Let’s see if a $70 welder can outperform the more expensive rivals. It does indeed claim to deliver 200 amps of current, which is more than the $2,300 Lincoln welder. A big thanks to Joe for helping me test the welders for weld quality, penetration, current output and accuracy, ability to weld on rusty metal, and duty cycle.
I bought all of the welders and supplies use to test the welders to ensure the most unbiased review possible. So, thank you for helping support the channel!

@@James1095 is it a true RMS because most of the trms amp metes have “TRMS” printed on the meter and I don’t see it on this one?

@@teddysurf I looked up the model number and the feature comparison chart on Amazon shows TRMS for that model. Is that accurate though? Who knows. Even if it is TRMS it's worth checking the specs because even most of those have limits on frequency and waveform so it still may not read correctly on an inverter welder.

As a life long Miller welder user, the Titanium line is fantastic for the price. Their duty cycles are usually better than the more expensive Vulcan welders too. Been running the Titanium multi process off 240V for close to 4 years now with almost daily welding and it just runs and runs never hitting the duty cycle or losing arc integrity at all. HIGHLY recommend!

Thanks Joe!! As a welding engineer, this was an excellent video comparing cheap welders to each other. Another test I would recommend doing for the MIG video would be welding for at least 4hrs with the welder at the highest settings. Some of those cheap welders give up after 2hrs of use with high current because their electronics are not meant to sustain high current for more than a few minutes at a time. Please do not waste the money on tool truck welders. They are rebranded Lincoln or Miller welders, with less features and less knowledgeable people to help troubleshoot them.

As a community college welding instructor working i get asked all the time about what inexpensive welder i would recommend. I've generally suggested the Harbor Freight Titanium and Vulcan but it's nice to know that there are some even more inexpensive welders that are reasonable options. considering I own the lincoln 210mp it was nice to get a little bit of verification that my money wasn't completely misspent. :)

I also teach welding at a community College. I have a student who brought in a prime weld, it has CK accessories and I was rather impressed with how it welded for the price. If I had the money though, I would definitely buy the ESAB 205i, very impressed with that.

I just got a question, if I buy a welder and run it at 110 volt like from a normal garage outlet, a Welder will not melt the cables in the walls/trip the circuit breaker?

​@@Momoka7Not if the breaker is properly sized for gauge of wire. It will trip before it melts. 14 gauge wire needs a 15 amp breaker, 12 gauge wire a 20 amp breaker. You want bare minimum 20 amp circuit for a 110 welder. I got a titanium flux core welder that runs on 110 outlet and it works great
@nicholasmigliaccio9107
@nicholasmigliaccio9107 11 місяців тому
The breaker is there to prevent the wires from melting/killing someone. If the breaker matches or exceds the amps that said welder will pull then it wont trip it. Assuming it was wired properly the wires should be fine for the amp draw.

My first welder was buzz box. I learned everything I could. I then moved to 70 dollar klutch. Bought the tig leads for it. Practiced every single day after work running beads up down sideways every direction. I would buy coupons to practice on from this metal supply company. After about 6 months I moved to a 2k dollar Everlast that does everything ac/dc foot pedal multiple settings saves(pulse/fade in/out etc) And id spent the next 6 months only running aluminum). I love welding and I'm 100 percent self taught 😎 you can do anything you put your mind too.

@@ProjectFarm I second the TIG welding comparison, but also MIG welding. All the processes have differences and separate use cases and I'd love to see how different machines stack up. If you do another welder comparison, can you also include a higher end (like the Lincoln in this video) used welder? It's not uncommon to see used welders in the field and some people swear that older used welders (from reputable brands) can be just as good if not better than their newer, younger counterparts.
