Stick Welder, 200A ARC Welding Machine with Large LED Display, Dual Voltage 110V IGBT Inverter Portable Welder w/Ground Clamp, Electrode Clamp, Hot Start, Arc Force, Anti-Stick

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I wanted a small welder to run off the back of an electric vehicle when out camping to do emergency repairs at festivals. This works great. I first bought one of the hand held flux core welders with the little feeder wire ends but it failed as the wire regularly gets caught and wont feed.. this makes it hard to control the speed of the weld the way you can with this stick style welder. Overall this has been a great little welder to have in the back of the truck and the repairs have already paid for itself.

Worked better than expected. Welded wheel bracket on Husquavarna mower deck. Used old eighth in. Rod i had and not ideal conditions. Welded great turned up to 180 . Welded great. Made sure i paid attention to duty cycle .gave plenty of machine cooling time. Absolutely great

Sets a really decent bead for 1/16th and 3/32 rods, but 1/8 seems to be a bit ambitious. for a welder that you can set up extremely quickly it is a great addition for small quick jobs.

Works great

Let me start out by saying I'm not a welder. I have a small mig welder and I have "successfully" welded a few things around the house but it wasn't pretty by any stretch.I got this little welder because of the previous reviews. Everyone said it worked great and was easy to use. They are correct. This little tool is very easy to use. Much easier for us newbies that have no idea what we're doing. I've welded a few different things for small projects I've done and it came out MUCH better with this tool than my mig welder. Still not a beautiful seam but much nicer, much cleaner and requiring for less grinding and clean-up. I recommend for anyone that doesn't use a welder regularly. You really can't go wrong at this price point.

I like this little stick welder and used the 3/32 welding rods to weld 1/8th inch sheet metal just to test it out. I got this so I do not have to roll out my mig welder for small jobs.

Don't waste your money on this item. I purchased it in February. Used it for the first time today April 29. It arked and it stopped. Deader than a doornail, and no refund due to over 30 days since purchase. It is garbage, I've been welding for years, I know what I'm doing. This item is junk before you receive it.

Have to bang the rod to make an arc then it just sticks to the material
