- We try out and review Harbor Freights Titanium 225 Inverter Stick Arc Welder. We really like the performance portability and especially the ease of striking an arc with this DC Inverter welder. If like me, you have ever struggled to get an arc struck and keep it going with an old AC buzz box this might be what you are looking for. It definitely makes my welding look better than I am. This welder is going to be the right tool for me to improve my welding and learn on as I progress with this new skill. For $259 on the ITC you really can't go wrong IMO. YMMV!
Good job with the video. I had a similar Craftsman transformer welder I was given by a cousin after I sold my Lincoln Ranger 8. When it died and I bought my Titanium 225t, I cut the welding cables off the Craftsman, put DINSE25 connectors (male on one end, female on the other) to make extension welding cables. That doubled the length of my welding leads which is very handy. Note that the duty cycle for the 225 is 100% @ 100 amp on 240V and 100% @ 45A for 120V. Graphing the points for each voltage on the duty cycle data in the manual results in a useful picture of the duty cycle envelope. I've only had my 225 for a few days, but my experience with it has been good. It''s a lot of welder for a reasonable price, especially when it's on a 25% off sale which mine was. I much prefer DC for stick welding. Over the years I've used mostly 7014 and 6013. I built an arena fence using drill tube and sucker rod which was all welded with 7018 using the Ranger 8 I had back then.
@@fitch8363 awesome! Thank you for watching and sharing your experience! Yes, this welder is now my go to for stick welding. I am just a hobbyist welder but love learning the process, for me the Harbor Freight welders make that possible. Have a great day and be safe!
The dual voltage capability makes it very versatile
@@mikeingeorgia1 thanks for watching and commenting. Yes it does. It welds surprisingly well on 120v and welds great on 220v. Have a great day and be safe!
Nice video
Thanks for watching and your comment. Appreciate it, have a great day and be safe!
