My son and I have never used a stick welder before so striking an arc was difficult for both of us. We got a little better at it by trying it periodically over several days, both at 120v and 240 volt. Finally had a friend who's a professional welder try it. He confirms that it works well and was able to use it easily, and he showed us some tricks that seem to work for us. We're getting the hang of it and are able to run some nice beads with good penetration into heavy metal (1/4" and 3/8"). It's fun to use and I think it will be effective. We've tried 6011 and 7018 rods, both 3/32" in diameter. So far I prefer the 7018 rods, both are available and fairly inexpensive at my local Harbor Freight.

Worth the money. It does as advertised and does it well. Perfect for the novice to learn on and is quite useful for backyard projects. Get a good helmet for eye protection and they offer one at a good price.

Does stick and Tig like a champ. I honestly have no idea how this can be this cheap and work so well. If you are new to tig remember you will need a bottle of argon, self dimming helmet, filler wire, and gloves. The welder is the cheap part. All the other stuff adds up

Great for small, home projects.

Very good welder. 👍🏼Not best tuning but cheap! And works well! I welded 3/8 with it and I was very impressed and surprised

Note: All examples were done using 220 volts.UPS brought this little guy to my house today. After unboxing, first thing I did was check the DC open voltage with a multimeter. Unit checked out 80 v. much better than stated voltage of 65v. I turned the amps all the way up and it read 138 amps. I hooked the unit up at little welding station I have down in the barn. I used electrode and grounding cables from another welder (these cables are heavier that what came with the unit). Time to weld. I first used Forney E7018AC 3/32. Amps set at 80. Struck an arc and keep it lit on first try. Welded like butter. Very impressed. Next I tried 6010 3/32 on DCEP (electrode on positive) 80 amps. Too cold. Gradually cranked it up to 100 amps before I could keep the arc lit and weld. I then reversed cable polarity. Arc popped and cracked and sounded almost scary. I turned the amps down to 60 amps and was able to weld but keeping the arc lit was a challenge. Lastly, I tried Forney E7018 1/8. I had to max out the amps before I could weld.Conclusion: Runs 7018AC 3/32 like a dream. Runs 6010 3/32 kind of sort of if ground clamp is on pos and electrode is on neg (DCPN). I can make it work but not a lot of fun. I did not try 6013 or 6011 but I think it should run those rods up to 1/8 without much problem. It will weld 7018 1/8 but that is max it can do. I am not disappointed with my purchase.Day 3 up date. I have been welding with 6011 and 6013 both 3/32 in and 1/8 in rods. This little guy runs those rods great. Runs 6013 so easy I think I could train my dog to weld with it. Great Buy !!!!!!

I’ve had this little welder for almost a year now. I keep it on my work truck for small welding jobs. Works great for tig welding. I upgraded the tig torch setup that comes with the machine( the tig one). I run a dry torch set up with it. But definitely a decent little machine.
