I have the mig/stick 220 and scratch tig/stick versions of this machine, both are 110/220-120/240 and they will run amazing on 240 but will require skill on 110 to get a proper bead. .035 flux on 120 seems to be a bit hesitant but they come with a 60% duty cycle in 220/40 which is amazing for such a cheap welding machine. They're light, easy to setup and most people turn their noses at them so less likely to be stolen. I've never had peelers with such color when it comes to stick. They will run 1/8 rod just fine for hours. I can't express how impressed I am by such a cheap tool and now I have two in my garage with bottles of 80/20 AR/Co2 and AR/HE.
That’s great to hear that and I agree with what there making now and the price is great for starting out . And so small right wow I started welding in 1974 and for many years it was big welding machines but 25 years ago started getting smaller. I have a miller SPL 160 does both Tig &stick very nice but 1800$ industrial machine. Ya I think 6011 would work better on 110 I haven’t tried it but 6010 doesn’t work very well . Anyway thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!
I thought about buying one of these i see on Amazon with a lift tig,it appears to be 110 only for like 99$ it looks like it would be a decent companion to a little auto arc 185( miller with cheaper parts if researched correctly) in back seat of truck for tiny jobs or a quick cobble and putting a small amount of tig capabilities to my arsenal, i primarily run 6011 and 7018 on farm and sawmill equipment but I feel like it may be a good little back up ,get out of a pinch ,or get somewhere you cant drag your leads. Still not convinced i should buy this or change oil in truck lol. Thanks for the information on these units.
Hi there thanks for sharing your story, Hard to make a decision on all this new welders I grew up in the early 70s learning how to weld ok in those days all machines were big and heavy, I’m glad they have smaller welders now very compact and affordable. The Tooliom 135 amp has 110 or 220 100$ works great I have a miller 160 - 1700$ but way better quality welder like you said. Hope you have a great day!
@LetsHikeRhodeIsland Ya for auto body repair I would say Lincoln mig wire ok not flux core . Lincoln 135 amp or 175 look around for a used one but I think you are in USA right? There cheaper there If you’re looking and find one feel free to check with me glad to help you out. I’m a professional welder semi retired lol 40 years experience pipe pressure welder
Thank I subscribed to yours too! I want to learn how to weld for small projects with a car I just bought. Glad I found your channel. Very informative and I appreciate your help
@@kdweld8234 thank you. It just arrived today. I had ordered 6013 3/32 cause I didn’t know the difference but I’ll pick up some 6011.. I see some cool welding practice kits online too, may pick one up
@@kdweld8234 the machine you have is dual voltage, but there is no longer a dual voltage available on Amazon, it’s the same model number my friend, but no longer dual voltage
@carlosfley3768 Yes you’re right no longer in that model I have a Tooliom 200 amp dual voltage with a foot pedal that I have I’ll do a video on that one soon it was 350$
It’s a 15 amp breaker The mini welder has 110 and a 230 volt ok You can’t weld 1/8 for a long time it will trip the breaker. You can use 3/32 rod with 110v for small jobs ok hope this helps you thanks for sharing
@@kdweld8234 The manual that comes with the Tooliom welder says with 6010 rods DCEN should be used not DCEP I use DCEN for all 6010 rods with 3 different Tooliom welders that I have and use daily with no problem.
@@CentralIowaAudits Yes the manual says that because it’s a cheaper machine but for the price it’s great, Normally 6010 is always used at DC Reverse pro laity down hand pipe you name it it does it You can use it like you say with your Tooliom welders Sure it works better on Straight with those machines I agree

Oh, I do structural and repair welding. I wouldn't doubt these will do the job with the proper power supply.

Beautiful strike sir! 54$ bf sale.

tbh i would buy one of these to learn welding before investing in the bigger welding machines or before going to a welding school
Yes the best way start cheap
Would you reccomend this for a newbie? Im talking about weld some quarter panels in your drive way on a saturday afternoon newbie
You’re talking about welding truck auto correct
Stick welding is not for auto body work You need a Mig welder ok
@kdweld8234 Yeah. Some auto stuff. Thank you KD. Do you have any recommendations for a cheap Mig?

It should 110 plug no problem with 6011

@MrStew3369 Right on enjoy your huge Welder 👍🇺🇸
@MrStew3369 I would get some 7018 3/32 way stronger and less sparks ok it’s a great rod
@@kdweld8234 thanks for the info
It sucks that now they only sell the 110V version, no more dual voltage
Hey there this machine is dual voltage ok 110 230 I thought I mentioned that
I bought on amazon same machine is still there

Inverter machines don't do 6010 well. Use 6011
