HITBOX 200A Portable Stick ARC Welder, 240V Mini Inverter

This is a truly amazing little welder. Of course it is not a top name high output stick welder BUT..... 1 ... it works perfectly 2 ... it has fairly accurate control of the power and options 3 ... the quality of the earthing and stick cables are fairly good So, to get the downside out of the way, the mask is a complete joke. I immediately went to buy one from my local toll shop as the one provided was worse than useless. This IS an important piece of safety equipment and it would have been better to simply not supply it. The slag hammer and wire brush is a bit micky mouse but it works and for the price point it is fine. I bought this welder as I had an urgent requirement to weld up a frame of really thin and horrid mild steel that had fallen apart and was need to be put back into commission the next day. I have a large MIG welder form a well known manufacturer but did not have time to go over to get it. I felt that a simple arc welder would do the simple job but did not want to spend serious money. I expected this would do the job with a bit of fiddling an had a clamp meter to help me make sure I was using the right current and the output was stable. It came with a few sticks which I did test one of and it was fine. I bought some E6013 2.5 sticks to use to weld the horribly thin steel frame. I was also welding outside in virtually zero degrees centigrade so the steel was very cold. Without any practice, I went straight to doing the job and it worked straight away. The current was stable and within a few percent of the expected output. In short I am SO pleased with this little welder and will have it in our fabrication boxes for building and repairing event sets on site. As a note to teh manufacturer. Slightly longer earther and positive cables would be good. The loss of power for 2-3 feet extra would be a good compromise. A case rather than a strap, would be great. If you are going to sell this as a kit then add a mask that is fit for purpose. We threw this out without even trying it. For our project we bought: A cheap and simple SIP welding helmet with an auto darkening faciity - £25 A low end DeWalt cable angle grinder - £39 on offer at half price Norton 115mm Grinding Disks IMPAX 2.5mm E6013 welding sticks - 5KG Some SIP Magnet holders Some welding gloves We also popped into our project box for quick stick welding: An extra heavier wire brush A few clamps An old pair of pointed nose pliers - to keep the core exposed so we could strike an arc first time every time So for less than £200 we have a small flight case with everything we need to confidently make repairs on stage. Of course we have other focussed boxes of tooling to supplement this. If you are concerned about the price of this, some of the negative comments or whether something that is only 4 kilos could be up to the job then dont be. It works so well. The only thing I have marked this down on is the "use for beginners". That is down to typically poor documentation and the rubbish mask.

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

This came and the plug indented the lcd screen. This didn't bother me at all because I will be using this heavily and I can still see the screen. Me and my son have been using this for the past few days and it's excellent. I never welded before so I'm no pro but I'm over the moon with it. I was even able to weld high carbon rebar, for structural support for my grape vines the holo shop boutique one has rooted away. I will be back for a tig on once my work shop is finshed.

Generally awesome BUT... - the screen is absolutely unreadable outdoors - literally you cannot see anything. - the protective mask included is rubbish - but it does include black glass - the wires as well as electrode holder are rather good actually - included electrodes are nice extra to get you started without buying anything else really. - The only thing that is a bit of a mishap on my behalf is power delivery... This should really be plugged into a 20A socket - in the UK you get 3A, 16A or 32A for showers and hobs... Generally speaking I've tried it at 100A (50% of advertised power) plugged into a 16A socket over an extension cord that says 12A max... it worked flawlessly and didn't trip the electrics - but I doubt I could do 5mm electrode with 200A continued without some issues... But works for me.

This is a little Gem. Been happily welding 2.5mm wall box sections, and thin plate with it. Its got some lovely little menu features that make using it a simple joy for this newbie. Amazed by the size, power and versatility of this unit. The electrode holder grips firmly and the ground clamp is plenty strong enough.

I have been incredibly impressed by this little machine. I bought it for a light weight welder to keep in my van, rather than my current Murex transarc tradesman 130, which weighs about 30kg, and I have back issues now. This machine is impressive! Very smooth start and consistent power. I've used it for almost 2 hours of constant welding without fault. Some points to consider: *The supplier screen is a toy! Usable in an absolute emergency but buy an automatic one, it will last and Save your eyes! *The supplied leads are basic and short. Luckily for me, the leads from my Murex Transarc tradesman fitted without adaptation! (9.5mm bayonet type). Final thoughts: +Awesome value for money +Consistent power for smooth welding +Ultra light weight! The leads probably weigh more than the machine. - due to its weight, I'm concerned about it's durability on a job site, but when I use it at the moment, I can literally hang it on a hook by the strap! This is one of my favourite purchases OF ALL TIME!!!! I just need to invest in the TIG attachments next! (I will update this review if anything goes wrong, but I'm optimistic).

Basic review surprised 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.

Impecc ... able to do whatever I want with this excellent tool.

I liked, good and strong!

📝 DESCRIPCIÓN Soldador inverter compacto con pantalla digital, modos MMA y LIFT TIG, ligero y fácil de transportar. * Modelo similar en Amazon más económica y con mejor soldadora: https://amzn.to/459MqC6 🧾 ESPECIFICACIONES • Modos: MMA y LIFT TIG 🔧 • Dimensiones: 225 x 180 x 185 mm 📏 • Peso: 2,1 kg 🎒 • Compatible con electrodos 1,0–2,5 mm 📦 CONTENIDO • Soldador inverter ARC200D • Pinza de masa • Portaelectrodo • Correa de transporte • Manual de usuario 💶 PRECIO • 11 de agosto de 2025: 54,97 € 🟢 PROS • Diseño pequeño y ligero 🎒 • Pantalla digital clara 🔍 • Incluye correa de transporte 👌 • Trae pinza y portaelectrodo listos para usar 🔌 • Protección contra sobrecalentamiento ⚡ 🔴 CONTRAS • No permite cordones largos y continuos • Se queda justo con electrodos grandes 8️⃣ VALORACIÓN Me decidí por esta máquina porque buscaba un soldador pequeño y manejable para trabajos caseros. El tamaño es lo mejor que tiene: apenas ocupa espacio y con la correa se transporta fácil. También viene lista para usar con pinza, portaelectrodo y manual. La pantalla digital está bien resuelta y es sencillo ajustar la intensidad, además de que incluye sistemas de protección que dan tranquilidad al trabajar. Para alguien que busca algo simple de mover y guardar, cumple. Lo malo llega cuando intentas hacer cordones largos. No mantiene la estabilidad y el arco se corta, obligándote a repasar varias veces. Para algo más serio, no da el resultado que esperaba y me dejó bastante insatisfecho en ese punto. Eso sí, para soldaduras cortas o pequeños arreglos aún va tirando. Si lo quieres para bricolaje ligero o reparaciones rápidas, puede servir. Pero si lo que buscas es continuidad en cordones más largos, se queda corto. ✅ CONCLUSIÓN Un equipo compacto y fácil de transportar, que puede sacar de un apuro en trabajos pequeños. Para cordones largos no es estable, por lo que depende del uso que quieras darle. 👍 RECOMENDABLE SOLO PARA TRABAJOS PEQUEÑOS. ✳️ Espero que mi comentario ✍️ te haya podido servir de ayuda 😃
