- Out with the OLD...and in with the NEW!
Autumn's old fluxcore Hobart welder finally gets a well-earned retirement, and the Harbor Freight OmniPro 220 takes it's place. This model is a multiprocess Stick/MIG/TIG, 120v/240V. In this video, we unbox the new welder, test out the wirefeed welding, then it gets put to work!

There's a Vulcan 220 coupon valid until December of 2020 for 869.00. It's not my business what you paid but the regular price is 999.00. They will refund the difference if you paid that. There is also another coupon for Vulcan accessories that's 20% off that never expires. I use the never expire accessory one to get the 10lb electrodes for a little over 20.00. If you are not using the stick it still helps on contact tips for the mig gun. I bought mine in early August and really like it.
That'll be super handy! Hopefully others can use it as well. Thanks for sharing! 🤘
For those that can’t find it. The Vulcan 220 code is 16295108
The Vulcan accessory 20% code is
20111338 that’s for helmets, gloves, wire, electrodes, foot pedals, tips and torches.
@@DXT61 thank you !!!
Your welcome
@@DXT61 thanks
I have had this unit hooked up to 220 over 2 years and I love it!!
That's great to hear!! 🤘 I'm excited to test it out on 220 one day.
I have been welding for over 35 years and just got rid of a miller full production tig welder and mig the same to monster welders and went with what you did because its a hobby and not doing it for a living no more. I bought a spool gun and tig gun to but not sure with the touch tig as far as a scratch start could be just me but i bought a foot pedal today, i love the size of this unit and what it can do. I all so bought the biggest cart from harbor freight and i can tell you it is very nice and can carry everything for welding all. I had a cracked truck rim and used the aluminum spool gun wow just great because could not find that size rim. So all i can say is extremely happy with vulcan welder and it has that new car smell hahaha, ps i don't like the way my mig cone comes off but will modifie if have to, have not had time to investigate that yet.
That's awesome!! Glad you are enjoying it and getting stuff done! 🤘
Got this one a few weeks ago myself. Been wanting to get into welding since...forever...due to a lot of projects around the farm that would be much cheaper to fix than replace. Still working on getting a decent bead, but I'm sure that's more due to lack of practice since my buddy (who has years of experience) was able to lay dimes immediately. Back to the shop I go!
That's great!! The auto-set feature should definitely help. Happy welding! 😁🤘
I had my Omnipro 220 for 3 years and Love it. Going to learn running a spool gun ...
Awesome!! 🙌
My titanium ultimate 200. Worked great for 2 years of moderate light use. Turned on last night and it puffed a ton of white smoke out the front. 2 weeks before my 100$ 2 year warranty expires.
Whew, that was close!!
Been looking for a while this is the one I’m buying, time and time again this one for the money wins.
Awesome! Hope it goes well. Highly recommend the extended warranty when you get it
Thanks for the video and helping me move forward on purchasing!
Glad you enjoyed it and hope you love your new welder! 🤘 I'm still very happy with mine.
As a former welder, the Vulcan line is all I would even consider. I think u made the better choice.
That's good to hear! I'm still loving this machine 🙌
Just like lots of other people, I read countless reviews and decided to dive in on a 220 that was 50% off at a HFT parking lot sale. Picked up that welder for $350 and still welding strong.
Awesome! 🤘 How long have you had it?
Wrench & Chill coming up on a year.
Dang, thats a good deal!
Nice job. I hope yall show off how well the tig and stick works.
ESP plans provide 1 and 2 years of product protection on eligible products after the manufacturer's warranty ends. ESP plans can be purchased at your local Harbor Freight Tools store within 30 days of the eligible product's purchase date
That's right! I opted to purchase the 2-year extended warranty with my welder.
@@WrenchChill Again, wise choice.
Congrats Autumn! Nice looking machine
Thanks Jess! I'm loving it 😎
OK not bad for a welding machine from Harbor freight good review can’t complain at all ✌️👍
It's still doing great!! Awesome little machine 👌🙂
“Did I get any stickers…” 😂
Just...wow.
Outstanding
It's a pretty sweet little machine! 🙂
I just bought mine today! Looking forward to the upgrade from my tombstone stick welder that doesn't work properly.
Heck ya! 🤘 I'm definitely interested to hear how the stick process goes for you using this machine.
@@WrenchChill it will take some time to figure out the settings, but I did a few welds and it was significantly easier, faster and better looking welds. I had virtually no issues with the stick sticking to the metal.
I am no overly impressed with the preset menu, it is kinda confusing and not intuitive. For 1/8" rod, only presets are for 10gauge, 3/16", 1/4" and 5/16" metal thickness. I wish that it had come with a cover for the spool gun outlet and for the gas line input, to keep dust and stuff out for those of us who are not using those features.
Good to know, thank you! Were you using it on 120v or 240v?
In the mig process, I also found that the auto-set feature wouldn't let me override their "max" or "min" material thickness. Kind of a bummer, but I was able to manually adjust the amps as needed to get around the preset ⚡
@@WrenchChill I was using 240 volts. I never even thought to try 120, as my old welder could only use 240.
Very good video with wonderful information
Thank you! 😊
Once you hook up 220 you will never go back but nice option to have. Good luck 👍
Cant wait! Thanks, you too 🙂
@Wrench & Chill Might actually be able to hook up 220 rather easily...depending on what's there. It's really not hard. If you wanted some info/consultation lemme know. I can be reached by email on my Channel About page.
I bought one today but it handle was broken right out of the box took it back they didn't have another one so I don't know I might do something else I like your work
Oh no, what a bummer! Thank you!
have you guys done a tig set up yet .. Im buying my kits this weekend for this machine .. been mig'ing for years, now to learn tig ..
We haven't. I actually ended up finding a used Miller Dynasty to be my designated TIG machine. The Vulcan is still doing wonderfully for MIG though!
Hey how’s the omnipro holding up?are you still using it as your main welder? it’s been 3 years since the video came out wondering how it’s doing. I have the same welder got it 5-6 years ago it has been an excellent welder for my small shop.
not bad welder looks like good welder
It's been great! 🙂
Excellent excellent
Nothing like the feeling of unboxing a brand new welder!
It's the best! 🙌
are those horse shoes aluminum and if so
are you using the spool gun with the omnipro to weld them
The horseshoes are steel actually! I have not had the chance to try the spool gun on this machine yet.
@@WrenchChill thanx for the info
How often do you maintain your box
The proper maintenance schedule for the Vulcan can be found in the owners manual. There is a free pdf version available online 👍
Did you run those welds on 120 or 240?
Everything is welded on 120V 🙂 This shop isn't wired for 240V, unfortunately.
That's good to know! Same here thanks.
@@WrenchChill you can make a 220v or 240v by splicing 2-110v or 2- 120v into a single plug for your welder.
There's many videos on how to do so
im looking at it ...
I'm still loving it! 🙂
The omnipro 220 does not come with any wire. I just bought one and am very happy with it so far
Glad you are enjoying it! :)
just no tig for aluminum, without spool gun 😢
Correct...we will use mostly DC TIG in our shop, so this was a good fit for us. When we get into more aluminum, we plan to upgrade to a dedicated TIG machine.
whos it doing now after an extended time
It's doing great! I actually just used it to weld in two new floorpans and frame rails in my 260Z. The trigger got finnicky on me once after not being used for a few months, but that went away 🙌
@@WrenchChill good to hear I just bough one yesterday, had a coupon for 100.00 off
warranty is now 189.00 for 2 years. Didnt like that but I got it just in case
Thanx for the vid and the info
@@colencasey7761 Awesome! Hope it goes well for you! 🤘
Mine just went up in smoke today ...sad day
Dang it! Did you get the extended warranty? How long did you have it?
@@WrenchChill nope I'm currently tearing it down as we speak ....I'll try to upload some videos..... warning...never use a extension cord with that thing...(hopefully I can ship it back to the states or get parts or some crap .... so bummed out now )
I've had it for like 3 years ....it's a good machine (dono why it failed on me today tho 😬😞, I actually liked the thing )
Oh no!! I've heard rumors about problems arising from using extension cords with welders, so thank you for sharing. 3 years was a good run though! Hope you get it all fixed up for more years 🙏
@@WrenchChill yep , no problem ....I have a video up with mine took apart ..... hopefully I find the part stocked somewhere ......thinking of grabbing a cheap titanium welder till then
Looked at this today. Knobs felt like total cheap garbage.
The knobs on my welder have held up great, but more importantly, the welds have been awesome!
Why would we care if you burn your arms and other bits when you’re not wearing the proper welding attire? Kinda like when women insist on wearing low cut tops to the shooting range and scream and bounce around when hot brass takes a bad hop off the shooting stall and falls in between their “ta-ta’s”, LOL
Ur skin will burn
No burns this time! We were so excited to test it out for this video, we didn't grab our long sleeves 🤦♀️🤣
Did u use it with 120v or 240v
Real smart welding with no sleeves 🤡
