Testing Handheld Welder from TRQWH

[@Marticus518]

I was fully expecting this to be in the xxxx digits in regards to price, but atm it's 80 bucks! That's crazy! Nice video :)

[@scantronsgarage]

Thank you! and yes for the money this is totally worth it

[@TRQWH]

Thank you very much for sharing.

[@scantronsgarage]

You bet! Thank you for the opportunity

[@TRR_Designs]

Is this still for sale? Doesn't show up on the links above...

[@patricksecor2813]

What setting would I want it to fill a hole on a quarter panel?

[@HomerJ1964]

This would be invaluable on a farm, for quick repairs.

[@scantronsgarage]

Yeah! It's definitely good for that. I use it on my property all the time

[@LordFlashheart1]

Great video, do you know what power generator would this run off?

[@scantronsgarage]

Thanks! Any generator that supports 110 V and 20 Amps will work

[@LordFlashheart1]

@ great thanks

Can you use alumirod to weld aluminum with this welder?

[@scantronsgarage]

Yes but it will not be pretty

[@mikew8622]

Does it only use AC rods?

[@scantronsgarage]

Yes

[@scantronsgarage]

But this is a DC welding machine. So just any filler rod with flux

[@chazwatson1810]

I couldn’t find it 🤷‍♂️. And the link says page not found

[@scantronsgarage]

I will update the link. Sorry about that

[@baldeagle5297]

What's the duty cycle? I can't imagine a 110 stick welder could run for long without overheating.

[@scantronsgarage]

I don't know the duty cycle however, I used the hell out of it and the overheating lamp never came on

[@virgilmerchant5291]

it looked like it burned a lot of rod fast?

[@lynjames4306]

You will they are 2.5 rods smaller than you 3.2 and I would only use the 2.5 and Good Quality which will be Easy striking at the Beginning of the weld and less of a load on such a small machine ❤😊

[@scantronsgarage]

Yes, I was using a smaller filler rod. A thicker rod would have burned slower

[@battistaverardi1240]

Does this machine weld aluminum?

[@scantronsgarage]

Yes but it wont be pretty. You need an A/C welder to make it look good

[@larrymorris6896]

@@scantronsgarage I've never seen anyone who could make aluminum rods welds look good. If you want good looking aluminum welds use a mig or better still a tig.

[@scantronsgarage]

@@larrymorris6896 very true

[@RafaelJimenez-hz9gu]

Hello will this tool work on aluminum?

[@scantronsgarage]

Yes it will....however it will result in an ugly weld. TIG welding aluminum will yield much neater and stronger welds. But this will work in a pinch
