Tour of my farm service truck. All the tools I carry to keep our trucks and machinery up and running at all times. Please leave a comment on anything that you would like me to do a tutorial or in depth review on. Thanks for watching God bless!
Do you have a video running the Lincoln 180? I would love to see that
May consider learning how to weld before you give a review on a welding machine
Just showing the machine that was after 14 hours of welding/wrenching and I was just in a hurry to get home to
I want to see you weld and run a 13 amp angle grinder, lights, or a 140 amp face. I just want to see what it can do! 🎉
I’m working on a freightliner and the u joint caps all broke off at the welds and don’t know what to do
I have had some that were really seized in place and I’ve used a cutoff wheel to cut the inside/body out of the u joint then the cap itself becomes a bit easier to get out with heat, spray and vice, press etc. you could also beat it out as long as you support the ears of the drive shaft so they don’t get bent up.
Could you take some actual measurements of the unit HF says it’s almost 4 ft long and I’m not seeing I’m assuming the mean with the wheel kit on but I want to know what it is with it off. Thank you sir
I’m not trying to sound like the typical internet hater but those beads looked pretty bad.
Hi Paul, what size wire and how long is the stinger lead you use on your vulcan outlaw?
That lifetime cooler rocks. I have one the same size and it was affordable, made in USA and keeps ice for days.
The x lock grinder wheels are cheaper than the regular ones. Lol you can buy Makita, Bosch, or Diablo all make X lock accessories. Idk I find it kinda strange that there’s really no downside to x-lock & yet for some reason it’s not the industry standard yet. Probably just because no one else can make x-lock grinders except Makita & Bosch cause of the patents.
That’s probably the only reason. It’s a great design but I can’t find them anywhere within 50 miles of where I’m located and can’t find cutting wheels anywhere
🏃🏿 a vulcan, or titan machine off of it.
Will it run lights, and weld at the same ⌚?
Yup, even the fridge
Tell me how to start a mobile welding bussiness
If you need someone on TH-cam to tell you that I’d say you’re far, far from ready.
@@jhitt79 don’t be mean 😭 lease
@@moejr14 sorry to break it to you but it’s not mean to tell the truth to someone. Want to start a mobile welding business? Are you a good welder? You know how to burn rod in all positions? You know how to choose what rod works best for what circumstances? You have money for a truck, welder, business insurance?
@@jhitt79 I know you don’t. Leave me alone. I’m 12
@@moejr14 you left a comment on a public forum. Public means that anyone can see or reply. So, lesson number one is don’t do that. Lesson two is to take welding classes in high school or if you’re able to do trade school type thing while still in high school. Then by the time you graduate you’ll have basic skills. Also the instructors usually have contacts in those trades. Get yourself an inexpensive machine to practice on as well. Get into pipe welding or stainless and aluminum TIG work. Stay away from drugs and alcohol. Stick with it if it’s something you’re serious about and you’ll be making around $100,000 per year by the time your friends are graduating college crying about their debt.
Hey Paul just wondering how the 195 is holding up for you long term can you make a long term review video?
Can you grind & weld at the same time?
You should, it's on high idle all the time
Looks like the owner of that poor truck doesn't even know where the hood latch is 😂 Harbor Freight sells a shower valve kit for $12 that works well to remove the IPR Valve.
Can it run a Lincoln electric 125 flux core mig 0.35 wire will it run ?
Want the max can it welder ?
Hello Paul, I have really enjoyed watching your videos very informative and interesting so thank you for posting. What other books do you have in your collection please, and what others would you recommend purchasing? Thank you. Best regards, Stefano (UK).
6.0 is 500psi I don’t know what 7.3 is.
450-500 for 7.3
Dude you passed on a trailblazer 302 for the same money as that!!! Why???!
Haha I know it sounds crazy. But this was a brand new machine and the trailblazer was very used and the hours were unknown. Also the footprint. Not sure if you can tell from the videos but I would have to plate and reinforce the top of my device body to mount a welder. I liked how the Vulcan fit down in the bed with room to spare
Nice setup Paul 👍
Thank you!
Great vid. What are the dimensions like you have it without the wheel kit?
How is the initial arc start up? Have tried another small gen welder and the arc almost fizzled out when first striking
Nice clean startup, but you need to be running pretty warm warm for it to start cleab
What is the minimum amperage setting for welding with this machine?
I’ll have to check it out this evening not sure off the top of my head. I’ve welded some very thin sheet metal with it
@@Therenegadewrench cool. Thanks.
Your videos would be much more pleasant to view if you would hold the phone horizontally instead of vertically. You would get much more in the field of view.
Thanks for the advice. As you can tell I’m very new to this 😂
Why would you prefer the blue star? It’s more than double the price with less power. Just curious I’ve never used one.
The main reason I would prefer a Miller or Lincoln over Vulcan is accessibility to parts if needed. So far I haven’t had any issues or needed anything for my welder though and hopefully it stays that way!
Can you run a plasma cutter off the generator? Thinking the harbor freight titanium 45.
I’m not sure as I haven’t tried. I don’t currently own a plasma cutter I use an oxy acetelyne torch to cut everything
Depends on if you're also powering an air compressor while powering the plasma... or using an engine drive air compressor to lessen the electrical load.
Had mine for 2 years been great running daily for 6 hours a day daily
Same here it’s been an awesome machine so far. I just choke it and it fired up with the electric start first try every time
Does it not have an auto idle down setting? For when you stop a weld it idles down until tou strike an arc again? Could you do a test and see if you leave the welding power switch in the off position if it will still weld but then idle back down when you stop the weld please
It does have auto idle if your not welding or using a tool plugged into the outlets it will idle itself down. I’ve never tried welding with the welding power turned off though
Can you do a video demonstrating it’s auto idle? It makes no mention in any of the descriptions I’ve seen on it having that feature. Thanks !!
They do not idle down on weld . With the weld turned off, it will on generate / AC .
@@mikemiller5268 gotcha so only idles down on the ac generator side when no load is being applied. I don’t really understand why they designed it to need full constant power in weld mode. It should idle down in between welds like most engine driven welders IMO. Maybe I’m just familiar with this newer technology on engine drives
@RWB Outdoors cost wise compared to all of others ,I can live with it. I like how smooth it welds. I've built pipe corrals and done implement repair, so far its worked good for me.
Have you used 6010 ?, I have heard that some inverter based machines can run 6011 but struggle with 6010
It haven’t struggled a bit with 1/8” 6010. I run it pretty often as all my local stores are always out of 6012
6011*
This machine runs 6010 perfectly. The reason the new inverter based welders struggle with 6010 is because they have a really low open circuit voltage, usually around 30v. You need over 50v. The Outlaw has 70-78 open circuit voltage. No worries!
Nice. Just picked up a primeweld 285. Check me out when you get time. Thinking about picking one of these up now
Awesome man I’ll check your page out!
Great video, will it run your Lincoln 180 at full power?
Yes it will. I just sold my Lincoln 180 pro mig or I would do a video
Are tou running this welder day in day out ? Do you use it daily?
Yes I run it daily. Some days it may only get run for 30 minutes and other days it may run all day. It all depends on the job but so far I haven’t had any issues
@@Therenegadewrench what do you mean run for 30 mins? you mean duty cycle? all day? sorry im not understanding this...ty
@@hav1byte I believe he means that some days he only needs to use it for 30 mins, other days he welds all day
Would love a video about the tools you would buy if you know you want to do this! also maybe a background on the experience you have and what experience or education you think was most valuable to you? love the vids so far
Thank you I really appreciate it. I’ll try to get that video done ASAP
Also ur accuracy could be throw off by the arc force. If I’m running 80 and it feels like 100 . I’ll take that any day over running cold
Also can this run 6010 and 7018 good?
1/8” 6010 and 7018 run really smooth off of it
Can I throw 75 foot leads on this ? I got a sa200 I’m gonna be downsizing from
You should be able too. I usually run 50’ and haven’t had any problems. It runs 1/8 6010 and 7018 really well, that’s the biggest I’ve tried though.
Would you need 1-0 or 2-0 for 75foot leads?
@@bradfordpalmer2298 I run 2 . My Vulcan outlaw should be arriving this up coming week . I’ll update you how it holds up on 100 ft leads
@@Jten12how is the vulcan treating you?Might buy it
@@sebastiansalas5210 Amazing man, I have a small short video on my page so u can see how I have it rigged up. I’m going to be doing a full review soon so be on the lookout
Thank you for the book recommendations
Наверное лучший твой видос) Уверен будут еще лучше) удачи, бро
I was in Lowe's the other day looking at a convertible utility knife/scraper and noticed the blades were proprietary, I left it there.
Really good video. Can you make one with tools you would recommend for someone starting out as a new diesel mechanic.
For sure I’ll try to get it posted as soon as possible
Can you give a review of your hydraulic test kit?
Yes I will try to get that done today!
The proto precision 90 ratchets are the same as the Mac axis but have metal handles with knurling
Awesome thanks man! I know what I’ll be getting next time I need to replace a ratchet now
@@Therenegadewrench Zoro has the best price on them when you use their 20% codes they send out all the time
Interesting to see what other techs are using. I see a few items I'm probably going to invest in. Haven't seen those type of hose spoons. If you get a chance get some of the 1/4 inch half cut VIM hex and torx sockets.
I’ll look into those for sure! I’ve been really satisfied with VIM so far, especially not having a tool truck around here.
Great job videoing and commenting. Love to have more videos.
Thank you, and thanks for watching! I’ll do my best to keep more content coming
Thanks for sharing 👍
No problem 👍
