Oh what the heck I ordered a scarf and got a laser welder! Thanks Darin!! Hilarious episode, reminds me of the time I ordered a wool anorak off a Facebook ad and got some pantyhose. At least my legs look nice now.
Thank you for this video. I was seriously tempted to order one of these welders for £35. But for once, I thought Id do my research and yours was the only video on this subject. You saved me a few quid. Did you complain to Facebook and try to get a refund?
Thanks for your comment! I was pretty sure I wasn't going to get anything like a laser welder and the purchase was really just to make a video on whatever did arrive so I wasn't prepared to complain. It was very clearly too good to be true ;)
So i have seen many videos where they question the strength of a laser weld. So i wonder what if you layed a 7018 stick at the joint to be welded , would it be a better weld
What do you recommend for a first time welder who wants to weld steel (bed frames), stainless steel, mostly for fun builds like go carts or snow plow attachments.
Thanks for your question! I would go with an entry level mig welder from a reputable brand. You could go even cheaper and just buy a welder that is strictly wire feed (no gas) but I don't recommend it as they're often low quality machines to begin with and, although flux core welds are strong, they are also messy. Stainless will require tri-mix gas (so, a separate cylinder from the gas you use for carbon steel) if you want the welds to be shielded properly. Start with flux core wire in a cheap mig welder and move to gas once you're comfortable and have the funds.
I ordered the pallet of DeWalt tools for $80.00. I got a small 4" x 6"x 2" box of cheap colorful screwdrivers with a note saying the tools can be changed at shippers discretion, but I can send them back to China for a 10% refund.🙄
I ordered a set of dog steps for my elderly dog at a fair price on Facebook Marketplace. What I received was a 1/10 size model. I won't order ANYTHING off Facebook Marketplace ever in the future.

Ah the Facebook Market place surprise grab bag - what will you get? Thanks for watching :)
HAHHAHHAHA that funny, I needed a good laugh!
Clickbait the video is a complete waste of time
Thanks for watching!
😂 you didn’t read the “or” part lol
I personally think it gives everyone else a heads up, why not to buy from those FB Marketplace or even RUclips Ads, and that itself is priceless!
Thank you for wasting your money for us. Im so sorry you had to deal with this!
You're more than welcome :) It was fun to see what would arrive and make a video on it so I wasn't upset.
Thank you ! Your video is the only relevant one I managed to find. You saved my money and my mind peace. Thank you again !
Cheers! ...I'm a bit late with my response to say the least, thanks for watching!
Truth is dozens/100s of people fall for this shit everday. This guy is saving them 1000s, lets hope they remember to thank him
Cheers!

Welds look so damn clean! Forget the bickering. Those welds are buttery
That's abou6min out of my life that I'll never get back.
Thanks for your view, im glad you enjoyed it ;)
@@BalmersWorkshop this video was almost as much of a waste as the purchase it shows
get to the point too bad there's no 'block' option on YT

Thanks for your video as they say if its too good to be true then it is. I was hoping it would have been but £35 for something that cost £6000?
Thanks very much! ...I'm a bit late with my response to say the least, thanks for watching!
It’s a common scam. They send you some random cheap item so they have a proof of delivery. They sent me a cheap plastic harmonica 🤷🏼♂️
I know someone that ordered a $65 garden shed and got a pair of sunglasses. Yep apparent polarized sunglasses straight from China
Wow, the scams never cease to amaze! Thanks for sharing :)
Can you not call your credit card company and claim the payment as fraud?
I'm sure I could but I didn't expect a welder anyway... it made for a fun video.

Ha! That's another good story - better than mine to be honest!
Guess it feels about the same as watching this video... Probably with a bit more utility...
I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Thanks. Disappointing but fun. Happy snowboarding.
Thanks for watching!

I heard the exact same story about a dresser someone ordered - it showed up in doll house scale :P Thanks for sharing your story!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I would have lost it, bad !
You are welcome!
It's time people took action against Facebook for these sponsored adverts! Grrrrr
They'll claim it's lost in translation and laser welder is chinese for scarf 😅
Good point!
Much love from Colorado

I ordered 1 and I got a rock instead a blanket.
Our Chinese Friends 🤣🤣🤣
With the time you wasted from us, you can use your RUclips revenue to buy a laser welder.
Will do.
Yea Well, I'm not to bright, I watched until the end . . .
thanks for this video man,im about to give them my hard earned money,😅
Cheers! ...I'm a bit late with my response to say the least, thanks for watching!

LOL! That was great!
Thanks very much!

Waste of my time... you deserve your blanket
Its not a blanket, its a scarf. You should watch the video again... you deserve it.
Clickbait waste of time
Expensive scarf! 😆
But soooo soft... it doesn't weld well though ;)

Waste of time.
Buying a lazer welder on marketplace? Yes, it certainly is.
