TRUST ME I GET IT!
LOW PRICE WELDERS ARE SOMETHING MOST OF US WOULD LOVE TO HAVE IN THE SHOP!
BUT YOU TEND TO GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!
as with everything else you tend to get the level of quality you pay for
there is ALWAYS a compromise, made between quality and price
I learned that long ago,
“Quality is like buying oats: like:. If you want nice, clean, fresh oats, you must pay a fair price.
However, if you can be satisfied with oats that have already been through the horse ...
that comes a little cheaper.”
do they work? yes they do!
but the quality / strength ,of the weld, in my experience is generally significantly lower that a MIG or TIG might provide!
YOU CAN GET A DECENT WELDER FOR A REASONABLE PRICE BUT IT TAKES RESEARCH AND TIME TO FIND DEALS
OBVIOUSLY KNOWING WHAT YOU NEED AND HAVING EXPERIENCE HELPS
YES THE VIDEO's , POINT OUT A BUNCH OF USEFUL INFO
YES THEY ARE DIRT CHEAP! THEY ARE ALSO NOT AS GOOD AT PRODUCING DECENT WELDS COMPARED,
TO WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH A DECENT 220 VOLT MIG OR TIG WELDER
THE GUY IN THE VIDEO, SOUNDS LIKE HALF THE REDNECKS (GOOD OLD COUNTRY BOYS) I GREW UP WITH IN fla!

rental or owned tanks
when you go to buy or rent tanks for welding gases, don,t buy off craigs list or ebay, chances are good the tanks are out of certification or rental tanks, and be aware most refill company's only refill tanks with their company name on them or privately owned tanks that are certified many tanks...

YES THEY ARE CHEAP, MY ADVISE BITE THE BULLET AND GET A DECENT mig OR tig WELDER,
YES BOTH REQUIRE USE OF A TANK AND REGULATOR WITH SHIELD GAS...
YES IT COSTS MORE BUT IT PRODUCES FAR BETTER AND STRONGER WELDS
OVER THE LONG TERM YOULL BE UNLIKELY TO REGRET THE MONEY SPENT,

keep firmly in mind welders are expensive pieces of equipment, and your very likely to need replacement parts. and repair work occasionally over SEVERAL DECADES, thus dealing with a reliable name brand Welders is strongly advised over dealing with low price alone , Plasma Cutters, Welding...
