    I have easy to follow and thorough step by step tutorials "do it yourself" (DIY) videos to help you with your broken lawn and garden equipment including snowblowers and zero turn mowers.
    I do my best to teach you how to easily diagnose problems the fastest, quickest and most efficient way with real repairs beyond just replacing a spark plug. These tips are for both the homeowner and shop owner.
    Whether it be a handheld, two stroke, two cycle engine like a chainsaw, weed eater, weed whacker, string trimmer, grass trimmer, line trimmer, hedge trimmer, strimmer, brush cutter, leaf blower, or four stroke, four cycle units like a lawnmower, wood splitter, lawn tractor, zero turn mower, snowblower, pressure washer, generator or a ride on mower that needs parts installed or replaced, I’m your go-to guy.
    My favorite brands of spark plugs are NGK and Champion and are the ones I recommend.
    I’ve been a small engine mechanic for many decades and also run my own repair shop so my videos are loaded with tips and tricks that I have learned and want to share with you. You will also find many tool and product reviews from top brands on my channel as well.
    I have the largest Small Engine Repair Video Library on TH-cam and the entire internet with over 1200 videos, just GOOGLE "DONYBOY73"!

    I'm retired now and live in the city, but in my younger days I used to do quite a bit of welding. My father and I had an electric welder, spot welder, acetylene torch, etc. in our autobody shop but I would have jumped on something like this if it was available at the time. This would have been excellent for small welding jobs in confined areas. Easy to set up and use plus I really like the trigger control. BTW I am a Canadian and I live in Alberta. I really like TEMU and I buy from them on a regular basis. Anytime that I had an issue I contacted them online and it was resolved right away. Thank you for the video!

    thanks Dony, The variability in your welds could be due to the rods. On the farm here we have a 250 AMP AC stick welder and 6013 rods are easier to use than 7018 which I recall is low-hydrogen and works better in a DC welder. But it does give you a stronger weld once you get used to it. I think the inverter is AC. John in Manitoba

    For reference, I dont do much stick welding anymore but a 6010 rod penetrates deeper and is better for dirty metal so you can turn the power down for that thinner sheet. 7018 is much more smooth and easier to use.

    i got so spoiled with MIG welding, I wouldn't have any desire for a stick welder any more...I got a relatively inexpensive ESAB welder that runs on 110 that does all I need around the house...sure a 220 would be better but that adds extra costs with outlets and accessories etc...this could be a handy little emergency tool for quick temporary repairs but everyday use would not be a good idea with this unit...thanks Don

    dNice video Don if Jake and i did not have the MIG and TIG welders in the shop at EP we would have likely ordered one. For the cost this for sure fits the small DIYer shop and if a homeowner needs a deck weld repair this unit is basically paid for itself instead of needing to take to a shop for welding.

    Thanks for your review. I’ve been very skeptical of Temu to this point but your review gives me more confidence. I feel I can trust you opinions as you always have good, practical advice. I have a couple inexpensive Harbor Freight wire feed welders now. I have never been really good at stick welding but I might try one of these out of curiosity if nothing else. Thanks again and thanks for your channel.

I gave it to bro after I got the wire feeds. Just don’t do any welding in a light t-shirt or you look like you’ve been in the sun too long 😂

    I am not a professional welder either but my coworker (25 years experience in welding) taught me how to weld and buy the appropriate tools, now I own 220v Lincoln stick welder for all-day heavy use and a 120v stick inverter welder for small welds that I carry in my work truck. I am in construction. I personally wouldn't trust that, not even for free.

    although it wasn't mentioned I'd think they were AC output and not DC as that would entail some hefty diodes.

    At first glance, it seems sort of gimmicky. But you showed its not too bad for DIY homeowner type use. Definitely not for serious structural use. I wouldn't be welding on the frame of my pick-up truck, but very easy to fix that broken wheelbarrow. I would like to hear your thoughts on welding overhead. I'm thinking it might be tiring with the weight of the inverter in your hands. Thanks for the video. Cheers!

      I personally don't trust the BBB. I had issues with a tax preparer years ago. The BBB decided that what the preparer offered me, free tax prep is good enough as a penalty instead of doing something constructive, like taking away their great rating.
      So, whether BBB approved or not, I wouldn't go with their opinion of anything. Just my opinion.

    The cleaner the surface the better the weld will always be. Plate thickness takes more power to create enough heat in that much metal. A thicker rod will take a bit more power. Smaller rod for thinner metal, less power.

    a good looking weld doesnt mean a good weld, At college i did what i thought was a really good weld literally on my 1st attempt, was perfectly straight, the slag pretty much peeled off as i went along, all leading me to believe it was a good weld, until my piece went through the nick break test and it failed lol. I was naturally gutted, but its a leaning process. It does look like it would be hard to control for really neat welds, but you would buy a proper welder for that, i can see a use for this tool, like in the middle of a field or something. Think i will wait till more reputable brand brings one out

    Hi Donny
    If I Could Make A Comment Please
    When You Are Trying To Weld A Joint, It's Better Instead Of Going Along The Joint, Move Your Rod Slightly Left To Right Across The Joint.
    I Noticed It Was Too Hot & You Was Going A Bit Too Fast. Left To Right A Bit Slower & You Will Get A Better Weld On The Job. Where As You Was Going Along The Joint & It Was Getting Too Hot & Blowing A Hole In The Metal. Best To Keep Most Of The Heat On The Metal Itself. I'm Not A Professional By Any Means, & I Do not Claim To Be A Professional, But I Have Done More Then My Share Of Welding

      I think he said 20%? Not too good if you do the math per hour. About 12 minutes usage per hour. I guess it’s fine if you’re going to use just a couple of rods for a quick repair or build. But definitely not industrial rated machine.
