I haven't stick welded in 50 years, since HS, and I bought one of these & I was surprised that it worked as well as it did.

They all seem to weld pretty well with 6xxx electrodes. I have found they do not run great at all with 7xxx. Thanks for watching

Not sure if you have tried this 120v welder but I love mine!! GZ GUOZHI Stick Welder Small Mini Portable, 110V 130A ARC MMA Welding Machine with 10ft Electrode Holder Cable & 10ft Work Clamp, IGBT Inverter Welder

I have found them to all be the same equipment re branded.

The thing is you guys are professional welders, the machine is for occasional small cracks 😅😅

@@hugoenriquez5280 I am a professional welder and I am giving an honest review aimed toward the guy that doesn’t know any better.

I'm glad this one isn't being given away, I would probably win it😂

Haha I wouldn't give away something that works so poorly.

That's funny, I saw someone else do a review on that same pos and they said it worked great??? Can't remember who it was

After watching videos and hearing talk from lots of people about all kinds of these Chinese/knockoff welders, I think the only real variable in any of these welders is that there is no quality control coming out of the sweat shops. One might be great and one might be horrible just like the one I have. Also, it may be a matter of opinion, this “welder” does, can and will weld, just not reliably or consistently.

@@trailercourtsupervisor I just bought this welder, the J422 electrodes that came with it worked great. I bought some 3/32 6011 and it doesn't run like the others. I'm going to keep using it to see what happens.

@@jasongarcia1758 yeah it worked great even with the 6011 I have but it just would NOT run the 7018, it was probably more to do with being up at 100 amps than anything.

@@trailercourtsupervisor any tricks that may help me get the 6011 rods sparking? I changed the ground clamp to a beefier HFT clamp. You know, that good Chinese quality. Then used the skinny 1/16 AWS 6013 rods. I'm surprised at tensile strength of those cheap rods. I made an fitting to attach my gas auger bits, to my electric mortar mixer for some tunnel plumbing work I'm doing under my home foundation. I'd like to get the 6011 rods working, I have a stainless steel tank I'm making into a solar water heater. My mig welder spatters too much and burns too hot.

@@jasongarcia1758 you aren’t aiming to run 6011 on that stainless tank are you?

Does this plug in to a regular outlet???
