I love watching someone super-high skilled working with "low-tier" tools, it's so satisfying

[Greyskydies]

The welder guy with 40K hours welding was super chill and knowledgeable. You chose a cool guy that was genuinely impressed!

[traviserlston]

Been a commercial industrial electrician for 24yrs, always wanted to learn to weld, seen this video a month or two ago and picked up this welder first week of February for my birthday . Having a total blast ! Pulling scrap steel off the jobsite all week, and spending the weekends drinking coffee and welding in the morning . Thanks !

[bryansmith]

I love that he didn’t pass judgement on the welder before he tried it. I don’t care for people who are just keeping up appearances. He uses high end welders and buys for durability, but is still willing to evaluate the cheap stuff for us amateurs. It was really a pleasure to watch a true professional lay a bead.

[FractalRelic]

it's pretty cool that something like this actually works relatively well and gets an endorsement from someone with that much experience. For people that want to try to get into welding at the home gamer level it seems like it would be worth looking at.

[ionstorm]

I have one too and the worst issue is you have to strap it down because the leads will drag it around lol.

I bought one, I was fabricating the support structure for a 20' x 30' solar array, 3" x 3" square tubing 3/16 wall. I have a Miller Thunderbolt AC machine, what a fight to weld out of position. Bought the little welder and it was a totally different experience, all position, it didn't care or fight me with what I was trying to do, it just welded and did everything I ask. It's the best $70 bucks I have ever spent on a tool. It would be a great machine for someone to learn on. To see it gets the Vince Stamp of Approval is all the better, Great Review !!!!

The coil would probably be cooler with the cover on as that would direct the fan air more across the heat sinks and coil.

[MikhelBL]

The guy doing the welding... what a cool and nice guy, far and away it is obvious he is great at his job and what I liked about the video is that he didn't treat the little machine as a potential piece of garbage, from the start he treated it as if it was is more expensive machine, that shows you he knows how to treat tools. Awesome guy and awesome little machine.

And as he said, if you know how to weld and need to make a buck with not a lot to invest, it would be an appropiate way to start and build up from that.

Saludos.

It's awesome to see a pro who isn't dismissive/snobby about equipment/brand, and gives the equipment a fair shake before pronouncing a rating.

...That's generally a sign that someone is *actually* competent and experienced at their trade.

[wrenchforahammer]

I have been welding for 32 years. I have been constantly surprised by the capabilities of these new tiny machines

[hydewhyte]

Be interesting to see how it would run on something like a Bluetti power station. BTW, the case cover has to be on for the fan to draw air over the components and cool them properly, so it would probably run even cooler closed up.

[chocolingo]

One of the best reviews I’ve seen lately. Love the fact that a true professional gave this an honest trial and feedback. 💯 appreciated

[robertsheridan]

Very refreshing to watch a true no BS assessment by a professional on such a small and lightweight, cheap Welder. Great Works.

[Boydmt]

Being a retired military computer geek with just shy of 40 years experience, I am very impressed with the technical skills of the welder using the cheap device. Thank you for doing this video!!

[dshall]

I got the 195 version of this for stick welding class, impressed the hell out of the instructor. He was pretty speechless and told everyone to go buy one. Paid $118 delivered 18 months ago for it.

[GTL]

As a welder I’m impressed by how well that little welder worked! I might have to pick on up just so I can do some tig welding!

[williamlott]

I purchased a couple of small inverter welders in 2019 for a mission trip to Cuba. I tested one before the trip and was impressed by its performance. The two Cubans I gave the welders to were ecstatic to receive the machines and they immediately began making good use of them. This little machine is even smaller than the ones I gave away and less expensive. I’ll probably buy two or three for our next mission trip. BTW, I recall a high pressure pipe welder in the Navy mentioning that the one skill he had to master for high pressure (1200 psi) steam piping was grinding. Thanks for the video.

My 14 year old son got excited about welding after a field trip to a tech school. Got him one of these to play with and stick stuff together, he’s been loving it. When we started telling him about the money he could make doing it as a career it really put a new spin on it for him.

[benjamindover]

Here in Poland, I bought a welder just like that for 149 pln ($37.50) for emergencies off road. I was also very surprised at how well it welded and how long I've been using it. 10/10 because it still works great.
