DC inverter welders?

Post by Nev62 »

Has anybody used these DC inverter welders before? Cheap and nasty or usable as an emergency tool in the middle of nowhere?

Yeah I bought one of these for the primary purpose of re-selling it to make more $$$....which I managed to achieve.

I tried it out a few times and it worked beautifully. Did not weld for too long or thick plates but it did the job and was nice and compact.

As for its long term durability who would know with these cheapies.

i have this model at home, very good for only small fine detail jobs, and yes i do a mig and larger arc(transformer type) and oxy, welds are a high penertration, and good for panel work, and ive used it a couple of times to do bigger jobs as in 5-6mm plate, not bad for soething that wieghs around the 3 kg mark

oh and they retail in stores around me for 299-350 range
