The CHEAPEST Engine Drive Welder

- #stickwelding #welding #welder I bought the cheapest engine drive welder!
Here’s the link to it- amzn.to/40jQwlS
For only $1000 how could I go wrong? Have it the hardest test I could think of and set out to weld a 1” deep crack in a excavator bucket. Can it weld it? You’ll have to watch and see. I tested it with every welding rod I would normally use “7018, 6010 and 6011. We test the power outlets with my high amp grinders to see if they hold up!
Here’s some other welders tools I used -
3m respirator- amzn.to/3JrqcPO
Black stallion welding gloves- amzn.to/3YZGTrh
Bocomal welding jacket- amzn.to/3Trbz3y
Hobart welding helmet- amzn.to/3lhUJaY

"IT EVEN COMES WITH A FUCKING FUNNEL" had me crying! 00:58
got that exact welder at TSC it listed for $1300 marked down to 850.00 so when she scanned it , it said $480.00 close out, brand new in the box, i have 3 migs and 1 tig and this gas powererd i have used in the field for
about 2yrs. on various jobs, the last was around 8 hrs of welding and only used about a 1/1/2 gallons of gas all day very happy with this machine...
You stole that.
Nice to see the versatility of something like this to even a hobbyist welder. Also like to see that PPE. Sets a good example for all the young welders starting out in the industry or even at home.
I see those cheap ass respirators everywhere now. Indoors, outdoors whatever. Even the welders at my shop that have exhaust hoods use them.
The Vulcan outlaw from harbor freight is a great deal. Been working almost every day without a hitch for a year. Great machine!!
Right on
Lincoln knock off. Wiring is not as good
@@wcmwfab935 it doesn’t matter what it knocks off or if the wirings isn’t as good. All that matters is that mother fuckers running.
@@MeltinMetalAnthony Shut up >:(.
That’s my welder I just ordered . Had a short hood 200 , downsized , needed something that can do multi process such as letting me weld mig off the generator , Running Chop saws and stuff as well as stick weld. The outlaw 195 is very underrated !
We have used the ruclips.net/user/postUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y for probably 30 hours with our camper and it’s been great! The noise level is really only noticeable when running the AC and other appliances like the microwave, hair dryer, or coffee pot. It’s not huge like other ones and it has wheels so even at 90lbs, I can move it!
Definitely seems an excellent starter welder for someone to get started with cool little package and with all the bits can’t complain. Great work and great video 👍👍
Totally agree
Nice find for those that do not have one of the tool outlets near them. The starter and wheel kit add good value to the package.
Someone else already answered but yeah that weird plug should have a matching socket on the side of the machine so you can charge 12V batteries. They make it that shape so you can't accidentally plug it into a normal 120V socket.
Bingo. I have that with a set of jumper cables for 2 of my small gens. Jumped my pickup a couple of times. It's a must have and HF used to have it on their small gens and included a set of jumper cables
I run one all day at the job site, good on gas. Welds 7018 really good. Got a 50 (stinger) and 45 (ground) leads on it. I really like it. God is great.
*engineers
Bro. I look forward to your videos. Pure education, and entertainment. Keep up the good work. 💪🏼
I absolutely love your content. You've seriously boosted my confidence in starting my own business.
Great to hear!
Do it
For sure a decent back up macine. When the jobs gotta get done, its gotta get done.
Great video as always. I've been looking for an engine-drive machine that doesn't cost a fortune (I only do a little mobile work), and this might be just the answer. Thanks again, man!
Glad to help
@@MeltinMetalAnthony have to agree , the man makes the welder not the machine ☝️✌️🙏💪☯️🥱
Cool video I'd love to see you test more cheap welders
Great suggestion!
Hey Anthony, if you haven't read through that manual yet or somebody hasn't said it yet, the cord with the clips and the odd plug end on it is a battery charging cord. On many portable gensets that have electric start instead of recoil it works two ways. First it allows you to charge a car battery from running your generator and second, but a little more of an unauthorized use, it allows you to charge the battery on the generator if it's dead by clipping a battery charger to it or clipping it to your car battery while the engine is running instead of digging the battery out of the generator. I enjoy your videos whenever one pops up in the queue. That unit reminds me of the old Lincoln Weldanpower units you'd get at a rental yard, good for a pinch when your normal rig goes down. I'd be interested to see if that could run a squirt rig suitcase in a pinch. I never tried but it'd be interesting to try. I ran a lot more FCAW than stick and a lot more MIG than FCAW. But hey, if the metal's burnin' I'm earnin'. I learned a long time ago that it doesn't matter the process, so long as you know how to make it run right. Keep meltin metal Anthony😉
Right on that would be interesting to see if it’d run a suit case
Would you please keep us up with the welder because everybody always has good reviews out-of-the-box. What matters is a year or two years down the road. But it does do a nice job
I like your closing statement its dope. Well put. Bsafe dude
Dude, your videos make me laugh more consistently than anything else on youtube.
Nice review! I bought a similar machine for $400. It's a very old Multiquip ACX-170S. Nice smooth arc and a push button start.
Very cool!
Looks like a good deal as a backup or occasional use machine. It'll be interesting to see how it holds up long term. That would be my only concern.
Lol the vevor mig 270 I got I am in love with so far , who knows how long it will last but so far so good !!!! As much as I hate to give china money it was kind of my only option for a small mig machine in my price range I looked high and low for a decent used machine and people are out of their minds on used welder prices
Great review young man. I bought my engine drive welder generator off a friend for £500 ($700?) and he used in his service van for at least three years. It only 200amps, has one 110v and one 240v Single Phase outlets but it's done quite a bit of work for me that has made it pay for itself. It will even run my 260amp Single Phase Mig welder on its lowest settings to weld up a car when there was a power cut locally.
Sure, l would love a big diesel engine Lincoln or Miller welder. But they cost an absolute fortune here in the UK.
Great video and BRILLIANT outro as usual! 😂
Thanks brother
Man, you’re always keeping it real. That outro cracked me up! Keep up the good work
Thanks! Will do!
Good to see you back
Just found your channel! I ordered this machine a few days ago and it already arrived.
My profession now is wildland firefighting, but one of the heavy equipment guys broke the grapple on their logging forwarder on a fire in Cali so my captain volunteered me into fixing it up, so I fixed it for them with a HF welder hooked into a HF generator, and I swore I'll never be caught in that situation ever again, it was infuriating but somehow it worked...
I'm excited to put this guy to work, I would be willing to get back into welding and out of fire again if all things go well.
Business expenses tax write off
Love your channel Anthony and how pragmatic you ate, When the
miller trailblazer isn't available, this works. It's all about prep on multi pass.
Shane Gannon, AWS CWI 2009
Glad u did a real test on it. Kind of tired of seeing guys run a 1” bead or 2 on a piece of plate in the shop and saying how great it is 😂. Keep it up brother 👍
Thanks 👍
That's not bad at all. I had an old Weldanpower engine driven welder that had to have been 50 years old. Worked like a champ
Dude me too, literally just sold it last week for 2 grand more than I paid 5 years ago lol
The last line kills me and is why I love this dudes content 😂
Thanks I was in the market for a engine driven welder and this reviews helps with the process thanks Ant
No problem 👍
Hey Anthony, Jose from Puerto Rico. Nice job man! I got a generator I bought years ago for 600 bucks. I'm gonna give it a shot and see what happens. Furthermore, I've been subscribed to your channel for quite some time and I haven't commented lately, but this video caught my eye. This is something I can probably do too.
Love watching Anthony. He really knows his stuff. Makes me more confident in getting my own business going. Love this channel. Keep going you are Great.
Thanks man! I’ll do my best
Great video! Nice work. Looks good.
Thank you for making and posting this video.
Finally, I've been looking for a review or anything on these and never found anything, and now my favorite RUclipsr got the exact one I was looking at for Backup cause I have a low hours weldanpower 225
Glad I could help!
I love the sign off man. "If you didnt like it, GFY" I look forward to that every time
Lol
Flat out won me over the last minute I subscribed right then
Been trying to find a engine welder that is in my price range thanks bro love the video
No problem 👍
You are probably one of the funniest guys on the tube I don't weld but what ever
Thanks man!
How do you keep your hands on the rod my rods gets hot and burn me a little bit through my Tig gloves do mig gloves really make that big of a difference and I use the Harbor freight Titanium 140 multi process welder and my stick welder only goes to 75 Amps
Your attitude alone gets a sub from a fellow arc jockey 🤘
Cool video man. It informed me more about this generator. I wanted to ask you your pro opinion on which generator you would recommend to pair with my Lincoln ac/dc tombstone stock welder to use out on the field/ ranch? I was considering the Cummins 9500df but not sure if it’s a good choice. That model is made in Vietnam but would rather get a USA made one. Any recommendations for USA generators or a decent one made overseas? Thank you & have a great day
Never change how you talk bro, love it 🙏🏻
Great video Anthony, welds look clean.
Thanks 👍
My new favorite channel by far keep it up brother when can we see you review that harbor freight engine drive? There is only a few videos out there and they sent the most in-depth shit might get some views
Didn’t buy that one maybe one day
Great machine for the money and a real winner for small repair jobs. A word of advice on small Chinese engines, do a few oil flushes as it runs in. They are known for shavings from manufacturing being left behind. Use exactly the grade recommended as they are splash fed. Often a straight 30 weight is called for.
A bit of care and you have a fantastic backup machine or a small odd job machine you can cart in the trunk of your family car, pays for itself the first welding job you do!
You confirmed I'm going to school for welding. Great review keep it up sir.
Great review!!
Thanks!
That weird plug is PROBABLY for the DC output. Intended as Battery charger I think
Hey! Anthony how you doing bro? Let me start with saying that you are a outstanding worker and person,I like the fact that you give welding tips,tricks and advice also a big morale speech about good and bad time been a independent welder and worker a real entrepreneur bro keep it up,keep doing real and bad ass content at the field that’s where the real challenge is at not in a welding shop or production welding facility,lone wolf bro outstanding work 👍🏻100%
Cool little machine for the money, bit loud but gets the job done, enjoyed the vid
Totally agree
Keep em coming
So I was taken aback by the profanity, but when I saw the welds, I was like "fuck yeah, this guy's fuckin legit!" I fuckin subscribed! Hahahaha. Awesome review bro! 😂👊🏼
Love the videos brother ( no second takes)
Always love the outros. Perfections
Glad you like them!
Looks like a good welding machine to use around the farm when stuff breaks in the fields. ✌🏻
You got that right!
That machine worked it out once you got your heat settings...👍🤔🎯🔥 Nice deal for a backup.,..💎
What’s your little grinder that you’re using to knock the slag off? Seems handy
Thank you, Im going to be buying a small engine drive to put on an f150. In this category I've been looking at the Vulcan outlaw, Esab Ruffian, Tomahawk 210, and I keep coming back to this as well maybe. I think im going to go with the Tomahawk as it is advertised to work with 6010 comes with leads and tig torch but its nice to know I can make this one work if I want to spend a little more on the air comp for the rig setup.
Tomahawk runs 6010 finer adjustments and has idle control, Ruffian can kind of brother in-law you can run near highest amps and still run a small mig welder if you want someone tacking and assembling while someone welds up. The Vulcan less features but better price more amps than Esab if you or anyone has any experience that would help please let me know, would help the final setup for this little shotgun truck.
That plug is for charging a 12v battery. It is not an automatic shut off it can over charge a battery if left unattended. But looks like a decent unit.
Great attitude!!
The funky two prong plug with alligator clamps is for charging an external battery like a car or something like that. Can't jump start but just a nice little extra.
Love the ending 💯👍🙌💪
Love that ending 😭😭 “go f yourself I don’t give 2 sh*ts”😭😭😂😂😂
Loved your rant about airgas
I like your attitude Sir , great way to deal with the troll :)
That strange plug is 12v DC output for charging batteries
Makes sense! Thank you
I just started my welding certification class. What is the best way to weld. Circle, zig zag? Or is it just what way works best for you?
Depends on the situation! Watch the puddle and move where you need to
does it have a break in period for the oil , to be changed after the first few hours
No idea didn’t read the manual lmao
Great vidya I’ve been trying to find a cheap gas welder that still works alright I have nice welding machines at work but I want to practice at home too and this might be the ticket
Can you weld, and grind at the same time? What's the max thickness of metal it can weld?
Did ya have much issue fitting the leads? & what plate thickness could you weld with it pls ? Looked like u almost had it wound right out. Just asking cos I'm looking for a good cheap machine at the moment. Great video 👍
Awesome dude! You DA MAN!
Thanks! You too!
That odd plug is for the 12 volt out.
You can charge batteries with this.
See if it has an option to manually set the throttle.
Right now it sounds like it is in fuel saver mode where it adjusts the RPMs to match output.
That is why it take it a second to come up to full power.
My generator will let you turn that off and manually set the throttle.
If you can do that on this I think you will like it more.
I found the manual on line.
It doesn't say anything about a manual throttle.
I guess you will have to live with that slight hesitation at the start.
If you are starting out on a budget you are probably better off to just buy a 220 Volt generator and a 220 Volt welder.
That is pretty much always cheaper than buying a generator with a welder built in.
hey man would you recommend the harbor freight predator 9500 quiet inverter generator and say a lincoln tombstone stick welder?
Sounds just like a harbor freight generator. Do you use any kind of fuel stabilizer for it? That’s the only thing that bugs me in my cheaper engines carbs gum up fast
Hell of a video 👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽🫡
I just bought one of these for a backup , it’s not a Miller bay any means but it’s a welder when you need one!
"Some Chinese bullshit if I ever saw it" lmao
i seen those in a facebook ad, they are trying to sell those for $5800 plus taxes... so i got a $50 broken 7000watt dewalt generator a 3.08 8.8 ford differential and a 4.6 V8 triton engine, 75hz would be 1500rpm "9000watt". weld up a 3 bolt flange that bolts to the crack shaft pully and a recycled steering shaft joint that slips over it. 2000rpm on the engine would be 100hz on the generator 1.7X output braker tripping. $50 PTO welder... 50amp to run 5/32 rod, 90amp to run 3/16 rod, sputtering minimum throughput that comes out clean... 12000watt at 100hz... 408 volts.
Epic dam closing brother 🙏🏽
Yup I’m a new home hobby welder just getting into the welding world🤙🤙
I have the same machine in the back of my service van.....I rarely ever use it but when I do it works well enough once you guess the amperage......
Bonne machine, faudrais que je m'en procure une dans le genre, un jour.
Continue, c'est super.
hook a clamp meter up to the work lead and see how many amps that thing will actually run at max. That would be a good test to run.
Maybe I’ll bring it to John and bank test it
I’m impressed with you and the machine.
Bad ass review 🤙🏼
I just took a week welding course, it is a badass welding setup. They have every machine you can think of. The fact of the matter, even with very expensive machines, Allot of the guys weren't that good at welding. Just a matter of your skill. You can have a torch in the forest to start a fire, but some guys just need 2 sticks.
I'm new to the channel, I like your attitude and your realistic way of speaking, feels like I'm right there with you in person and your not worried about a camera watching you because of what squirmy little bitches might say, you have more than earned my subscription, thank you Sir.
Glad to read a comment from a real MF thanks for the sub!
Awesome video. Is there any chance you could tell me your model respirator? I like the way you can make it easily fall with hood on and can’t seem to find anything like it
I use the 3m quick latch can’t recall filter number
Love the videos keep it up
Glad you like them!
Sweet Vid Anthony! When are you coming back up North? Those connectors ook like they could be Lenco "LC" lugs, I use them on my Bobcat 225G that I rebuilt (paid 700$ CAD for it w/ 150f of 1/0). You can spread out each "leg" of the connector to make it tighter and they don't seem to jam up as much in the cold.
Sweet little chinese machine but watch the oil consumption, Project Farm has a recent vid on Chinese engines.
I have seen similar end there I think it's for a 12v output for charging a 12v battery but I assume you figure it out later
BRO PLEASE DO MORE SHORTS ABOUT THET GUY FROM WESTERN WELDING THATS SHIT IS GOLD !!!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
I found an online manual which says Duty Cycle is @190A 1.5 minutes per 10 minutes (8.5 minutes resting) and @
Dang not so good! Thank you for the info brother
I wish Everlast made an engine drive welder that ran 250amp AC/DC 60%+ duty cycle to compete with red and blue
Most generators nowadays have a low oil cutoff that kills spark if it's low.
NLA on amazon, and the co website doesnt have it listed. maybe there were some problems with it -?
Man I just like how real you are! Hell yeah thats refreshing! My only question is, I've been looking for a cheap engine drive mainly been looking at used millers and hobarts. Whats the real difference between that and like a hobart champion 16? Those have a 8,000watt gen. Just more weld power?
Ya more power and probably a smoother arc
Great video as usual mate.
We need to see more Reno work to your house
Klutch makes an engine drive welder for 2000 similar to the miller bluestar. My old boss had one and it always came in clutch. I have a miller wildcat I got for 1200 when I first went off on my own been running strong ever since.
