Hello Steve, I'm retired from an auto manufacturing facility in the US. I worked in the Body Weld division for 25 years. We used spot welders for almost the entire vehicle. Usually the weld tips are opposing each other with the material to be welded between them. I'm wondering what result you could get if you did the same? (The resistance would be concentrated between the tips causing a hot spot forming a weld)
Hi Tim, Thanks, I think this one is for making up battery packs. I have seen the ones you would have used in the auto trade. I think they are a lot more powerful as well. Regards Steve
That would make it easier to make a battery pack for the drill Bosh no longer makes a battery pack for. Two packs into one workable. Could not find the item to see cost.
Hi, not really. It's specifically for battery pack building. It delvers a very short duration current pulse and has nothing like the capability of a conventional car body type spot welder.
RUclips is full of videos on how to build a spot-welder for batteries. This makes them all obsolete. Why faff around with dangerous voltages when you can get this so cheaply?
Maybe because I have no interest in making one. I would rather do other interesting things than waste time in making one. This one does the job, so it's fine. I don't want to faff about making one, when I don't need to. Regards Steve

Hello Steve,
Sorry, I have been on the the missing list, hopefully I am back for good... Interesting product, thank you.
Take care.
Paul,,
That's an interesting tool Steve. I guess only for very thin materials? Thanks for sharing and the detailed review. Cheers Nobby
is it electrical shock when touching the ring?
Pity you didn’t give the washers a good ull to show how well they were attached. Any idea what the numbers on the display are showing?

Great piece of kit! Thanks for sharing and have a fantastic weekend.

please make sure your hands are NOT in contact with the exposed metal on the handle/rods, if you slip. it WILL kill you.
Hi Steve, is that UK adapter fused?
刘木头LiuMutou Channel uses one for model making.
Is that all it does? Can you spot weld other metals together? How thick do they need to be?

@@bobuk5722 Thanks for the info.
Link didn't work Steve
I will look into it
Sorted Now

Hi, Sorry, I misread it due to tiredness. You are dead right about that, Thanks for pointing this out. Best Regards Steve
This unit is the worst quality ever. To confirm hat i said look inside the spot welder.
