Another awesome video! I just bought the Titanium Flux 125. So much better than the old Chicago 125. Before the Titanium I purchased the Simder Mig 140. I got it for $62 delivered, but I just could not get it to weld for me. I'm new at welding, so I can't put all the fault on the Simder. I have had far better luck with the Titanium Flux 125, which isn't saying all that much since I don't know what the hell I'm doing. At 69 I don't think as fast as I did before. Lol. Thank you for your videos, they are well organized and very helpful!

Well, my Dad died, so I lost access to a welder. Thank You for doing this video as now I know that this is the machine for me. I don't weld often, but I do need a machine. I used to weld when I was stock car racing, but then again I also learned to do rear ends and transmissions. You learn a lot if you are racing. Thanks again Tim, you have been a great help.

love it, you named “go kart frame” that’s EXACTLY what i’m here for. appreciate it

I've been reading up on the reviews for this welder for a few months now, but to see it in action is what had convinced me that this is a decent welding machine. It definitely looks to be of a better quality than the HD $89.00 black box, which I was somewhat impressed with.

I just picked up one of these titanium flux 125 welders, and I love it already! I have a AC/DC tig and stick welder already, but I wanted something smaller to tote around, and easier to tack with. It's a little beast! Puts down some serious welds.

I love the way you demonstrate using your safety equipment. Many welding videos are demonstrated with only a shield with no sleaves and sometimes wearing shorts of all things. Good weld and good professional video.

I was impressed with how much these model is a work horse, I tried welding 1/4" wall of steel tubinng and it came out really good compared to the older black flux core.

I bought one of these a year ago for the portability. I have welded up to 1/4” with no problems. Hi Only issue I ran into was they cheaped out on the ground clamp this is a common thing done by most manufacturers.

I got one of these, I'm not to proud to go to harbour freight, had it for about 4 years still works like day one ive ran about 8 spools of wire for it i would recommend getting a better grade of fluxcore wire, and remember to keep a bit of distance or you will boil the flux out before its time and life is good

Great video man not just on the welder review but the info at the end your tips! You can tell you’re very knowledgeable in welding !

[raymeeluna]

Great video. Thank you, exactly what I was looking for. Wanted that for well over a year and today of all days I'm committed to getting it!

I have the Chicago Electric gasless flux core welder and I haven't had a hard time with it at all. After dialing in the settings (translation: flipping one switch up or down and turning wire speed dial to 5.5) and practicing beads before welding the workpiece, it's been a champ! I use Cooter snot tip gel for the tip and to coat surface to mitigate bead stick.. edit. Forgot to mention, the Lincoln Electric gasless nozzle tip Lowe's sells, fits the Chicago Electric. Just make sure it's the one with threads..

@4:34 when you're so dedicated with looking straight into the camera lens you forget to blink.

I got this with a helmet a year ago for auto exhaust work. Never welded anything before. Gonna give it a try today. Have a small crack opening on the exhaust pipe on my 99 Toyota rav4 and same on my 95 Honda odyssey.

[njseashorechas]

I bought and used my for rear jeep shock mounts. it worked like a champ and more than paid for its self!

[jeffwells]

Ive had one for 2 years. Never hit the duty cycle. Been building rocket stoves with 5/16 and it does the job with a little bevel of course. Def recommend for light duty welding

[jack_U]

Great machine for the money. I had formerly bought a chicago electric ac flux welder and it was such crap, I sold it on craigslist for twenty bucks and said good riddance when it left. This titanium 125 has worked so much better.

I just picked one of these up while on sale, even though I have a pile of other machines on 240vac. Why? Because it was $130, it runs on 120vac, and honestly seems perfect for the little jobs where I don't want to unroll 100' of 4awg extension cord! I trust your review to be accurate on this, so I bought it without hesitation.

I picked one up today, was on a black friday sale for $149.99, but no stock. Saw a couple of returns for $100, plus they let me use a %25 off coupon, $75 out the door, SCORE!. I tried it at home and welds great!. I upgraded from a basic $99 dollar black beginner harborfreight welder and its a big difference. Much better and more consistent welds.
