I saw another video on this welder and the earthing wire was the wrong gauge (too thin) and would over heat. Also it is very particular as to the rods it will work with. In the end the conclusion was that it was ok for small occasional use but not for professional use. Great video. Keep up the good work.
That last test i did on the bench there i basically tried to just run it for a full stick and it didnt seem hot at all i was surprised! And thanks appreciate the comment
So would that be good for say frame work on a c3 corvette? The frame is good except there is a spot where the top door hinge bolts too that is very weak. Doesn’t look bad but if I open the door all the way up an push on it, you can see the frame flexing a little. The other door doesn’t do it. So I’m thinking I’m gonna have to strip the car down and fix that section. And I don’t have $20,000.00 to get the bird cage fixed. So I’m gonna have to teach myself to weld and get a lot of practice. Like you I can do it good enough to hold but not pretty. In this case I’ve gotta get it pretty cause well this is a classic car.
I would have said yes when i made this video, but after 2 more small jobs the Welder died on me just like the first one sadly. So i cannot recommend it anymore.
I appreciate this video. I bought a similar model of this type of arc welder. I had so many unanswered questions that I didn’t get around to actually using it. Thank you. Not sure if you aware that you dropped the technical information I was looking for.(operation on a 20 amp breaker plus extension cord) hope you continue to show us you experimenting with your welder. If so please let us know which welding rods work best with different gauge metal and which brand of welding rod works best for the welder. By the way my welder came with no instructions what so ever and no welding rods. Oddly I’m also welding on my Jeep. Thank you again.
Ive heard they can be kinda finnicky with what rods work so its probably just a test and find out kinda thing. But yeah it ran with no issues on the 20amp breaker 100%. I'll probably do more jeep videos, but with other tools. Maybe ill paint my whole jeep with a temu spray gun or something haha
link not workd, but if u search for "handheld welder" u will find it. (btw mine stopped working after 3-5 minutes of use, i returned, now waiting for replacement. will see if that working for longer)
You can purchase a Dc gasless mig for £100 Which is basically a Stick welding with the flux core inside the wire Which would be a true 130 /140A weder, and better for the thin Metal , The Mistake you made is running Back over the flux welding and you should weave the rod onto both the Angled metal on the Table , Nice video 😊
Sweet rig dude. Have you tried this thing yet? "TOOLIOM 3 in 1 Cut/TIG/MMA Welder 50A Air Plasma Cutter 200A TIG and 200A Stick Welder Portable Welding Machine Dual Voltage 110&220V". If it does all that for $300 I might have to get one.
@@UnboxAnalysisOfficial 130a (1/8 7018 rods) 30degrees dragging , dont weave much , wait for it to fill the gap , dont look at what is a tad darker ( molten slag) only the brightest of your puddle is the metal you are adding. Weld should look like this L\ not lUl and not lOl. No holes in the weld after defluxing, and finally , if there is slag between a weld and the base metal (in a case of l0l) buff it and start over ... its the most i can do just writing ... i wish i could add images. best is to look at ''principal welding defects'' on google image : all you will see is a dont ..... sadly there is no magic trick ... just melting rods over and over make someone better ... By the way . that was the best video of that welding machine.
Make sure you knock the slag off each time you stop and start on the weld. Prep the surface to bare metal as well will help

@ thank you for letting me know
I don’t believe you mentioned that you should disconnect your car battery before you weld. 🤔
😂 Its because i never have
Looks like a good cheap welder to practice on! Get some scrap steel and go nuts!
Agreed.. When it works at least ^^
Cool idea for testing out Temu stuff. Maybe even make extended videos for members only!
Thats a good idea john!
what makes you think the shield is cheaper ?
The actual eye cover piece from the first one i tested out was glass, this one was plastic.

I would use 2.5 welding Rod's for a Small welder 👍
Great, tried the link and...it's been discontinued.🙄
Thats weird, the link still works for me.. hmm

Its the paint gotta grind

Hm might have to check it out
why are you trying to weld / get a "good ground " on a painted metal ???
Looks like A yes to me.
3:36 words lol and kicking music. SPARKS, SPARKS, STAR🎉💥💥💥💥🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
remove the paint it should be metal to metal surface
Stick welding is sticky
More work video's b-roll 7 mins to 15. Would be a great fun video's for extra content . Might bring in more views.
ok
Your videos are amazing. I really like it. I am a new subscriber to your channel. Can I talk with you Unbox Analysis?
hey guys
My eyes bleed from your welds 😢
Thats fair 😂😂😂 Feel free to drop some advice. At least i warned you that my welds will be horrible. But they hold haha
