I taught myself to weld with TH-cam University and my Clarke 130EN I got for $50. Traded that for a trailer, sold it for $950 and got myself the welder I REALLY wanted, the Omnipro 220. Got it for an unbelievable $650, and it was unopened. Best $50 investment of my life!
You can also hook the TIG gas to the spool gas spot on the front and it works perfect push the pedal and gas comes on let off and gas turns off no more manual valve on torch just leave it open and gas works like it should
Bought the omnipro 220 found out it it didn't have high frequency start so even with the foot pedal the tig was scratch start 🤬 took the welder back to local harbor freight and traded for the protig 205 that welder does not disappoint even on 110 it welds damn good but with 220 its a beast
However, I have used a Lincoln 210mp. While it in itself is a good machine, if you buy it, you are paying for a name. Its got a good warranty and welds just as beautifully. Damn good deal!
Thats a frunk....not a trunk! Cool though, just got mine last week. Gonna check it out tomorrow. Maybe hide some candy, jerky and a juice pouch in there for days that I get hungry or thirsty.
I had sold a millermayic 220 acdc and bought this only drawback is o ac tig for aluminum but its 1/3rd price of the miller. Its is a damm good welder for the price I am impressed
Lol, as soon as you revieled the compartment, I paused the video , ran to the garage and checked. Lol how did every review miss it? I guess you can store tips or the wire feed roller in there. Not much room
I grab one about 18months ago runs great I got everything tig set up foot pedal spool gun and a flow meter all for under 2k out the door. Overall not bad good deal for the cost its a tough machine pushed it really hard. So far it's still alive. Also its lived outside or the a truck bed since I got it. What I dont like....its burns 7018 kinda weird and hard to start but gets it done also the mig gun is junk it's good for a what it is but I put a better mig gun on it from my praxair supply house. The only machine in this class I'd pick over it is the esab rebel 205 ic ac/dc. Only because the esab can do ac tig and has HF start.
@zinanwattstreeguy well tbh I haven't used the tig side yet but I do have alot of experience with scratch start tig so it should function Ina similar fashion maybe without the stretching motion. I got it as a solid mig box but having the added features is a bonus when im not always able to get my big lincoln diesel machine to a job. But I ran .045 solid wire the other day welding up 1/2 plate and I'll be damned it did it. I did pre heat ans run multiple passes to just be safe but this thing chooches.
@@devinmanderson I got one a few months ago and friggen love it, bought a titanium plasma 45 yesterday to compliment it So far only done stick and fcaw-s with it, it chooches, soon enough I'm going to build a cart for the 2 machines, so far so good although I'm still skeptical since it is harbor freight after all
I've had mine for 2+ years and I did know about the little compartment. I did see it on one video but I don't remember who's. Good find!
Yeah, I saw it on a video from someone probably two years ago.
Dang, how’d I miss this two years in!!?!

THIS IS GLORIOUS THANK YOU!!im a GTAW *safe travels from Cleveland Ohio!*
I couldn't believe you, I've had mine for lil over 3years, and never noticed that compartment 😅 ran right out to garage to see for myself 😆
However, I have used a Lincoln 210mp. While it in itself is a good machine, if you buy it, you are paying for a name. Its got a good warranty and welds just as beautifully. Damn good deal!
I used this exact machine in a major factory .. it handled everything with no real issue.
Thats a frunk....not a trunk! Cool though, just got mine last week. Gonna check it out tomorrow. Maybe hide some candy, jerky and a juice pouch in there for days that I get hungry or thirsty.
This video alone sealed the deal on me buying one.

I'm headed to the garage to see my secret trunk that I didn't know existed for years.
Bro me too
now I'm looking for stuff to fill it!
I keep just the tips....
Is that the first time you were honest about that statement?
Everything takes practice. This is a beautiful welder for the money
You just blew my f#%*ing mind.
Lol I posted it i thought was funny
Omg never knew that secret! 😂😂 just bought one used with a tank, and vulcan helmet, cart, 95cf owner tank welder $900. 👌
Ur freaking kidding me...🤯 I've owned mine for two and a half years
I've had this same welder for a few years and never knew this...
Can you weld mig with argon
How about that! I have owned mine for 3 years and just learned about the trunk cool!😁🛫
Nice!!!
Junk in the trunk compartment haha yesss thank you 😂
Unbelievable had the thing for 3 years never New that thanks 👍

I bought a primeweld Tig 225x for 800 to my house and I can do aluminum welding
wtf never knew about that compartment 3+years of using it. Huh
I've been having mine for 2 years as well and i never saw that little compartment jaja
WTF THAT JUNK IN THE TRUNK WOW YOU THE MAN
Nobody talk about that it doesn't take 33lb mig wire
Neighter does the miller multimatic 220 acdc
Yep no one showed it but you I have watched alot of videos haven't seen it thanks Forest

how does the lift start work with a foot pedal? I assume give it some pedal, strike like a match and let off the pedal to stop welding?

no way lulz.... i did not know that wow
I noticed that too 😂
Oh hell yeah, I never knew, shit I'm gonna go get me a second one just because of that little stash box 🤪
Wtf I've had this welder for a year and didn't know
Is this thing better than Hobart
I had an older Hobart like this better
How do you weld aluminum on that without ac tig
GET THE SPOOLGUN. sorry caps where on works great just takes a little getting use to but it works great
$1100!? 😠 I paid$1700 for mine I got everything you do. Machine, cart, consumables. Wtf. I just got the tig torch instead of the spool gun.
Dam never new
I thought only the 205 could do aluminum
The 205 can Tig aluminum and the 220 can spool gun aluminum.
Fuck sake no wayyyyy
Holy shit I didn’t know that wtf
Wtf I've had this welder for a year and didn't know
