I really really really want to like this welder. Multiprocess and under $1k? Yes please.
Cliffnotes, the welder is great, but Harbor Freight needs to step up their customer service game!

Pro tip : watch movies at Flixzone. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies recently.
@Orion Odin yup, have been using flixzone} for years myself =)
If the welder works for you and you are able to weld what you want to then it is a good welder for you. One thing that I have seen in lower price welders is that they tend to have a lower duty cycle, for example 20% at max amperage vs 40% for a higher priced commercial welder of the same nominal amp rating. Another is that the lower cost welders may not actually be putting out the set amperage level. The duty cycle is important as it affects productivity. If you find out in your work that the machine is regularly shutting down because of duty cycle limitations, you need to move up to a higher capacity welder. I liked your presentation and I thought that it was very good.
PS: You are absolutely right about customer service. I recently purchased a Square Wave TIG 200 from Lincoln. I set it up and was checking it out. There was a problem with the gas regulator holding the set point. It would drift up and down while I was welding. I contacted Lincoln through the chat on their website. After verifying the serial number on my machine, the first question from the service rep was "What is your shipping address?".
I got to use these for almost a year doing sanitary stainless process piping for breweries. We NEVER had a problem with them, and we were using them for commercial work!
I was beyond surprised but the quality $800 can buy you.
In my opinion, dollar for dollar.. this is the best deal on the market.
You did a great job explaining this unit. I’m a welder and it’s nice to see these other big guys get some competition! And finally the prices are beginning to come down with some better equipment and tools being developed. Again thank you for your video and time.
I bought one a year ago. welded aluminum, stainless, mig, tig spool gun, arc. I love it. mig is really nice but I was amazed at the stick weld ability.
DONT SPRAY ANTI SPATTER WHERE YOU ARE WELDING! It contaminates the weld. A good thing to try is marking out where you are welding, then cover it and spray anti spatter outside of the area to be welded. What I do for T joints is grab a piece of blue painter's tape put it in the joint half on each side and then spray it down, remove the tape and weld it. Also push dont drag with solid wire.
Dragging with solid wire produces better penetration because you're hammering wire into the base metal. If you push your short occurs on the puddle and only the latent heat fuses to the base metal. Unless you're going uphill or have huge root openings, you should pull.
Ummm, don't spray anti-spatter on the weld bevel. When I have to use anti-spatter because of cosmetic reasons, I will shield the weld bevel area and about a 1/4" or so outside of the weld bevel area when I spray the anti-spatter.
@@53prime With MIG, there isn't much of a push or pull angle, your gun should be within 10 degrees of perpendicular* to the weld bevel. I tend to push for several reasons, one is so that the shielding gas flow is in the direction of travel and two, so that I can see the puddle. At least that is the way I learned it and practiced it.
* for butt welds, for inside and outside corner welds the angle should be split between the two plates forming the angle.
I went ahead an bought the welder a few weeks ago for my hobby shop. I'm not a very experience welder, but I can do what I need to do. My previous welder was the HF Flux Core...very weak, but it sufficed for small things. First thing I noticed is that it lays down flux-core like butter, even on 120. Running 6018 stick is also no problem. I haven't run in it MIG yet (no gas), but I'm looking forward to getting that set up in the near future. Don't know if I'll ever run tig. My son is certified, and was very impressed with the quality, especially for the price. If you're a hobby guy like myself, I see no reason why this setup won't work for you.
I finally bought one after a few months of watching and reading reviews. I had an issue with my first one but HF resolved the issue and I have had an outstanding welder for the money.
couldn't agree more. Since that first hiccup the welder has been nails!
I used to work as a welder in a machine shop, but now I only do it on the side out of my shop. I miss Tig welding, so I have been thinking of trying this machine; you sold me. I am looking forward to using it. Thanks for the video.
sweet man! I just got done welding for about three hours with it today. Has not hiccuped once!
Thank you for this video. I'm just a beginner and this was extremely helpful with the purchase of a welder. I'm a jeep guy but I get so much out of your videos. Thanks again. D Starr
One love brother one love!! Appreciate the kind words!
The HF welder is definitely a good welder for the home gamer. Ive been welding for a while and in the shop the miller xmt's are always throwing help 7. So i think vulcan can hold its own. But ave took one apart. Good parts but customer service and aftermarket accessories are the weak points
Good call on the mask I have the same one it's crazy how clear it is. You should get a 1.5x or 2x cheater lense for it really helps you see even better.
I was considering a vulcan, however, in the shops I worked in have had millers. So even though my Miller 220 AC/DC was three times the cost. I got better accessories, repair shops everywhere if needed, available parts. I just bit the bullet and went blue. Now the Omni Pero is really like the cheaper Miller 215 that is about $700 more. I say if you are investing just go with them Miller. I never regretted it.
Its a decent welder. Its not as efficient as the esab, miller, lincoln as it uses more amps, but it welds just as good. If you got the money to swing it buy it!. Get the extended warranty when you buy it.. Or dont buy it. That warranty alone is worth all that 100$ extra. Dont be dumb. Hf has the absolute best warranty conditions ever. They ask no questions...they simply radio the back. And in 5 minutes youre back on the road. You cant beat that kinda customer service
Thanks for the review man. I’ve been looking at this welder since before they released it in stores for building choppers. I might give it a shot considering the return policy. You’ve got a new subscriber!
Thanks for the comment and subscription! It is a pretty sweet welder. I have had it about year give or take, and it is performing awesome. I am definitely the weak link in the setup!
I have used it to build a back half frame for my blazer and weld all the link brackets, axle truss etc. It never even stumbled.
I bought this welder and have had good luck so far. I buy a lot of tools from there. Some are junk and some are well worth the money. One thing I will say about the harbor freight warranty is you can even bring it back and just swap it out for a new one, one day before the warranty is up. No one really knows anything about welders there but I think for under $1000 for the home gamer this is a great deal.
Agree. Maybe it’s time for a revisit to the welder six months in....
Spoiler alert 🚨 the welder is awesome 👏
But with the truck frame about to get cut, replaced, sleeved, seamed and burned in I’m gonna be putting in some hours and I’m looking forward to it!
Awesome can't wait to see it.. I just subbed. Great content. Keep up the good work.
I really like your channel! I just subscribed! As for going up against Miller and Lincoln because they have old tombstone welders that are still going strong after decades of use, that's an unfair comparison, because those are old, heavy transformer based machines that are rock solid, amp hogs and heavy. All these new welders are inverter welders. pure electronics! fast switching IGBT transistors doing the work. Electronics can break and they do. Even with Miller, Lincoln, and Hobart. You can pull up all sorts of warranty issues on line that are half asses honored, or not honored by Miller, Lincoln, and Hobart.Thanks again for your channel!
The Millermatic 250 Mig welder comes to mind. Miller royally shit on their dealers, left them hanging dealing with pissed off customers.
Have a mig max 215 at my school shop and an omnipro 220 at home, haven't used the omnipro yet but am excited to start learning how
Got 2 HF stores 1 hour west and 1 hour east. Most of the basic needs and the extras are near by the unit, on the shelf, for this welder.
Lincoln made their legacy on Tombstones and SA200s.
Miller has their legacy.
I can't afford the Lincoln Power Mig 210MP
Or a Miller 211.
This would do the trick.
A lot of welders are buying this for starting but it’s a real good welder I can’t complain about it I seen a lot of good reviews about it
Good video, and good discussion. I agree with others, it’s the new Craftsman. They now have enough of a footprint to where they can just swap units. Troubleshooting and shipping repair parts is now more expensive and complicated than just getting a new one. I guess they take those units, fix the problem, and probably just sell them as refurbs....or perhaps reuse parts?
your guess is as good as mine.
MIG,TIG,STICK, AND FLUX CORED THATS DOPE.. I want to get one. as long as it offers an extended warranty (like 3 years) then I'm in... I can build...
I've got that exact one! I love it! I've so got the Vulcan Welding helmet! Amazing clear view! (I'm pretty sure that it has a bigger viewing area than yours) And it doesn't look green!
How is your welder holding?
Vupcan is not a bad welding machine I have one and I may said I can compare whit my Lincoln power mig 210
I second the V. Hood. Freaking awesome for the price. I just bought a MigMax 215.. currently still in the box
@@lsxpower3367 are you asking me? It's still works great! I don't use it to make money, but my buddy has borrowed it a few times for his shop. He says it's no Miller, but it works well enough.
Appreciate the review, about to pick one of these welders up, I don't get much time and money is such a premium with 2 little ones that demand my full financial attention. I hope it will help me continue on with my project dreams and allow me to have something cool my girls will be proud and safe to ride in. Thanks brother
Heck yea man. Thanks for the comment. After the bumps in the beginning the new machine has been solid.
You should definitely get some filler rods and a bottle of Argon to test out TIG, there's nothing like stacking dimes in a long sleeve cotton shirt and shorts. It's a steep learning curve but really rewarding once you get the hang of it.
yea, I am pretty stoked to try TIG. I need to get a gun and pedal though.
that's one downside I've noticed about the TIG setup for this machine, you have to purchase the tig torch separate and even then it doesn't come with a foot pedal
OK, Harbor Freight now only has a 90 day warranty on the Vulcan, not one year like they did when I purchased mine. My unit is 2 yrs old and sucked some metal dust into the rear fan. Blew up 2 power transistors. Call to HF revealed that there are no internal parts available and they don't have any idea where I could take it for repairs. So it is a $1K doorstop unless I tear it apart and see what I can do. I happen to have some expert help with my brother the E engineer so we got it apart and pulled the 2 blown transistors, luckily got the numbers off and ordered new ones from Digikey. Today will install them and see if the repair worked, but I am pretty confident. I'd ask you if yours was out of warranty and the gas solinoid failed, what would you do? Doorstop?
That’s a very interesting question. I am just about to put out my long term review. I haven’t had any problems but sounds like a couple of you guys have
Ditto, am a newbie and I am looking for a welder that I don’t have to worry about “upgrading” in the future. I own a farm and have varied needs for welding and have relied on friends and neighbors up till now. Good video.
This welder is probably a good choice for you, with the ability to run different processes and voltages. If you are outside, you can run stick or flux core; if you are inside, you can use MIG or TIG. For most jobs, the duty cycle should not be an issue, even at 110V.
Thanks for replying, I’m actually going to harbor freight tomorrow and purchasing.
Thx for the review. Also started with a cheap helmet and after being frustrated I bought that same helmet. I need glasses to see up close and I bought a lense with my glasses number I use. Great product.
Good review, but please don’t say flux core isn’t mig, it is but it’s used in different applications, like take your welder outside with a little bit of wind and try welding with solid core wire or on rusty dirty equipment. I can as long as I mig with flux core. Both produce a shielding gas, it’s just in the way they do it is the only difference. Again good review.
Great point!
I can't find where I read the comment but the vulcan line or maybe just the 220 was designed by a guy who designed one of the miller welders, something like that. I wish I had more time to look up that info for you but search through the interwebs and you should find that reference
you have amazing points on the Lincoln and Miller reputation as a 20-year product and yes these companies have amazing customer service and I agree harbor freight doesn't have good customer service
Antonio Claudio Michael I’ll never buy blue, every Miller I’ve ever seen at work or that friends own, is always broken or needing repairs. Sure some get hard use but it never fails millers always need replacement parts to keep running.
We have a $4k MiG unit at our maintenance shop, things been broken for 4 years. They got tired of fixing it so they just leave it broken.
Thanks for the honest review. I'm looking for a multi process welder for stuff around the garage but don't want to spend $2 grand on something that will get used a half dozen times a year. If I welded for a living I wouldn't hesitate to go for one of the big name brands but for what I' doing this is another "toy" and I can't justify buying something expensive
Hello Merrick, i have the 215 from vulcan, i bought it at hf, on dsale, as is type of purchase, the parts were not there, but the one thing i have fopind in your case, is that if you are under warranty you can just go and exchange the unit in stead of trying ti fix it, with the other boys you have to send it to be serviced and could set you back days and even weeks, my case with milwauke tools, and got them back just to have them brake again within a week, hf, yes it may be a hassle to go and replace but you can have it the same day, i guess is safe to say is cheaper than sending the other units in for repair, hope it helps, keep up the good work, love your show....
When it comes to customer service, you will only find that at the store for now. They don't ask any questions when you return stuff.
Exactly. I never mess with HF customer service. Just hold onto receipts, and I've never had a problem with returns or exchanges. If it doesn't work out of the box, I just run it back to the store.
Customer service should go a lot farther than just replacing an item...
that really isn't even customer service...
all that is is honoring a warranty
So, customer support in the form of a smiling face taking your welder in for a warranty determination then (hopefully) fixing your welder and sending it back a month later vs. a smiling face taking your welder in and handing you a brand new one in the box? I'll take the instant brand new one in the box. At half the price of the big boys I can live without the warm & fuzzies a 'legendary reputation' provides; I'll be melting metal while the other guy sits waiting, all warm & fuzzy.
@@boosted2.4_sky you are right but how many times do companies truly honor their warranties? I know I get screwed on a yearly basis.
@@chevellecarcass I feel a lot of companies do honor their warranty.... but then you have the weasels that work the loopholes......I'd buy from someone else then... drop em....
Dude you rock, i ordered a DIY 4X gauntlet rear bumper and will have to weld the bracket for the spare tire, was considering the Harbor freight one but think i'm going with a lincoln, as you said they have great customer service and i'm willing to pay for that, if everyone buys the cheapest around then the days of having quality products will be over
I wouldn't be afraid of the Vulcan. It is getting the job done. I am willing to chalk up the dud as a fluke. The new one has been performing great.
Sold my Lincoln after buying a Vulcan. I was fortunate to buy one for $720 with coupon. Just hope I didn’t screw up by doing so. Had it for 6 months with out using it
Any update on the Harbor Freight welder? How much have you used it? Thank you.
Patrick Wagz two years now and still never used it
@@pappydanny58 thanks, I bought an air-powered hardwood flooring nailer from Harbor Freight over 5 years ago... still haven't used it!!
Patrick Wagz your probably like me got to have but probably will never use it
Can you do a stress test for micro fractures?
Weld a two 1" wide 6-8 inches long (longer the safer each.) Beveled edges together then grind flat. after that bend the piece in half to check for voids?
This will not only. Show the quality and penitration of the welder. But your skill level in understaing penetration. Your welds are great, I am interested in the quality of welds from the welder.
I purchased the Omnipro 220 as a budget MP... But soon after I REGRETTED it. Not because anything failing... But because I found out about "Everlast" welders. They are FAR SUPERIOR than these highly outdated machines and actually have awesome customer support and warranty. Your literally looking at about $100-$200 price difference but the Everlast actually comes with more stuff making it a better bang for your buck
I’ve been using my Vulcan for about three years now. Prob got 15 12 pound rolls of wire through it. It kicks butt. It’s a great welder.
With Harbor Freight, there is no one to call, you just take it back and get a new one, problem solved, no wasting time trouble shooting. If you get a brand new one and it does the same thing, then trouble shoot on your end. You still get a brand new machine.
Thanks for the review. Harbor Freight has great customer service if you consider swapping it out for a new unit customer service. Costco does the same thing. No repairs just swap it out.
that is nice. Just not super convenient if you dont live near one, or they dont have any in stock.
@@MerricksGarage or if its four years old...
Thx man. You hit on great points. I'd like to see more of you unique parts your welding and fabricating.
Take a look at the four link frame build series. I built a frame for my K5 blazer using this welder
Finally someone who talks about a welder after the fact. Every welder will weld out of the box. What separates a shit box from a quality welder is how it works after 5... 10 years...
Doing 2 beads and calling it an amazing welder is shit and too many people on TH-cam do this crap.
Great video, little long but good video.
5 to 10 years!?!?! if its a new product im not trying to wait a decade for a review..... i would say 6 months should be fine especially if youve looked to see if anyone had complaints on forums about it or anything...
I've had my Vulcan for 45 years. Still going strong.
Great review, I’ve been curious about the Vulcan line. On another note, I noticed a big change in the shooting and production style on this video and I have to say it was awesome! One of the best I’ve seen on TH-cam.
I don’t know why some companies build cheap product I’m a tool enthusiast I like to have good tools
I've been using the HF 90 amp for a while now, does a fair job but I have limitations with the circuit in my garage. WFS over 5 pops my breaker with 030 wire. With a 20% duty cycle it's hard to get much welding done. However, most inverter type welders regardless of cost have a 20-30% duty cycle for sometimes 5 to 10 times the cost. So just get the HF welder and if anyone gives you any shit, just smack them in the face with the 500 bucks you saved.
I have welder for two year no problem ever with it
I’ve heard of that name brand before and I heard they had to take it out of the market because he copied the same thing of the Lincoln but I’ve heard people buying this brand and it’s really good VULCAN I’ve seen people do projects with this machine and it works
Fantastic please give us an update on the welder. Thanks
will do. Finishing up a custom four link and frame build for my rock crawler with it right now. It has been flawless
im about ready to give the titanium variant a go! will let you know how it is.
yea, keep us posted. Saw the release. What are the major differences?
Merricks Garage looks like the “titanium” is the pro grade where as the “Vulcan” is industrial grade. But the Vulcans have price hiked by about 150$ so I figured I’d try the titanium while it’s cheap. Looks like a little less amperage but same wire drive. I’ll test when I can
The Titanium has a cheaper MIG Gun. The Titanium has smaller and probably cheaper connectors, and to use 110V you add an adapter onto the end of the 220V plug, whereas the OmniPro has a completely separate power cord. The Titanium comes with the TIG gun, the OmniPro does not. The OmniPro's LCD screen is more user friendly.
Goodmorning James from fort apache Arizona...
I wouldn't use gas on structural always been told it's not safe for heavy work by the weld bosses but I have been welding 17 years Lincoln is great in shop Miller great on a rig harbor freight for the quick job lasts a week.
Honestly the review hit the points that really matter. My shop just got an esab 235 mp but blew up on us more than likely user error but had it less than a week, so we'll see what esab says. Theyll probably replace it but for $2300, If they wont thats enough for 2 vulcans and materials. But esab is a heavy hitter in the industry. 900 for a vulcan and if it blows up, thats the problem. We know it can mig. But what's the tig and stick like. Im not buying it soley for mig. Mor often than not i want stick for away from home and tig for stainless and small welds. Mig for easy weldin. Good video, weird drift on the camera angles tho lol.
One drawback is that you do not have high frequency start for TIG.
Hi! Can you demonstrate the stick welding?!))) Thank you.
Please do one on the titanium unlimited 200A review 🙏 😀
Yeah that was a real good review explained everything of the machine in the hiccups with that machine
SWEET!!! Bill Burr has a fab channel on TH-cam
Ha ha. I get that a lot. Is it the way I talk or look?
@@MerricksGarage both, lol
You say 20 year guarantee .. sorry to say Lincoln nor miller give that and never have. I’ve been welding for 20years and most I’ve seen is maybe 5 years. And about your gas issue it sounded definitely like a solenoid it happens in all of them. But from what I’ve seen on this machine well worth the money considering the competition is about twice as much. Also some of Miller’s new stuff is way over priced IMO I use them everyday.
I’m very curious what you and everybody thinks about this, would you choose the Harbor Freight line of machines or Yeswelder line? Also note that there is no harbor freight where I live, closet one is 2,220 miles away…
Hey Merrick, in need rock sliders for my FJ80. I'll give you a couple of weeks to get it done. Thanks bro
So...what do you think? I'll come up there and give you a hand.
@@larrybriggs2920 I think he gave you the double NO.
Lol. I am busting ass to get my rig done.
Fantastic review! I felt like I was watching a fabracation cable show. What do you think about the titanium unlimited?
Thanks man! This was shot by my good friend @silver_elk. He actually shoots TV and documentaries! I haven’t been able to see the titanium, but my Vulcan is going strong with zero issues. And I run it all the time still!
Great review man. Wish i woulda known about that splatter shield. Can't tell you how many frustrating times I've spent grinding those little buggers off my finished piece.
I got a question a little off topic though. I'm contemplating putting an lq9 in my 83 K5 and was curious if you have ever done a miles per gallon check on yours?
lol no worries on the anti splatter. I just started using it too! Yea just did about 100 miles in the truck on the freeway yesterday. At about 75-80 I am getting between 12-14 MPG. Around town is 9-10
Merricks Garage that's awesome! I'm currently running a Vortec 350 with a carburetor intake but a fitech fuel injection system with a turbo 350 transmission with stock gearing and 33s and it's getting horrible mileage. Are you using the transmission that was originally mounted to that motor?
Yup 4l65e
@@MerricksGarage If you start using the Tig you won't need a splatter guard. You will love it.
The three year warranty is a joke. It's provided by a separate company and needs an approval before they honor the warranty. The feed motor went out on mine after 13 months. I had a major go around with the manager and finally got another welder plus my extended warranty money back. All in all it's been a good welder as I weld .120 wall Dom for rockcrawlers.
I've heradt that vulcan has a miller circuit board inside. If you open it up it said Miller right on it. I think miller is sueing Vulcan for using there own parts in there welders. I just bought one today.
*OUTSTANDING!!! Dang you’re good!!!* 👍🏻😁
The heat signs of penetration arer okay but don't look as good as they should. Also you welds look very prominent like they are on top and not really penetrating that great. They do look good enough but are really standing proud or tall. Turn up the heat and dope down I think. I'm also not a pro. But do have a good but of experience. I myself stick. My welds aren't spectacular but one thing for sure is they penetrate. Work stick one worry is that you'll burn thru. So there learning curve is higher. And production much slower. My 2 cents.
Great review, thanks
Good review
One thing. The welds looked a tad cold. How thick was the steel and what was the machine set at? Thanks man.
It more than likely was too cold. The plate on top of the truss is 3/8'!!
i noticed that also but i thought maybe it was just a fatty weld, crank the heat up or slow your wire down and let it flow in nice and flat
I thought the same... looks like you could turn heat up a lil more and then it would purrr like a kitten
Awesome video mate!
🤘🏻⚒
Now that you've had it a couple months, what's your opinion? Would have like to heard you discuss the accessories a little, gun, pedal etc.
would love to test the other stuff, but wasn't in my budget. Now if harbor freight would like to send them to me I would gladly test them.....
Now that I have used it and the initial issue I reported hasn't appeared in the new unit I am more than happy. Unit performs great. Really stoked.
Lol, 20 year product! Even the big 3 (Red, Blue, and Yellow) dont produce those anymore. Good news all the consumables and leads are standardized parts, and I think the gas solinoid is too.
I figured, but at less than a week old I didnt want to be replacing solenoids etc. I am referring to the legacy pre inverter style welders that just seem to keep going and going.
Thanks for the video, I have really been looking forward to it. Couple of questions - once you traded the unit out, were you able to use the solid core wire or did you just stick with the flux core? How much time did you get to spend using the gas before the failure?.
I recently spoke with a Harbor Freight employee and she stated that there is no designated customer support. As a matter of fact, some of the things she stated were disturbing to say the least. After speaking with her, I was able to speak with two others (one presently employeed and one prior employee) who did say pretty much the same thing. I think I am going to have to hold out for either the blue or yellow. Just have to save up more cash to do it.
I like the welder. The new one is now running C25 so just mig on it at this point.
I have only run solid core in my unit.
My answer is NO avoid supporting china as much as possible, I ordered an esab
I like your safety glasses?
These are cool but when It comes to bigger tools (ones beyond hand tools) buy once cry once the Lincoln model like this is like 400 bucks more and its light years better
How so? Specifically
Video was dark hard to see. ..but good job👊
well we shot it at night! ;)
It's part of the artistic process
Im Subscribed now bro great video and editing
I've been looking at these vulcan welders and I just don't know. I think I will stick with a tried and true everlast welder. They've been refining their welders for over a decade now and these have just come out on the market.
I agree but also feel that the parts are so interchangeable now and I have to believe this Vulcan line was developed over the past few years too. It is a good welder
Tried and true? Refining their welders for over a decade? You've got SHILL written all over you.
Everlast hasn't been refining anything. They submit criteria to a Chinese factory and Chinese engineers design and build the welder. If you have an actual problem, good luck, because the entire outfit is operated by a bunch of asshats.
Bought one of these. Broke it, returned it for cash. Pretty sure that I broke it. I was impressed by their return policy.
Great Review
great presentation,
So we can take it back and they give you the money back ??
There is a difference in spatter and splatter. To spatter means to scatter small particles of a substance. A spatter is the pattern of drops that result from spattering.
To splatter means to scatter large particles of a substance. A splatter is the pattern of drops that result from splattering. Are you a precise person? If so, you will want to know the difference between spatter and splatter. These two words look almost the same, but they differ in a couple of interesting ways. However thanks for the video..
Good video brother. What camera do you use and lighting if you dont mind me asking it is great quality.
Lol, this one was shot by my buddy who is a freelance videographer Nat Geo, discovery, Red Bull etc. he brought all his fancy stuff
@@MerricksGarage i can definitely tell it is A1 quality lol I wish I could get on that level!
Yea that was fun. I have been scheming with him how to take a trip together and have him do all the video. Would be epic! Imagine a trip to the sierras with footage like this! Epic
@@MerricksGarage definitely would be epic lol... I hope you get to make it and I hope to see it lol
Great video love the review!
Why you wanna talk to someone in the phone when you can just walk in to the store and get a brand new machine right away. For me that's the ultimate costumer service.
because many stores don't have them in stock and are not just around the corner from most people. But apart from that....
Thanks! I'm looking at getting into welding and don't want to buy a complete piece of crap.
under a thousand? Damn thing is 1300 now
That’s crazy. I paid like $749 with all the coupons etc
@@MerricksGarage still have it? Damn. Would love , LOVE To have one. Just so broke here lately can't swing it. I'm wanting to learn stick welding for thicker material. And the flux core I have is an old cheapy machine. 100 AMPS. Two toggle switches high/low. lol. And my dang spool always skips and you can hear that its on its way out. The wire skips a lot. I have taken it apart and lubed it and still It will run smooth one minute then the next it will skip and run faster then slower then...stop and go. so Yea, Its annoying to say the least.
Love the Colorado hat bro!
I love me some Colorado! Awesome state
20 year unit, what are you talking about. Lincoln, Miller, non of them are designed for that time frame in todays days computer age. So, go pay twice as much for a machine that are built to last basically the same time frame. As for experienced techs for only that welder, their tech people can’t know every item they sell, but a 3 year return and get a new one no questions asked warranty kind of makes up for that.
yea, I got that wrong. I have been using mine now for several years. Gets steady use of a couple hours at a time and has never hiccuped once!
Great review...😎 👍 👊
Excellent for the price.
Inverter technology...
This guy looks like a handyman bill Burr 😂 good video tho, good info
Is Bill Burr ridiculously good looking too?
Would you buy this Omnipro 220 over the Lincoln power pro 210 with a coupon bringing that price to $999 for the Lincoln ?
you know that is a good question. In all honesty I don't know. Time will tell. The truth is, are you willing to spend $200 more for the peace of mind with the Lincoln. I mean that is what they do and have done for over 100 years. Or does the $200 go towards gas and disposables so you can get a jump start? I was willing to take the risk, and the welder has been great so far. In short, I am happy with my purchase.
Ive heard those 210MP welders have had some serious issues. Which did ya buy?
Is it capable of 0.45 Dual shield ?
Can you manually adjust your wire feed and heat or are you stuck with the program?
yea, the preprogrammed settings are just that, starting points
for me its not worth it.
bought a tig ac/dc for $589.00 came with so much.
havnt fired it up yet, need my argon refilled.
Why not call Vulcan??
How did the new machine hold up?
no problems at all. Been perfect!
Hey how fast is ur wire speed mine is slow
depends on what I am welding
Thanks Bill Burr!
Lol is it the look or sound? Not the first to say that ha ha
@@MerricksGarage a little of both lol kinda like a younger version. Not a bad thing. Great video BTW.

Dude you have to do some Tig..
I absolutely agree. There is nothing better than Tig welding. You'll use it way more than the Mig.
