Interesting item. The call line is a very long wait, they do not answer after normal working hours. Received in a non-working condition. Very difficult to contact the manufacturer, they prefer you go on website to answer questions.
Can't do any type of frame work because it only does 1/8" steel max. It also shuts off after about 1 1/2 inches on a proper bead, so long beads or whatever aren't good with this.
Don't expect to build a barbeque grille with it. I found this stick welder good for VERY small jobs, like tack welds. Don't expect to do more with it. Also, go right to high power to strike an arc or you'll end up with a bunch of rods stuck to your workpiece. It only uses small welding rods and it overheats and kicks off after a minute or two if you try to use it continuously.
The reviews are more than helpful when I decided to buy this welder. I have purchased other Campbell Hausfeld items in the past and I am very pleased with the quality and value I get from them. If you are thinking of buying one, remember it is small and requires small welding rods. I am not a professional welder but I know enough to see it was well worth the low price. Again I have received great service from Amazon. I encourage everyone who buys from Amazon to take the time and state their opinion of the items they get. I found 5/64" #6013 rod to work the best with this welder.Thanks again Amazon for the great service and product.KHOP The welder does what I need it to do.
Great little welder for fixing things around the house. Only regret is not buying it a year ago Stores easily in a cabinet & runs off of a regular outlet with no modifications to the circuit.
