For the price it's excellent, tig welded 1/4 with good penetration, stick welder is where it shined, wanna learn tig and stick well worth it
For the money it's hard to beat or believe actually, I've used some expensive machines and obviously this is not one, but for around the house kind of things you can not beat it for the money the stick and tig both work great,no argon regulator or hose included
First of all missing parts. No tips and the pin that holds the spool was missing. So I had to add 30 dollars to my price and I don't live next to any hardware store,so there's time and gas. The helmet(lol joke) The welder seems to work well. Settings seem surprisingly sensitive. only had a few minutes to play with. Make sure you have a helmet. So I have had a chance to use this thing and it works really well. Welded 1/4" tubing no problem, not even maxed out. Make sure the surface area is clean. For this machine it is critical. Love it
