This is a great product to get the job done. Not to mention the gloves that are good quality. Review: Impressive little welder for small projects! - I'm very impressed. I am not a professional welder at all. Sloppy at that. Using this welder now for the 3rd time as a beginner. It does the job for small projects. And from what I've researched on YouTube. These welders do very well in the hands of an expert. My only complaint is the rods it came with. There's a lot of slag. A welder friend suggested that I use 6011 rods. So I'll try that next. ## Features - 【Portable MINI Welder Machine】This 4.4 lb mini welder goes anywhere your project takes you. Toss it in your trunk, stash it under the workbench, or carry it up a ladder without breaking a sweat. No dedicated cart needed, no garage space hogged. No more wrestling with heavy welding machines. Plus, the shoulder strap keeps both hands free—climb stairs or cross the yard with ease. Set it down and weld. Powerful, but tiny footprint. - 【2 IN 1 Multiprocess Welder】Press the knob and this portable welding machine does both stick and lift TIG. Stick handles your everyday steel repairs, while lift TIG delivers clean, precise welds on stainless steel. That's two welding processes without buying two separate machines. TIG torch sold separately—pick the one that fits your budget. Same compact box, twice the capability. More projects, less equipment. - 【Anti-Stick Arc Force Control with VRD Safety】Hot start (O-10 level) prevents stuck rods at startup on your stick welding machine; arc force (O-10 level) lets you tune soft or deep penetration. Flip VRD on in wet or high conditions to cut shock risk. Built-in over-voltage, over-current, and over-heating protection keep operation safe. IGBT inverter delivers a stable arc, deeper penetration, and less spatter -made for beginners and DlYers. - 【IGBT Inverter Technology for Stronger Welds】What makes this metal welding machine weld so well? IGBT inverter tech. Dial amps 20–135—thin sheet down to 0.06" or thicker steel up to 0.2". Delivers steady, concentrated power that keeps arc tight and controlled—low spatter, cleaner beads, less cleanup. Arc force digs in with concentrated heat for deeper penetration and smoother, consistent welds that hold up to real use—gates, trailer frames, repairs you want to last. - 【90%+ Rods, 1/16"–1/8" Diameter】 This 110V stick welder runs E6010, E6011, E6013, and E308 rods. Want to weld stainless? Just grab E308L-16—it gives you strong, corrosion-resistant joints on stainless steel. Out of the box, you get 20 free E6013 rods to start right away. Why E6013? Smooth arc, easy handling, and perfect for everyday household fixes. No hassle, no setup—just open, plug in, and lay your first bead in minutes. - 【What's in the Box】Everything you need to strike your first arc: ARC inverter welder, 6.6FT earth clamp, 6.6FT electrode holder, 20pcs E6013 rod, gloves, chip hammer, brush, and even a bottle opener. Yes, a bottle opener—because finishing a good weld deserves a cold one. Everything in one box. Open, gear up, and weld. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0H3N3HHR5 | | Best Sellers Rank | #866,548 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #304 in Welding Systems | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (59) | | Date First Available | June 2, 2026 | | Included Components | ARC-135PRO Stick Welder + 6.5FT Electorde Holder + 6.5FT Earth Clamp + 20PCS E6013 Welding Rod,, Welding Gloves + 2PCS Chip Hammers + Shoulder Strap + Bottle Opener + Instructions Manual | | Item Weight | 9.7 pounds | | Item model number | ARC-135PRO | | Manufacturer | GNI | | Material | Iron | | Package Dimensions | 12.56 x 9.09 x 7.48 inches | | Power Source | ac_dc | | Voltage | 110 volts | ## Images ![GNI Upgraded Portable MINI Welder, ARC/LIFT TIG 2 IN 1 Welding Machine 110V - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71h8hfaJ9TL.jpg) ![GNI Upgraded Portable MINI Welder, ARC/LIFT TIG 2 IN 1 Welding Machine 110V - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Eq9h5Iu+L.jpg) ![GNI Upgraded Portable MINI Welder, ARC/LIFT TIG 2 IN 1 Welding Machine 110V - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81noDtgEaYL.jpg) ![GNI Upgraded Portable MINI Welder, ARC/LIFT TIG 2 IN 1 Welding Machine 110V - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7114Ph4oH6L.jpg) ![GNI Upgraded Portable MINI Welder, ARC/LIFT TIG 2 IN 1 Welding Machine 110V - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81eSMOqcXEL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing portable welder *by M***S on January 10, 2026* I have used this welder for small jobs up to exhaust welds.
