with it with no Problem at all , couple of guys i know have sinced ordered one after the seen me weld with mine. I also am a Advanced welder for 38 years so that helped also.

[@UKpolitoons]

I have a precursor to this thing (oddly enough by Eastwood Kelarc )and it only works at a fixed settng of 50amps no adjustment. Cant easily strike an arc with anything over 2.0mm I think that is by design for a reason though as the hole to fit the rods is really tight and only 1.6mm fit with any ease SO looking at some ancient manual images I could see the rods were really thin which kind of confirmed it. I tried 1.6mm E6013 rods and it worked very well making a few butt welds on very thin metal 0.9mm which is all I needed to test its capability. I dont think I would every do continuous line welds with it. Reduce the size of the rod and time on small jobs and it should be ok although this TEMU one isnt gonna perform any better I am guessing than at THAT level of limited sized rods and amperage. I cant see it being any good for any task where you are welding for long periods of time but Im guessing that was the idea behind its design. Fascinating clip thank you for sharing it!

[@XenapZ]

10 minutes is about 9 more minutes then I would have expected lol😂

[@UnboxAnalysisOfficial]

I really wasnt sure what to expect, part of me thought it would work fine.. part thought it wouldnt work at all.. Once it started working though, i didnt expect it to die that fast.

[@SamTheBattleshipp]

I have never seen anything like that. But I also have never ever welded so there's that. lol. Awesome video! would be interesting to see if the replacement dies/burns out too or works better.

[@UnboxAnalysisOfficial]

If i get another one and it just dies, ill pin a comment on this video. If it lives ill make another review.

[@MalusVir_]

Well that was interesting. Cant wait for follow up.

[@whitemage950]

I had same experience. Mine worked for 5 minutes. Return request accepted. Would be useful to figure out how this goe wrong, maybe could simply fix it. I was let mine rest for days, but never worked again.

[@UnboxAnalysisOfficial]

I made an updated video on the second one I bought. Worked pretty well fixing the jeep!

[@dlmperformanceandracing]

Will this work in New Zealand where our standard wall power is 240v, or will this potentially - for want of a better term - blow it up?

[@UnboxAnalysisOfficial]

It would need to be a specific variant for 240v, These are built for 110-120

[@BradGryphonn]

Great concept. Sadly, the internals probably won't last, even in the replacement.

[@UnboxAnalysisOfficial]

I had my doubts to begin with. We shall see!

[@clinthowe7629]

someone needs to show this guy some technique, he could be an ok welder if he tried.

[@UnboxAnalysisOfficial]

Me or the other guy? Haha, I honestly hardly ever weld, mostly just when I need something done. I did an update video when I got the replacement welder that overall turned out pretty good!

[@marshallclark1127]

so does it require 110v input, or does it have a battery? why so much burn thru?

[@UnboxAnalysisOfficial]

110v, and im not sure, the adjustment didnt seem to be very effective but i didnt get a lot of time to test it overall before it died.

[@jennyphrase7662]

[@Butchsiek]

TEMU has those for $10 you got ripped off. also TEMU is advertising they are giving them away...

[@UnboxAnalysisOfficial]

The giving away thing is basically a scam, they will ask you to go through questions, then share a special link to a ton of people you know and in the end you likely wont get anything for free. Also after looking the cheapest version of this welder i can find on all of temu is 62$, if you see one for 10 though please send me the link to my Instagram in messages. My insta is in the description of the videos, would love to take a look.

[@Butchsiek]

@@UnboxAnalysisOfficial will do..

[@FilmsForActors]

The "Free" works like this. FIrst you pay 90 ish for the welder, then, if you buy another 90 bucks worth of product they will give you a 90 dollar credit on your account to buy more chinese crap. so you pay around 180 bucks for 270 bucks worth of crap. That, to them means the welder was 'free' (sort of like their people are 'free'... sorry couldn't resist, there goes my social cred rating in china.)

[@Butchsiek]

So from the first second............... YOU Don't like it and it is a piece of garbage. Correct? Looks like you are at war with temu. Pretty lame vedeo

[@UnboxAnalysisOfficial]

Not at all, I do a ton of temu reviews and 95% of the stuff I get is far better than i expect. I did purchase a new one of these in a future video and it worked great. The video is called This Temu welder Didn't catch fire

[@neilyakuza6595]

I would just stick with a buzzbox. The new stick welders are smaller now in design, the size of a lunch box. The size of the head on that unit from temu is also a concern for puddle control. I laughed when I first saw these come out.

[@ThunderDivine]

U doubt the glass used for stick welding for hundreds of years, you cant weld stick with normal settings on electric masks.

[@UnboxAnalysisOfficial]

I doubt that the sticks were in great condition due to humidity effecting the weld quality. Especially since my welds are not great as it is.

[@dlmperformanceandracing]

Something you may eant to know, those small temu welders. From what I have watched, really don't like 7018

[@zacconnelly6650]

I wonder how it would do with 6010 rods

[@Bad-Idea-Network]

I don’t think people should scoot mmkay.

[@rayoflight62]

The enameled copper wire on all windings on all transformers use a section of the wire which is one quarter of the section which is required for the transformer / motor to run continuously. The consequence of this, you must use the device for 5 minutes, and let it cool for one hour. Most electric devices coming from "the far east" use a similar scam technique. The next welding machine will fail all the same.

[@UnboxAnalysisOfficial]

Let it cool overnight, its toast. Less than 5 minutes total welding time and it was all spaced out even in the time it was used.

[@charlesreid9337]

this isnt a scam. It's labelled "Duty cycle" on every tool used/made in the united states. This isnt intended to be a professional grade welder... if you have tools with a continuous duty cycle you spent 10x what he spent on this welder on every one of them

[@petepruitt7196]

So I have one and it paid for itself an hour out of the box doing a little tap-weld to resecure an errant spring on a True Cooler.

[@reloadnorth7722]

@@UnboxAnalysisOfficial Hello. I used a Forney 6013 1/8 or 3.2mm rod for the test. The welder calls for 2.5mm rods max. It welded very clean beads, but since I had the power cranked up to max, it kept tripping the circuit breaker in my fuse panel. But now that I know it works, I will buy some smaller rods and go from there. I bought this for when I am Hunting/camping because I was stranded hours away from home in a very secluded area in North East Ontario where there is no cell phone connection and traffic is as rare as chickens teeth. I am quite happy with its performance.
