"Out of curiosity I decided to measure and record the output of both welders with an amp meter while test welding. The numbers bounced around some but what I found was: Plugged direct to a 115v 30A outlet, with welder set to the following I measured: 160-> 130-140A. 140-> 120A. 120-> 100A. 100-> 85-95A. 80 -> 65A (this explains why I had trouble). On a 230v 30A outlet I measured: 160-> 140A. 120-> 106A. On a positive note, even with a 25ft extension cord on the 115v 30A outlet I still measured: 160->132 amps. 120->100 amps. Even though my meter is supposedly accurate to 3%, just to compare, with my HF welder I measured the following on a 115v 30A outlet: 80-> 102 amps. 67-> 86-100 amps. 55-> 87-89. (The HF welder has Hot Start and Arc Force so the higher numbers were expected but i did not expect it to be as high as I measured). My outlets have plenty of power so I can only conclude that the 160 amp rating is false, at least for the unit I recieved. This welder does not feel like it has any noticable hot start or arc force or anti stick function. On the HF welder I could measure with the meter, the hot start amps surge and arc force changes, it would measure 100A starting then it would stablize at 86A. With this welder the measured amps were more consistent."
"I used this for thin stock..1/8 (I have to be careful but it really works fine)..."
"ive used this for all kinds of things, wished i would have bought one sooner, buy one you wont regret it."
"Im no welding expert, but so far it's working great for around the house projects."
"Now I'm able to do my own welding projects again."
"Just amazing... simple and basic and get the job done... my back up machine on the go.."
"Stinger is a little flimsy but overall an excellent running welder."

"I have tried other magnetic products for making custom woodworking jigs, and can say this is the best I have found."
"It's strong enough to pick up my anvil when on but won't pick up a paper clip when off."
"The magnet is very strong and can be used for numerous jigs."
"I recommend that you buy the base that goes with it."
"This purchase makes 6 that I own."
"Great help in the field I work in holding x-ray film to piping and tanks, or checking whether carbon steel or stainless steel components."

"Just what I expected and fit my welder perfectly."
"quick shipping."
"I have a Hobart140 and this cart work perfectly for it as a hobby welder."
"If you modify the handle to make the welder fit, the door on the side of your welder will not clear the support arm so you cannot access your wire spools for replacement. So now all set...not quite yet, your gas tank will not sit on the back of he cart without hitting the back of your welder."
Best Arc Welding Rods
The Forney 30705 7018 Mild Steel Low Hydrogen Welding Rod produces quality results on low amperage DC welders and higher amperage AC welders. The third number tells the welding position; ie.1=All position ie.2=Flat or Horizontal position ie.4=Flat, Horizontal, Overhead and Vertical Down position. The fourth number indicates the type of current to be used and coating of the rod; ie.0=Cellulose Sodium, with deep penetration, use Direct Current Electrode Positive ie.1=Cellulose Potassium, with deep penetration, use AC or Direct Current Electrode Positive, or Direct Current Electrode Negative ie.3=Titania Potassium, with light penetration, use AC or Direct Current Electrode Positive ie.8=Low Hydrogen, Iron Powder, with medium penetration use AC or Direct Current Electrode Positive. Designed for welding head enable steels and projects involving hard to weld steels including thick sections and restrained joints with cracking issues.

"It stayed fastened to a smooth ceramic table for 2 weeks before I had to physically remove it."
"My only issue is that the pivoting neck doesn't get tight enough to support the weight of the phone in its case, so over time the phone tilts lower as I drive."
"The retaining arms are kind of wonky on the one that I use the most already so I doubt it will last more than a year, but still a good value for the price I feel."
"It took me a little while to position this in my Avalon car vent, but I eventually got it - LOL!"
