Yeah it think it's the welder too

I have changed my mind i think its the welder

@@jamppa4693 I've been thinking about it for the last 32 years and it's definitely the welder.

@@justincarlton4807 yeah no doubt about it

I’m saying 😂 idk ab reliability but that bead was pretty decent

@@redmaster61 bead looks good, penetration is the real question

@@cameronberg3302 that's what she said.

I have $200 plasma cutter works great, cuts to a half inch easy. But I don't run a welding shop or rig so it works great.

@@2ndspingarage I think I have the same one. It's green? Make sure you have a very good water absorber that uses beads. Mine on a 120v 30a breaker can easily cut 1 " steel, great for gouging too

Its a sign 😂 check us out if you’re interested Applytoweld.com

It’s a sign, take it.

I’m already on it😭😭❗️

You click on one its over man, im in welding school now im not even joking lol

Never considered it, saw those "What do you think you're worth" vids and was like, "... I kinda wanna weld... I wanna weld..."

Exactly

True af

Thank you it needed to be said aside from all the other issues this thing has

🤣

I think the point here is that skill will always shine through, regardless of the tools you use.

EXACTLY!!!!! wonder how long the 80$ would run of you leaned on it. Trying to do more than a 3 inch "test" I'm betting not to long at all....the old saying you get what you Pau for. 99% of the time it holds true........atleast it has for me

I bet you know a lot more than the welding academy

The word you are looking for is called work load the more extensive the higher and longer you can run them

@@cadenfabbricino7039 Duty cycle my man. Duty cycle

Lincoln electric is better

Same 😂

💯

literally me lmfao

as long as it works its good lmao

Brooo i ALWAYS say that too lmao people ask me, “you can weld?!” And i say, “yeah but only the type of welding where if it sticks then ill call it a day”😂

I guess I’m abt to get one and learn also! Everyone starts in the same boat🤝

That's awesome, think I'll get one too for the same home fixes!!

I being trying to learn and it sounds perfect for the price. Where can you buy the fave protection?

I like the one I got it's very portable I can use it at the racetrack. My kids like it too under quarter scale RC car frames. It doesn't have a long run time.

I might get one just to learn with and mess around with some cheap metal to try and make my kayak into a DIY sailboat.

IMO they’re worth it with a bit of research and patience . i learned on a cheap one swapped the ground clamp and stinger. bumped the plug straight to 220 and now it’ll do most of my work. and when i tried a expensive welder it felt someone turned on easy mode.

@@dannydethanos6994 what kind of welder did you get??? I’m starting out and wanna get a practice welder too

@@DaRealG2Productions it’s a yeswelder brand 145 amp stick welder and then a Lenco af-25 electrode holder and king q t style ground clamp 300 amp best you can get for the money to me. I’ve had pro welders with big rigs ask me where to get them because they’re so compact. A note on any Amazon welder or tool abuse it in the first 30 days then you can see if it has any manufacturing issues and exchange it for free.

Yea but what's penetration like, probably garbage

@@jmpiedmonte I get good penetration you just have to know it’s amps are usually inaccurate.

you can grab the tungsten with one hand and the clamp with the other, and nothing will happen to you. open circuit voltage for stick/tig is usually 30v or less DC, it couldn't hurt you if it were a living thing consciously trying it's hardest. hf start might do something but usually far too low current, and the high frequency will have skin effect anyway, so even though it might burn you, it's unlikely it will kill you. obviously don't try it, but things don't just up and kill you like that. if it's metal enclosure is not properly connected to ground and a live wire on the high voltage side is touching it it would be dangerous, but the same applies to your washing machine and microwave. easy to check too, but you'd already know how to if you were that paranoid.

I have heard this class of products referred to as "IGBT Grenades" in welding forums.

Possibly but the 80 dollar one might have just been cleaned up

Imagine owning a miller

@@rook3364 imagine owning anything

@@cringlermiller5466 you'll own nothing and you'll like it!

I work for Toyota and we run miller’s or Lincoln’s 24/7 almost no problems. I’ve noticed the miller has a slight delay but the Lincoln’s have a kick to them

Not going to lie, I have that little yellow welder and I've run 1/8" 7018 for an hour straight without it kicking off. They're tough little machines. No bells and whistles, but they're capable.

Until it blows on you and you in debt

yes but the difference is likely the duty rate and ability to run gas to have stronger welds. one is meant for industrial use and the other is meant for diy projects

The 6000$ machine will run daylong workind every day years.. 80$ will run like 50-500 hours and than its baked. Its good for some welds but bot every day workind like welder

Oh no, welder TikTok has discovered you, they've been at this for over a year at this point. Which makes sense. Satisfying content does really well on short-form social Media like TikTok, Shorts or Reels. And welding does fall right in the middle of that class.

I got that same welder and I've welded up plenty of stuff it works fine. It's not like my Lincoln. My kids really like using the little $80 one for there 1/4 RC car 🚗 Frames.

Lmao, what world do you live in that you think the 80 dollar unit is a 1 time use and disposable. 1: meant for at home use, by the diy guy, used sparingly but if done properly and stored properly will last a few years. Not meant for very big projects. 2: meant to be used for hours on end every single day for a decade by professionals. Meant for heavier duty welds and for very large commercial projects. Comparing the two is like comparing a 50cc chinese scooter to a brand new honda goldwing. Yeah, you can take both to the corner store down the street. But you won't want the scooter for a cross country road trip.

Spot on

The biggest difference is duty cycle and longevity.

🤦🏼‍♂️they all use the same

Just the inverter box is 69$. Most are stick welders you can use a tig gun on, not included. The really cheap ones don't even come with leads or a power cord. You have to wire everything. Still worth the $70, but you get what you pay for as always.

We were while watching this... DO THE HUSTLE!!

thanks man

Practicality is variable in this field. That portability means nothing if you weld in one location all day. Or if you have a shop and run a full cart. And the duty cycle of the larger welder means nothing if all you need is to tack a fence post back together. Different tools Different uses. Same reason my $5 harbor freight 1/4 ratchet is "just as good" as my expensive half inch matco ratchet. I use them for different purposes and they do their respective jobs very well.

You should look up CNC welder

Alibaba... $15k USD

It’s not that serious

Definitely worth it I did my entire 9month class using this. Same machine at home to learn and. It was only $63 on Amazon

@@wantsLDA nice I'll look into it

I don't think anyone wana know 🤔

👌

Yes! You know.

Scratch start is usually for pipe.

*9 years pipe welder* we love lift arc..that being said scratch start isn’t terrible either just have to terminate on the rod if not you’ll arc mark all over and QC no likey

dislike and do not recommend channel

Its actually 95

I have one. I've run 1/8" 7018 for an hour straight without it kicking off. Whatever the duty cycle is, I haven't reached it.

For real. You can make some tickets, but let's see you weld together two rusted out pieces on a herzig during a 10 day power plant shutdown

It’s ok that you like boys. God told me to tell you that. Amen 🙏

@@mybuttitches9935 wow 6 month old account no followers but a desperate need to be heard, bless you child....

@@AlwaysBeSmart674 Im a grown man if I wanna pee my pants then that’s what I’m gonna do!

I think you will see the biggest difference in penetration.

@@happytrails5342 absolutely, you’re probably right but hell, I’ve never used the $80 one so I can’t really bust balls.

amen to that

It's not the machine that makes they weld look prefect. It's the welder that makes any machine weld like a $6000 welder. I myself would make that $6000 welder look like crap. Because I'm an ok welder.. lol.

Relax Rambo its for small jobs. We get it your a pro you weld bridges that save lives.

In all seriousness, the ancient manual jump lead welding transformers are really cool

Same i am trying to find it.

What’s he’s doing is walking the cup pretty hard stainless steel (tig welding)

amen to that
