AwithZ 24KW Spot Welder Review

This video was delayed like several others since Storm Helene hit our area hard back in the end September. Thanks for understanding. I ordered this spot welder and started testing before the storm and just now finishing up and getting a quick review out. I saved up to get the 24KW version just to make sure I will not come up short on the power to weld some factory nickel strips from time to time. The spot welder is very powerful and most likely the lower cost 14KW model would do most of the jobs I would ever need just fine. The cheap board only spot welders have been good for the price and do very well with .15 and thinner strips. I am glad to finally have a spot welder that will go above and beyond. Hope the find the video helpful and thanks for watching!

Congratulations on the new tool! You’ll get a lot of use out of it I’m sure. Once you’ve used that foot pedal you probably won’t ever want to be without it again!

[@scottlangevin2921]

Great video. I bought the same unit, just the step down with the 14.6 Kilowatts. Unit felt a little light for what I thought the super caps were going to be, so decided to look around and found your video before unboxing it. After watching your video ill give it a shot! Thanks for what you do!

[@CALDues]

Congrats on your new welder. I was kinda hoping you would drag in a '50s era car body panel for a Grand Finale 😂!

🤣

I stopped even trying with amazon spot welders and got a Malectrics. Worth every penny.

[@ThriftyToolShed]

The Malectrics looks very interesting! Has it worked well for you?

[@NameCannot.BeBlank]

Thank you good sir. Love your videos

[@ThriftyToolShed]

Thanks for your kind comment!

[@ElectromagneticVideos]

So glad your back Phillip! That an amazing amount of functionality for the price and I can sure see how useful it will be for the stuff you do.
Question: unless I missed it, sometimes the electrodes seemed to stick to the material being welded, other times they didn't. Any idea why? I'm guessing it relaes to the current, material type and material thickness?

[@ThriftyToolShed]

Thanks Peter! I believe a combination of the tips needing cleaning and the Power setting a bit too high is causing it to stick.

[@ElectromagneticVideos]

@@ThriftyToolShed Interesting - I'm sure you can tell by the question I have never actually used a sport welder :)

[@ThriftyToolShed]

@@ElectromagneticVideos
I'm definitely still trying to figure it out!

[@ElectromagneticVideos]

@@ThriftyToolShed Of course - a learning curve with any new piece of equipment!

[@nearlynativenursery8638]

Thrifty tool shed, I do not yet have your skill set and or set of tolls. I am a bit weak of electronic circuitry.
I one of the ego blower that quick and took apart to check for loose wire of connection, non found so I am assuming circuitry. I in Fayetteville, Ga. can you recommend some for me to take it to if your not near my location?

[@ThriftyToolShed]

Hello, fellow Georgian! I hope you all faired much better during the storm than we did in the Augusta area! I don't have a repair business at this time. It may possibly be some members on our Thrifty Tool Shed Face book page called On The Bench that may have a repair business. If you post on there maybe you will have some luck finding a repair shop. I don't know of many places that repair these type of tools. That's the main reason for starting this channel was learning together what we can. We are seeing more and more people with interest in repair and even some repair shops may be starting to work on such items. Best of luck to ya!
