YESWELDER135Amp MIG Welder,110V Flux Core Welder Flux Core MIG/Lift TIG/Stick 3-in-1 Large LED Digital Display Welding Machine IGBT Inverter Welder FLUX-135PRO

I have been using little cheap mig welders for about 20 years. I have welded more full exhaust then I can count.My old welder crapped out on me in the middle of an exhaust. So I needed a welder fast. This arrived over night.So far I love this little welder. Set it to flux, and used the setting it was on when I first turned it on. (420). Seemed like a good number to start with.I am making very nice welds with this. Way better then with my old one.I learned that with no gas, you shouldn't try to pull a long bead. Just make a spot weld the size of your fingernail. (pinky nail). Stop (pause). When the red glow dies, place another spot weld overlapping the last one. Stop (pause) wait for red glow to die, and repeat until you have completed the whole thing.This will ensure you have nice looking welds, and you don't burn through the metal.Make sure the surface is clean. After 4-5 spot welds, stop and use a wire brush to remove residue, then keep going. Rinse and repeat.If you don't want spatter on the surface around the weld, then cover the area with a wet cloth. Wrap it in wet leather. Something like that, you get the idea.Initially the wire was a pain to get started. Be patient. Remove the tip at the end of the feed first. Once it was all set up, it works nicely.I really love how light it is. Very portable. And easy to store.I am impressed with this $100 welder. Every man should own one and teach himself to weld. Save a lot of money, and it's fun too.If you complete just one task that you normally would have paid someone to do, then it has already paid for it self.

This is a fantastic light duty FCAW welder. I simply took it out of the box, connected cables, installed wire and started welding and it does an excellent job and is crazy easy use. Flux core is a bit messy but I can easily see many uses for this in my shop. I highly recommend this for home owners and diy folks that aren't going to be welding thick metal.

So far works like a champ. I have welded several times with it and so far so good. I havent welded since highschool shop class, so it has been a minute since I have welded anything. Seems perfect for small jobs and tinker shops. I was pretty skeptical at first. If your a newby welder remember to use positive terminal for your ground clamp wire. Save yourself some headaches as directions showed negative to negative until I came across a review like this and some other person was kind enough to share.

I own the Fluxcore 135, and the Mig 250 Pro welders. They're both good welders, although cheap (build and price). The welding charts for these welders are metric. These are hobby/DIY welders and both come with a 1 year warranty.Fuxcore 135Works well for a 110V welder. This is a DC only welder (DCEP + DCEN). It's capable of Fluxcore and Stick welding only. The amperage displayed on the screen for stick seems off (less than it actually is by im guessing 10-15 amps). You can weld up to ⅛ thick steel with this welder. The wire spool holder and wire tensioner are cheap and poorly made but function. The stinger, electrode holder and ground clamp are cheap but work good enough. I've welded .030 and .035 fluxcore wire for mild steel with it and it's easy to set wire speed, wire size and voltage trim (not actual voltage). You cannot set volts with with this machine in Fluxcore mode as it's a synergic only machine. Amperage and volts adjusts automatically with wire feed speed, the higher the wire feed speed the higher the amps and volts. It welds good, holds a consistent arc and wire feed speed is consistent and steady. When welding Fluxcore you "pull" away from the weld pool when traveling. I have it tied into a 110V 20 amp outlet and never tripped the breaker. I'm impressed with this welder for the price of the unit.Mig 250 ProThis is a much nicer welder compared to the Fluxcore 135, as it is a 220V (only 😢) welder and is capable of higher amps and types of welding. It has 10-25 European cable connectors. You can weld up to ½ with this welder. It does Stick, Mig, Pulsed Mig, Fluxcore (I'm guessing Dual Shield Fluxcore as well) and lift Tig, Tig torch not included. DC only on all types of welding, so no aluminum welding on Tig. It can Mig weld SS with 98/2 gas and ER308L wire. Aluminum with 100% argon gas and ER4043 wire, with (or without) a spool gun, spool gun not included and of course mild steel with ER70S-6 wire. It comes with a graphene stinger liner you need to change to if you want to feed wire thru the stinger without a spool gun for aluminum (but normally this isn't recommended). I've used this welder for Stick and Mig (with C25 gas) welding so far. It accepts 2lb and 10lb wire spools. It has an inching button to fastely feed wire during the initial setup. With a 10lb spool loading wire is tedious and tight spaced. To adjust spool tension rotate the iron nut on the spool holder clockwise for tighter/counter clockwise for looser. For wire tension with Fluxcore wire don't over tighten the tensioner or you'll crush your wire. Mig (with gas) with solid wire can have a higher tension. As with the Fluxcore 135 this unit has a cheap wire spool holder, electrode holder and ground clamp. The stinger is nice but is only rated at 150 amps. If you weld in manual Mig mode with maxed out voltage and wire speed you'll fry the stinger. The tensioner is nice and comes with different rollers for Flux core steel and SS (W knurled type .035 roller), Mig steel and SS (V type .023, .030 and .035 rollers) and Mig aluminum (U type .035 .045 roller). I have it tied into a 220V 50amp outlet and haven't had any problems with the breaker tripping. I feel like the amperage may be less than the screen indicates, by maybe 10-15 amps less than shown. I've ran 7018, 6013 and 6010 electrodes on Stick, all 3/32nd's. The unit seems to not work with 6010 rods as they just don't weld properly (This is common on power inverter type welders). The 6013 and 7018 electrodes weld great! I'm very pleased with this welder in stick mode both DCEN and DCEP. It has multiple settings you can adjust along with the amperage for stick welding including hot start, arc force (DIG), anti-stick and VRD (voltage reduction in high moisture/humidity environments for safety). For Mig it has wire feed speed, burn back time, inductance, hot start, 2T/4T, voltage trim (-5/+5 with each number representing 0.3 volts in synergic Mig) and volts (in manual Mig). For Mig welding I've used .030 solid wire ER70S-6 (10lb spool) with C25 as my gas at 20CFH at the regulator and it welds great. I haven't ever hit duty cycle but it's 60% at 250 amps. I've used it in Synergic MiG mode only. It has manual mig where you can set the volts. This machine should be capable of spray transfer Mig with .035 wire in manual Mig with 90/10 gas and an upgraded 250 amp stinger. I'm not sure what gas option you would pick on screen though. In Synergic mode it's dialed in on its own, you just set wire feed speed and the type of gas your using. I replaced the ground clamp with a 300 amp Lincoln clamp, the electrode holder with a 250 amp Lincoln and the stinger with a Euro connection 250 amp Tweco #2 knockoff. The welds I lay down with this unit on Mig are fantastic! Once my bottle is empty I'll get 100% Argon and try out Tig. This welder is not foot pedal compatible for Tig. Both welders are a great bang for your buck! I'll run the machine on max amps for stick and max volts and wire feed speed for MiG and use an Amp clamp to see if it really puts out as much power as it says then I'll update my review.
