This is a wonderful little welder! First off this isn't a true mig welder as it's advertised. It's flux core welding (FCAW). But don't let that deter you from buying this welder cause it will do the same job as a mig welder will do just a little bit messier! And by that I mean this thing puts off a lot of spatter and a lot of smoke so make sure you have plenty of ventilation. Don't expect to weld really thick metals with this I mean come on it's only 130 amps! But you can weld metals as thick as a truck frame up to I'd say 1/4 inch thick metal. This welder comes with everything you need to weld with right out of the box. With that said trash the welding face mask it comes with cause it's complete garbage. I found a good use for it makes a great fly swatter! Lol. Before you weld with it make sure you go buy the welding tip goo so you can coat the tip and your tip will last 100 times longer! So far I myself have made a table for my wife. I've welded up my mower deck. I've patched holes in my truck floor. I've also welded up a roll cage in my race car! This welder has so many uses! I paid $97 dollars for this welder but you can get it a couple dollars cheaper if you look hard enough. Y'all go buy this welder it's defiantly worth the price and the opportunitys to use this are endless!!Read full review

I repaired a snowblower auger using this little welder and it worked better than expected. I went through a 1lb spool of. 030 wire and the only glitch was that the wire had a couple of imperfections that made it get stuck in the torch but that was no fault of the welder. Based on the reviews I have seen, I didn't even bother with the wire that came with it, just picked up a spool of Lincoln wire and didn't regret it. I was welding 1/8" steel using setting low-2 and wire speed set at 4.5 and got very nice welds with good penetration. Had it plugged into a 15 Amp receptacle and never tripped the breaker. My welds were 3-4 seconds each with one second between welds.

First off the mass that comes with the welder is just a fan piece of plastic I put it straight in the garbage and ordered me a real welder's mask helmet second of all the ground clamp that comes with the welder is also pretty much junk I went and bought a sturdy heavy duty welder ground clamp for the welder and also I went and got some compound for the tip of the welder to keep from burning it up so quick I would recommend you do the same if you buy this wire welder. Also the wire that comes with the welder is very seeing I'm not very sure what size you can use with the welder because I haven't tested yet although it looks very sturdy and well-built I haven't had time to use it yet I will say that the shipping speed was very fast the cost was very reasonable and the product looks like it will do the job I will update this review after I have tested it out and let you guys know how it wentRead full review

Bought it for my small engine shop to start learning to weld. Does a great job with very little practice or effort. Able to run a variety of wire. No 5th star due to the lousy ground clamp (buy an upgraded or magnetic one 20$ tops) also appears to come with a full spool of wire to practice with but its only 1/3rd pound or less. Make sure you order a spool.

When I first purchased this welder I thought it would be junk but when I opened the box and saw the actual product I really got excited to use it for the first time... the description is deceitful as it says it's for beginners when it should say something alone the lines of being used by those who cant really spend the $500 to $800 for an industrial Mig I think it's perfect for the homeowner who needs an occasional weld job done and would rather do it themselves than to pay a welder to do it... I love my new mig and im going to be putting it to great use around the home front! Thanks guys great product and perfect price!
