Hobart H481930-RDP 308L Electrodes, Stainless Steel, 3/32-Inch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)the rods performed alright, and I did read the description & knew I would only get 5 sticks. It is disingenuous though to picture 5# & 10# packs. It would be very easy to see the 5 pounder read quantity 5 and think you were getting 5#.
this pack comes out to about $30/# or more than three times the current cost (less than $9/#) for E308L-16 rod from other sources. unless you really do need less than 5 pieces I recommend buying a tube of red baron E308L-16 from Lincoln.

Steiner 92181 Sleeves, Weld-Rite Premium Brown Split Cowhide, 23-Inch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Sleeves are comfortable but when I opened the box one of the snaps was broken. The snaps are very poorly made, and there isn't any information of how to buy new snaps for the sleeves.
Also the photograph shows the snaps being in the front. My sleeves have the left sleeve with the snap in the front and the right sleeve the snap is in the back.
That aside The sleeves are very comfortable to wear.

- Clarke MIG Welder - 230 Volt, 265 Amp, Model# WE6513A 265T Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had this model for a few years now and use it for odd things around the house and a few honey do project. It works well for what it is. The real knock I have with this product is that the company, when it was open for business, was pretty hard to get parts from. Unlike the other brands, Clarke does everything a little bit different, so you can't get replacement parts, or find local shops for repairs. Now that they're out of business, the next thing that breaks will sending me shopping for another unit.

Century 80 Gasless Wire Feed Welder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was my first welder, I bought it in '96. I've welded dozens of little projects with it in 10 years.
Pros: Easy to use, plugs in 110-120v anywhere, wire is easy to find.
Cons: Lots of slag spatter, can't use for extended periods or it'll trip it's breaker for an hour, only has the capacity for a 1 or 2 pound spool of wire - so you can't buy in bulk and save, too small for a large project, no MIG converstion kit that I've found (yet).
I'm ready to graduate to a stick or mig welder.

US Forge Welding Flux-Cored MIG Wire .030 2-Pound Spool #00062 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I like the 2lbs size and the price of this welding wire. I've used Lincoln since I started welding several years ago. Took it out yesterday for its first test... Needed to build a new gate for our horses. I used rusty old well pipe that I had laying around. Cleaned it up a bit with a wire brush (my grinder just died) and had at it. There was less spatter with this wire than others, it penetrated well, and it laid very smooth. The only issue I had was occasional binding in the hose. Not sure why. I have never had that happen with Lincoln wire. The gate was finished, hung, and tested. Worked great, welds are strong and look pretty decent for flux on old pipe.

US Forge Welding Aluminum Specialty Electrode 1/8-Inch by 14-Inch 3-Pack #07331 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The title says you are getting 3 Pack and the picture shows three packages angled across the bottom of the picture. I received one (1) pack which only contained three rods. The advertised Hobart item (Hobart H722844-RDP 1/8-Inch 4043 Aluminum Electrodes) is a much better deal as you will receive ten (10) rods for $10.18 or about $1 per rod. The US Forge rods were over $2/rod. Amazon is allowing false advertising by saying 3-pack are being provided. The ad should say 3 RODS!
UPDATE: After complaining about the false advertising, Amazon did refund me 2/3 of the price since they only sent 1-pack and the listing stated 3-pack and the picture showed 3-packs. Amazon has since changed the photo to show a single package. Amazon still needs to be clear as to what is being sold; 3-packages and each with 3 rods (total 9 rods) or a single package with 3 rods (TOTAL 3 RODS). If it is the latter, then the title of the item should be changed to read 3-ROD PACK. Nowhere in the description does Amazon state how many rods are included.

Clarke 131E Arc Welder - 120V, 130 Amp, Model# WE6519 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Good little welder so far. For the money it is put together quite well and the best part is that it's not made in China! The amperage control works very well and is easily controllable, even for small increments in temp change. The duty cycle is about 20% which isn't real long, however I have yet to time it out, plus a two minute long bead probably isn't going to be needed. If it is, a larger welder would probably be used. The leads are a bit short, especially the ground. The unit is very portable though, so the machine could probably be positioned anywhere needed to make up for the lack of length in the leads. The mask is worthless so plan on buying a regular welding helmet. The chipping hammer is funtional but I would recommend buying a good hammer and brush if you plan on doing much welding. My unit was dented slightly on the bottom when I recieved it. I do not know if this happened on it's way to me, or if the unit was damaged at an earlier time. I was able to open the unit up and straighten out the bottom to near perfect condition and the machine works just fine. One thing that would have been nice is if there was a power on light. The overload/overtemp light is built into the power switch but obviously only comes on when there is a problem. Otherwise, one has to be observant to the "hum" of the machine to verify it's on just as a precaution on top of checking the postion of the switch before setting the electrode down. Also there aren't any rubber feet on the bottom of the welder just metal "nubs" so you have to be careful you don't set the machine down to hard.
All in all a great buy for the money and is nice to use and works quite well. I would definitely recommend this welder.

Hot Max 125WFG 125 Amp Gas Ready MIG Welder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Very nice to have the continuous amperage and wire feed. This welder is a complete starter package. No running around buying the 10 pound spool adapter and the regulator for gas etc. This little guy does all I need it to and more. It has a lot of power and overloaded my 15 amp circuit. I reccomend a 20 amp circuit with a good extension cord for heavier metals. My extension cord was whimpy which did not help. Mind you I only tripped the breaker once and have welded a lot with this welder.
The costumer service is very nice as well. I have a broken insulator. They sent me out two new ones without a hitch.

Factory-Reconditioned Campbell Hausfeld RBWS090001 115-Volt Stick Welder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been wanting to get a welder of my own ever since I took a course in college a few years back. Finding this welder for so cheap gave me the perfect excuse to finally get one. It's a great welder for beginners (which I pretty much am after all these years). You only have 2 settings (High and Low), and since it uses sticks you don't need to worry about gas or wire feeding. It also plugs into any 20 amp outlet, which is nice. It will still take a while to get used to keeping an arc going, so make sure you have some scrap metal around to practice on before you try to repair anything important.
They included everything you need to get started except for the gloves. Any leather gloves should do, but thicker is better. The facemask is ok, but you have to hold it up to your face. You'll want to order goggles or a mask that you wear so you can use your hand to hold whatever you're welding together. Make sure they are dark enough, the replacement I got is #5, which is at least a couple shades to light to be really comfortable.
I was a little worried that it would be underpowered, but so far it has melted through anything I've tried if I let it. I don't have anything at the moment to test the upper limit of an 1/8th inch, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was a conservative limit. I've read reviews of similar products and was also concerned that a common complaint is that nobody can strike an arc on low power. I'm happy to say that that is all I'm using so far, and it really isn't difficult at all. If you are having trouble, try rubbing away any excess coating on the stick so you can see the metal in the middle. It fixes it every time for me.
For $67 this welder can't be beat!

Pro-Grade Ultra-Portable 100-Amp Electric Arc Welder - 110V Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this to fix a snow blower for starters and then all the other stuff that has stress cracks and touching up/ re-inforcement needs. I happen to have a 30 amp 110V RV plug for my trailer on the side of garage to connect to. I read the other articles about popping 20 amp breakers but I happen to luck out on this benefit. Welder comes equipped with a standard 3 prong plug for 110V household so I got a RV 30 amp male to 15 amp female adapter and all is good. Adapter is available at Walmart for $5-6 and nothing gets hot after running four 1/8 practice rods....I haven't welding in 20 years and it shows! Bottom line it works great!
