Is the Cheapest Mini Flux Core (gasless) welder I can find any good? Bestarc MIG145 Review and test

GeLINKS HERE!!
Today I test the Bestarc MIG145 Generation 7 (the least expensive version) and compare it to the Titanium Flux 125 and the Century FC90 that we tested in an earlier video.
These links help support this channel:

Boy, if everything was in FOCUS.... this would be amazing!

Changing polarity makes you able to weld stainless steel with the flux core process.
Just check the polarity on stainless flux core wires.
You need to change from ground positive to ground negative.
Changing polarity changes the amount of electrical force into the gun ore the workpiece.
You always have to make sure, you read and follow the instructions of the welding wire factory.
Otherwise you might think, the product doesn`t work well and it isn`t your fault......
Just my two cents.
Your videos are good and a great help to beginners.
Greetings.

These small welders can't run the stainless wire. I've tried, but they just won't run hot enough for it.

​@@DeathTollRacing I don`t say, you are wrong. With my little 130 Amp flux core machine and "EG308L T0-3" wire, i can weld barely 4mm stainless steel.
I`d say, 3mm is more on the safe side.
You need to run a lot of amps. I give that to you.
But if you have to do it all the time, you might sell your little machine and switch to a 180 amp flux core welder. It`s 300 Dollars.
You don`t need the best machine, because you don`t run blue flames for long. So you don`t have to care about duty cycle.
To me, running a "side hustle" business at the weekends out of a little car trailer and beeing able to work outside in the field at any working conditions is worth it.
Sport boat guys always want stuff out of stainless steel.
I have to work in all weather conditions and my workshop is a foldable pavillon. It`s a tent and i place it, where the work is.
So the flux core process was a game changer to me. I take a lot of time to learn it, because it helps me out there in the field.
There are positives and negatives to any aspect in any field.
I`ve had to buy 8 welding helmets to get the right one for me. Unboxing videos won`t help your eyes....
I`ve spent a lot of money into my shop, before i`ve realized, it`s much easier to work at the customers place. Fireball tools are better, than the best welding table out there.
Everything is a learning curve and there is no right, or wrong.
Thanks for your Videos.
Mike

I think if you’d have given points for color, this welder could have won by leaps and bounds.

True!
