- #stickwelding #welding #welder I bought the cheapest engine drive welder!
Here’s the link to it- amzn.to/40jQwlS
For only $1000 how could I go wrong? Have it the hardest test I could think of and set out to weld a 1” deep crack in a excavator bucket. Can it weld it? You’ll have to watch and see. I tested it with every welding rod I would normally use “7018, 6010 and 6011. We test the power outlets with my high amp grinders to see if they hold up!
Here’s some other welders tools I used -
3m respirator- amzn.to/3JrqcPO
Black stallion welding gloves- amzn.to/3YZGTrh
Bocomal welding jacket- amzn.to/3Trbz3y
Hobart welding helmet- amzn.to/3lhUJaY

got that exact welder at TSC it listed for $1300 marked down to 850.00 so when she scanned it , it said $480.00 close out, brand new in the box, i have 3 migs and 1 tig and this gas powererd i have used in the field for
about 2yrs. on various jobs, the last was around 8 hrs of welding and only used about a 1/1/2 gallons of gas all day very happy with this machine...
You stole that.
"IT EVEN COMES WITH A FUCKING FUNNEL" had me crying! 00:58
Nice to see the versatility of something like this to even a hobbyist welder. Also like to see that PPE. Sets a good example for all the young welders starting out in the industry or even at home.
I see those cheap ass respirators everywhere now. Indoors, outdoors whatever. Even the welders at my shop that have exhaust hoods use them.
I run one all day at the job site, good on gas. Welds 7018 really good. Got a 50 (stinger) and 45 (ground) leads on it. I really like it. God is great.
*engineers
The Vulcan outlaw from harbor freight is a great deal. Been working almost every day without a hitch for a year. Great machine!!
Right on
Lincoln knock off. Wiring is not as good
@@wcmwfab935 it doesn’t matter what it knocks off or if the wirings isn’t as good. All that matters is that mother fuckers running.
@@MeltinMetalAnthony Shut up >:(.
That’s my welder I just ordered . Had a short hood 200 , downsized , needed something that can do multi process such as letting me weld mig off the generator , Running Chop saws and stuff as well as stick weld. The outlaw 195 is very underrated !
Definitely seems an excellent starter welder for someone to get started with cool little package and with all the bits can’t complain. Great work and great video 👍👍
Totally agree
Someone else already answered but yeah that weird plug should have a matching socket on the side of the machine so you can charge 12V batteries. They make it that shape so you can't accidentally plug it into a normal 120V socket.
Bingo. I have that with a set of jumper cables for 2 of my small gens. Jumped my pickup a couple of times. It's a must have and HF used to have it on their small gens and included a set of jumper cables
Nice find for those that do not have one of the tool outlets near them. The starter and wheel kit add good value to the package.
Hey Anthony, if you haven't read through that manual yet or somebody hasn't said it yet, the cord with the clips and the odd plug end on it is a battery charging cord. On many portable gensets that have electric start instead of recoil it works two ways. First it allows you to charge a car battery from running your generator and second, but a little more of an unauthorized use, it allows you to charge the battery on the generator if it's dead by clipping a battery charger to it or clipping it to your car battery while the engine is running instead of digging the battery out of the generator. I enjoy your videos whenever one pops up in the queue. That unit reminds me of the old Lincoln Weldanpower units you'd get at a rental yard, good for a pinch when your normal rig goes down. I'd be interested to see if that could run a squirt rig suitcase in a pinch. I never tried but it'd be interesting to try. I ran a lot more FCAW than stick and a lot more MIG than FCAW. But hey, if the metal's burnin' I'm earnin'. I learned a long time ago that it doesn't matter the process, so long as you know how to make it run right. Keep meltin metal Anthony😉
Right on that would be interesting to see if it’d run a suit case
We have used the th-cam.com/users/postUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y for probably 30 hours with our camper and it’s been great! The noise level is really only noticeable when running the AC and other appliances like the microwave, hair dryer, or coffee pot. It’s not huge like other ones and it has wheels so even at 90lbs, I can move it!
Great video as always. I've been looking for an engine-drive machine that doesn't cost a fortune (I only do a little mobile work), and this might be just the answer. Thanks again, man!
Glad to help
@@MeltinMetalAnthony have to agree , the man makes the welder not the machine ☝️✌️🙏💪☯️🥱
Great review young man. I bought my engine drive welder generator off a friend for £500 ($700?) and he used in his service van for at least three years. It only 200amps, has one 110v and one 240v Single Phase outlets but it's done quite a bit of work for me that has made it pay for itself. It will even run my 260amp Single Phase Mig welder on its lowest settings to weld up a car when there was a power cut locally.
Sure, l would love a big diesel engine Lincoln or Miller welder. But they cost an absolute fortune here in the UK.
Great video and BRILLIANT outro as usual! 😂
Thanks brother
I absolutely love your content. You've seriously boosted my confidence in starting my own business.
Great to hear!
Do it
Just found your channel! I ordered this machine a few days ago and it already arrived.
My profession now is wildland firefighting, but one of the heavy equipment guys broke the grapple on their logging forwarder on a fire in Cali so my captain volunteered me into fixing it up, so I fixed it for them with a HF welder hooked into a HF generator, and I swore I'll never be caught in that situation ever again, it was infuriating but somehow it worked...
I'm excited to put this guy to work, I would be willing to get back into welding and out of fire again if all things go well.
Business expenses tax write off
Glad u did a real test on it. Kind of tired of seeing guys run a 1” bead or 2 on a piece of plate in the shop and saying how great it is 😂. Keep it up brother 👍
Thanks 👍
Would you please keep us up with the welder because everybody always has good reviews out-of-the-box. What matters is a year or two years down the road. But it does do a nice job
For sure a decent back up macine. When the jobs gotta get done, its gotta get done.
That's not bad at all. I had an old Weldanpower engine driven welder that had to have been 50 years old. Worked like a champ
Dude me too, literally just sold it last week for 2 grand more than I paid 5 years ago lol
Looks like a good deal as a backup or occasional use machine. It'll be interesting to see how it holds up long term. That would be my only concern.
Nice review! I bought a similar machine for $400. It's a very old Multiquip ACX-170S. Nice smooth arc and a push button start.
Very cool!
Cool video I'd love to see you test more cheap welders
Great suggestion!
Lol the vevor mig 270 I got I am in love with so far , who knows how long it will last but so far so good !!!! As much as I hate to give china money it was kind of my only option for a small mig machine in my price range I looked high and low for a decent used machine and people are out of their minds on used welder prices
i seen those in a facebook ad, they are trying to sell those for $5800 plus taxes... so i got a $50 broken 7000watt dewalt generator a 3.08 8.8 ford differential and a 4.6 V8 triton engine, 75hz would be 1500rpm "9000watt". weld up a 3 bolt flange that bolts to the crack shaft pully and a recycled steering shaft joint that slips over it. 2000rpm on the engine would be 100hz on the generator 1.7X output braker tripping. $50 PTO welder... 50amp to run 5/32 rod, 90amp to run 3/16 rod, sputtering minimum throughput that comes out clean... 12000watt at 100hz... 408 volts.
Looks like a good welding machine to use around the farm when stuff breaks in the fields. ✌🏻
You got that right!
Bro. I look forward to your videos. Pure education, and entertainment. Keep up the good work. 💪🏼
Love watching Anthony. He really knows his stuff. Makes me more confident in getting my own business going. Love this channel. Keep going you are Great.
Thanks man! I’ll do my best
Some cheap machines don't burn 6010 rods, but 6011 will usually work. Both rods are very similar.
Thank you, Im going to be buying a small engine drive to put on an f150. In this category I've been looking at the Vulcan outlaw, Esab Ruffian, Tomahawk 210, and I keep coming back to this as well maybe. I think im going to go with the Tomahawk as it is advertised to work with 6010 comes with leads and tig torch but its nice to know I can make this one work if I want to spend a little more on the air comp for the rig setup.
Tomahawk runs 6010 finer adjustments and has idle control, Ruffian can kind of brother in-law you can run near highest amps and still run a small mig welder if you want someone tacking and assembling while someone welds up. The Vulcan less features but better price more amps than Esab if you or anyone has any experience that would help please let me know, would help the final setup for this little shotgun truck.
Klutch makes an engine drive welder for 2000 similar to the miller bluestar. My old boss had one and it always came in clutch. I have a miller wildcat I got for 1200 when I first went off on my own been running strong ever since.
You are probably one of the funniest guys on the tube I don't weld but what ever
Thanks man!
Hey Anthony, Jose from Puerto Rico. Nice job man! I got a generator I bought years ago for 600 bucks. I'm gonna give it a shot and see what happens. Furthermore, I've been subscribed to your channel for quite some time and I haven't commented lately, but this video caught my eye. This is something I can probably do too.
Thank you for making and posting this video.
Man, you’re always keeping it real. That outro cracked me up! Keep up the good work
Thanks! Will do!
That weird plug is PROBABLY for the DC output. Intended as Battery charger I think
That odd plug is for the 12 volt out.
You can charge batteries with this.
See if it has an option to manually set the throttle.
Right now it sounds like it is in fuel saver mode where it adjusts the RPMs to match output.
That is why it take it a second to come up to full power.
My generator will let you turn that off and manually set the throttle.
If you can do that on this I think you will like it more.
I found the manual on line.
It doesn't say anything about a manual throttle.
I guess you will have to live with that slight hesitation at the start.
If you are starting out on a budget you are probably better off to just buy a 220 Volt generator and a 220 Volt welder.
That is pretty much always cheaper than buying a generator with a welder built in.
hey man would you recommend the harbor freight predator 9500 quiet inverter generator and say a lincoln tombstone stick welder?
So I was taken aback by the profanity, but when I saw the welds, I was like "fuck yeah, this guy's fuckin legit!" I fuckin subscribed! Hahahaha. Awesome review bro! 😂👊🏼
That plug is for charging a 12v battery. It is not an automatic shut off it can over charge a battery if left unattended. But looks like a decent unit.
Great machine for the money and a real winner for small repair jobs. A word of advice on small Chinese engines, do a few oil flushes as it runs in. They are known for shavings from manufacturing being left behind. Use exactly the grade recommended as they are splash fed. Often a straight 30 weight is called for.
A bit of care and you have a fantastic backup machine or a small odd job machine you can cart in the trunk of your family car, pays for itself the first welding job you do!
I found an online manual which says Duty Cycle is @190A 1.5 minutes per 10 minutes (8.5 minutes resting) and @
Dang not so good! Thank you for the info brother
"Some Chinese bullshit if I ever saw it" lmao
Your attitude alone gets a sub from a fellow arc jockey 🤘
That strange plug is 12v DC output for charging batteries
Makes sense! Thank you
I love the sign off man. "If you didnt like it, GFY" I look forward to that every time
Lol
Flat out won me over the last minute I subscribed right then
I just bought one of these for a backup , it’s not a Miller bay any means but it’s a welder when you need one!
Dude, your videos make me laugh more consistently than anything else on youtube.
Can you see what the generator side will do ? Try to run a ,110 mig welder off it. Maybe even a 220 mig welder
The last line kills me and is why I love this dudes content 😂
Love your channel Anthony and how pragmatic you ate, When the
miller trailblazer isn't available, this works. It's all about prep on multi pass.
Shane Gannon, AWS CWI 2009
I'm new to the channel, I like your attitude and your realistic way of speaking, feels like I'm right there with you in person and your not worried about a camera watching you because of what squirmy little bitches might say, you have more than earned my subscription, thank you Sir.
Glad to read a comment from a real MF thanks for the sub!
Thanks I was in the market for a engine driven welder and this reviews helps with the process thanks Ant
No problem 👍
Epic drinking game: take a shot every tine he says 'fuckin'
I wish Everlast made an engine drive welder that ran 250amp AC/DC 60%+ duty cycle to compete with red and blue
The best welder is the one you got. I can make shit stick together but I’m by no means a professional welder and that thing would be perfect for the Probly 25 times a year I’d use it
The plug / alligator clips charges your lead acid battery that's included with the unit.
Love that ending 😭😭 “go f yourself I don’t give 2 sh*ts”😭😭😂😂😂
The power you need to burn a stick welding is just crazy 😮
*Hands down, you have the best **_Like & Subscribe_** tagline on YT.*
🤣
That's not a bad machine for the money. Would have never thought it would weld that nice especially with 6010
Me either!
6010 sets the standard. The fact that it ran through a few of them with no issues is impressive. Wondering how long it’ll last.
That’s a 7018. Probably 3/16. Or a 6011. Either way it’s laying down. Not stacking like dimes per the 6010
"Would i trade it for my Lincoln? Fuck no" Hahaha +1 subscriber right here 👌
hook a clamp meter up to the work lead and see how many amps that thing will actually run at max. That would be a good test to run.
Maybe I’ll bring it to John and bank test it
I just took a week welding course, it is a badass welding setup. They have every machine you can think of. The fact of the matter, even with very expensive machines, Allot of the guys weren't that good at welding. Just a matter of your skill. You can have a torch in the forest to start a fire, but some guys just need 2 sticks.
I like your closing statement its dope. Well put. Bsafe dude
Finally, I've been looking for a review or anything on these and never found anything, and now my favorite TH-camr got the exact one I was looking at for Backup cause I have a low hours weldanpower 225
Glad I could help!
Love the outro brother! Fuck the haters. Your not a fuckin entertainer or actor or some shit, the people can take it or leave it for what it is; genuine quality content
That V type plug with the battery clips is for 12V charging.
I couldn't pass up a Honda 140 welder generator, cost about the same, used vintage but pretty clean.
Great video! Nice work. Looks good.
For all you equipment welding pipe welders who have to have a 6010 root bead,I have a 6010 root hanging for you!!!!
Most generators nowadays have a low oil cutoff that kills spark if it's low.
This machine is good for thick metal only!! You won’t be able to weld on thin metal! I bought this machine about a year and a half, mainly used it as generator to power a smaller machine
The plug is for a 12volt battery charger, built in. Had a small Coleman gen, with one years ago.
You confirmed I'm going to school for welding. Great review keep it up sir.
I had a Lincoln weldnpower 125. I could put it in the bed of my truck by myself, Couldn't do that with my ranger or sa300. Really the only "better" routes I can think of for low budget would be buying a omnipro 220 from harbor freight then 9kw generator. It would cost 3-4 times as much but it's scaleable and would give 10x the versatility.
The funky two prong plug with alligator clamps is for charging an external battery like a car or something like that. Can't jump start but just a nice little extra.
Never change how you talk bro, love it 🙏🏻
You should do a bare bones or “budget” series on everything you need to start your own business and do jobs with it
Good idea
I thought I was the only one who swears like a pirate and laugh my lmfao. I love how genuine this guy is, cool content man
Right on. If it works it works.
I like your attitude Sir , great way to deal with the troll :)
Did ya have much issue fitting the leads? & what plate thickness could you weld with it pls ? Looked like u almost had it wound right out. Just asking cos I'm looking for a good cheap machine at the moment. Great video 👍
You weld pretty f"ing good my friend! ... Local Lecanto here
That little cable you were wondering what was for I believe it is a battery charging cable. Was wondering if you can weld 5/32 7018. Also could you please tell us what the duty cycle is on that machine. Thanks for the demo.
I'd like a little more power, say, 5000 watts but it does the job. Nice to see an actual job with a welder not just tacking some angle iron. For the money it looks like a perfect weekend warrior or backup rig
Only engine drives i trust is the ones that can do a 6010 open root
That’s on the welder
I got one of the harbor freight Vulcans I love that machine.
the plug is for 12 volts at 1:48...my Yamaha Gen. from 1988 had one
Would you consider this a good welder for semi trailer work
Sure why not
The weird chinese plug thing is a 12v battery charger
That weird plug with alligator clips on it is usually a 12v out put for charging car batteries and shit. We’ll should be anyway
That machine worked it out once you got your heat settings...👍🤔🎯🔥 Nice deal for a backup.,..💎
I have the same machine in the back of my service van.....I rarely ever use it but when I do it works well enough once you guess the amperage......
What’s your little grinder that you’re using to knock the slag off? Seems handy
How do you keep your hands on the rod my rods gets hot and burn me a little bit through my Tig gloves do mig gloves really make that big of a difference and I use the Harbor freight Titanium 140 multi process welder and my stick welder only goes to 75 Amps
Looks like it did great. I just can’t stand the noise of that type of machine. The purr of my old SA200 is much more relaxing.
Looks like a great deal.
Yup I’m a new home hobby welder just getting into the welding world🤙🤙
That strange plug is a battery charger plug for charging batteries only that's why it's different
Cool video man. It informed me more about this generator. I wanted to ask you your pro opinion on which generator you would recommend to pair with my Lincoln ac/dc tombstone stock welder to use out on the field/ ranch? I was considering the Cummins 9500df but not sure if it’s a good choice. That model is made in Vietnam but would rather get a USA made one. Any recommendations for USA generators or a decent one made overseas? Thank you & have a great day
I'd ask how it runs after putting some long hours in, but this post is 6 hours old! LoL! Definitely a sweet buy. I use 1/16 and 5/64 wire with the LN...that wouldn't work. Perfect for stick
My new favorite channel by far keep it up brother when can we see you review that harbor freight engine drive? There is only a few videos out there and they sent the most in-depth shit might get some views
Didn’t buy that one maybe one day
