It's crazy how good these cheap welders work for the money. I have a Simder brand welder that I paid $60 for on Amazon and it works great. The display reads wrong tho, I measured it my amp clamp. Gotta crank it up some. I just ordered a Hitbox ac/dc tig machine to do some stainless and aluminum welding. I'm excited to see how it does but I'm thinking it will do just fine and for $260 off Ebay, I couldn't resist
This is very interesting that's the same size as a Harbor Freight Chicago Electric 80 amp welder and puts out more amperage than it does and Cost Less I'm 42 years old and when I started welding as a professional the machines are the size of a small dorm refrigerator and took a forklift to move and now one man can pick up a 200-amp welder with one hand I never thought I would see anything like this in my lifetime
O problema não é a maquina mas sim quem a usa, abrir buracos na chapa pode ser evitado se alterar a polaridade, limpesa das peças, regulação da amperagem ou até mesmo a técnica do soldador.
Hello, which one do you think is better, the hitbox mini arc-200D or the YESWELDER ARC-205D? Which one would be more reasonable to buy in terms of quality and performance, as their prices are almost the same? I'm undecided between the two.
You shouldn't need to take any pulleys off if you push in the clutch and apply the parking brake it will release the tension of the belt there for making it easy to take the belt off the pully. If your tractor is one that uses the twin belt cvt system, then you will need to take the top belt off if you and replacing the main bottom one going to the engine sometimes you may need to take the whole rear fenders off depending on the mower you have to get to the belts easier. I hope this was a help to you if you have ANY questions let me know, thank you.
Hi there my friend I have just watched your vid on the hit box arc200dmini welder and it very interesting I am just a hobby welder and u no a thing or two so could u do a vid on wat the setting r and do coz I have no clue wot u where saying and mean so if u can would be a great help thanks
i know a few thing intek single that need to be removed to hotrod them AVS, governer weights, and fix headgasket issues their rods are plenty big to be overrevved
I receive completely same machine for free, as a gift after buying big TIG machine. Still not open the box, may be present it to friend in untouched state. I already have small MMA machine but not so small. Wonder that it works!
Ew, makes me not think about my og Hitbox ARC200 only being 220V. Wondering what a current clamp reads on a lead at 110 or 220? Looks like you cleaned some of the weld surface too. Hhhmmm, 7018 is what I prefer in general arc welding with clean surfaces and a prayer that the metal isn't pot metal with who knows what inhomogeneities. Now days, I say FCAW it! 🙂
That was what I was thinking. it's small enough to run on most 4000w generators. Common these days on most job sites. I bet it would fit in a 50cal ammo box with a hand held mask easy.
the way you fix ugly welds is first you weld something you scrap the slag off and the use some filler then spray paint this is coming from someone who has never welded any at all
By juggling the arc-force setting, you can make these little welders sing - arc force matters a LOT. More than the amps etc.
You just about had me sold on trying it -- For a hundred bucks --- But it's the guy with the dimples - Really pushed it over the edge !

Yup I bought one and still does it job for most case it’s for small projects !
Happy Birthday John! Greetings from Canada. Y'all are awesome!
That little welder is very impressive.It looks like toy and i was worried getting one but I'm impressed with it.
You'd get much better results if you cleaned all the paint, rust and oil off the metal first Neil but we know you don't like to.

its not 200A, more like 130 when meassured

Awesome, little welder. Thank you for the video
I know it sounds crazy, but a little trick. I learned about a year ago is the dip the rod in water and maybe not have the weather so close you burn it
Will this work off normal household electrical socket and mcb(16a)? Or do you need >20a and a 12awg extension cord?
Works on a regular plug
Happiest Birthday 🎉to John!!
Thanks for video. Is that can be used at home and how many amp for the breaker? Thanks
Better at 15 amps.
Running on 15
Mai vista saldatura così bella.. Grazie mille

How do I get a pulley off of a MTD mower to replace the drive belt with out a pulley puller and i love your videos

John is right, that thing is adorable... looks like a purse and sounds like a hair dryer
What torch did you get for this please ?
Check fuse on these machines,one person I no ,the fuse in the plug was Bridged

Got a $100 it is worth carrying in your truck with rod, helmet, extension cord etc.. Thank you!🇺🇸

Thank you for your channel!
My son Birthday is the first to.
$100 is a deal with all the gizmos
I can't wait to used my ,I perchase on ebay for 50 USD
Aye firsts view
You have traveled speed to fast
Take 1/16 electrodes with travel speed slower will be better results.
