I have the Arccaptain Tig 200 (DC). Tiny too. Listen. the bang for the buck is tremendous. the newer foot pedal is out now; not that massive boat anchor in the video. my only gripe. the torch is heavy. other than that I prefer the Arccaptain over my Everlast 211. The AC/DC version above in this video would be a good purchase if you are into Aluminum TIG.
I've been looking at the 200 DC only unit for general light fab. if you don't mind telling me, how is it holding up, have you owned it for a while and no problems? I'm out in the jungle near Honduras so warranty claims are near impossible... Thanks
@@chele-chele holding up well. if you are a foot pedal person then the new foot pedal just came out although that is a separate purchase and not included. will work fine off 120V. again my only gripe is the torch is heavy. i guess the way to alleveiate that is to wrap the cord on my shoulders. this is a very simple machine to use. no bells or whistles but it certainly does weld very well
Show us the back of this welder. It involves moving the camera or phone. How does the hose fit? Is it 8mm I.D. Or 7/16"? Now June 15th 2024 as I start shopping as a retired ASE Master of 40+ years, I have to be tight with my Uncle Joe Dollars. In sheet metal, a welded TIG is softer for hammer & dolly work. MIG, such as my 150 Amp from 1984, creates a hard weld that cracks if welding door gaps w/hammering. We start with a 50's Lincoln crank-top stick welder, then acquire a torch. Now a good simple TIG that is capable of doing aluminum. Thanks for the review. I wish they sent me one. It comes from their advertising budget! Not a disabled ASE Master Tech who had 14 lumbar procedures and Dr's are done offering no help for a 6'3" tall guy who who worked until 9PM a dealerships for other people's vehicles!
Your a good welder, thank you sir and have a blessed day America
Does the foot pedal actually control amps like a real machine, or does it just turn HF off and on.
the new foot pedal definitely controls amperage. a huge improvement over the Queen Mary anchor you see here.

I'm sorry. No offence meant. Worrying about button beep is fussing slightly too much.

You didn’t do much in actually showing how to change settings?
