ARC Welder 165A Inverter MMA Welder Machine 110/220V IGBT Digital Display Hot Start Portable Stick Welding Machine with Electrode Holder, Earth Clamp and Cable Adapter

Exceeded my expectations! I am a professional welder by trade and being accustomed to using large name brand welding apparatus I wasn't expecting much out of a $110 never heard of em before welder. This little box runs great! Easy to set up, easy to strike up an arc, welds smooth and consistent. I ran 3/32- 6013 rod at 65 amps, on 1/8 sq tube. 110v plug in my garage with 15amp breaker... And she cooked no problem. I am going to use it as a carry along field welder for small repair jobs but I would totally recommend this for a beginner or as an addition to any welders garage.

Work's well to do most stick welding jobs. Good with 3/32 on 110 and good with 1/8 on 220.

This little beast works great. If you're a hobbyist or want to learn to stick weld, you can't do better. I got this on sale for $99 (reg $120) and couldn't be happier. Plug into any outlet (make sure you've got the right amp breaker) and start working immediately. I'm a terrible welder but I've managed to stick dozens of things together in only a couple weeks with this little dynamo. Most of my welding is personal and for friends so I mostly used 6013 1/8 rod and 120 or lower amps. I didn't have a proper welding table so I made one from rebar using this little box and it works really well (first picture) and I've used it to make a few decorative swords and axes for friends for Christmas presents (second picture). I've been using it in my small workshop (shed) and fumes haven't been an issue as long as I keep the doors open and a small fan moving the air. Spatter has been a minor concern due to wood construction of my shed but nothing has burned so far. Definitely keep a fire extinguisher or a bucket of water nearby just in case.

It works like a champ despite its size. Recomended

I had high hopes for this welder. But I should've known from bitter experience than to have hope for anything. Bought this welder and after about 2 months, naturally after the return window closed, it stopped working. It just shut off after trying to strike an arc and wouldnt turn back on. I looked on the product page here on Amazon for warranty information, which directed me to look on the company's website. So I did that and was encouraged to see that Stahlwerk offers 5-7 year warranties on its products! So I contacted the company and...... No response. I thoroughly read the warranty fine print on the website and even if they did respond and said that they would gladly fix it for me, I would have to pay to ship it to Germany and then pay to ship it back. I dont want to send the welder on a dream vacation around the world and back just to fix an issue that I shouldnt be having in the first place. When your talking about a welder that was only $90, itd likely be close to that cost for shipping to there and back. Not to mention I'd likely need to also buy a couple calendars to measure the time itd take to get it back. So, to summarize..... I am not amused.
