HITBOX 240V Mini ARC Stick Welder, IGBT Inverter Arc Welding Machine with LED Digital Display, Hot Start & ARC Force, Portable Stick Arc Welder for Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel (ARC200S)

Good quality

Basic reviewsurprised how small this is for 200amp.for light duty welding general workshop use.yet to test hence basic review.but have a mig from hitbiox so no reason to think it won't perform the same and do a good job.

Amazing little machine! What a difference compared to the old heavy arc welder. This is nice and smooth and so much easier to produce good welds.

Superb item works great good quality and appearance excellent value for money,very light due to size

This compact welding machine arrived in a sturdy cardboard box. As well as the welder the case also contains a chipping hammer/wire brush, 5 welding rods and instructions for use.There is no safety equipment supplied (e.g. gloves, welding mask etc.) so you will have to source your own as this equipment is vital when welding. As well as basic arc welding the machine is capable of Lift TIG welding but the torch to do this must be purchased separately.It’s small enough to be easily portable. The 3pin UK plug lead is 120cm long and the earth and electrode leads are both 150cm.The display is clear enough to be seen without raising my auto darkening helmet and it’s easy to see which mode you’re in and what amperage you’re using. A very useful feature for beginners (like me) is that as the amperage is changed there is also a metal thickness indicator that changes with it making it easy to set the correct power for the job in hand (see video).The main power switch on the back switches the machine on. The fan keeps running for a while after the machine is switched off to cool it down.I’ve done a little bit of arc welding in the past but I’m really a novice and so far I’ve only used this to do some small repairs on metal gates and a couple of spot welds. I found the machine simple and easy to use and the results were good.I’m sure a professional welder would regard this machine as not much more than a toy but for small DIY tasks and spot welds it does a very good job.This is a very good machine for DIY welding but at £99.99 it’s more expensive than a lot of ‘mini’ welders available on Amazon and some of these are provided with more equipment so because of this it loses a star.

I've never welded in my life.A quick read through the instructions, a little watch of YouTube, 15 minutes of messing around on some scrap steel and I had something that resembled a weld.I think, with some practice I'll be able to do some welds I can trust.

Brilliant tool kit for what I needed

Very good out of the box a couple of menu selections to make and your welding. If you can measure the thickness of your job and read what's written on your rods. Your glueing stuff together.

Très satisfait de mon achat, il soude très bien, il est compact et léger. Envoie rapide comme d'habitude et tarif correct.

Daha iyi olabilirdi.

El aspecto es estupendo, y la primera experiencia de uso ha sido perfecta.

Per il momento do le mie 5 stelle ma l'ho solo provata per vedere se funzionava e ho fatto qualche punto di saldatura per prova e sembra andare bene, molto piccola e maneggevole peccato un po' per la lunghezza dei cavi a mio parere un po' corti, spero vada bene nel tempo, ovviamente io la userò poco per piccoli lavoretti fai da te
