MIG-130 Welder

Finally used this welder. Great little set up. I have welded for years but only at work. Bought this for a home set up. It runs fine on my 2800 watt generator. Does not overload it. Makes nice welds. Has plenty of power for what I’d use it for. It really is underrated. It’s a performer. Works really good. It was really a good buy. Easy to set up and use. I have a stick welder also, but prefer the wire feed weld for a lot of jobs. Just what I’m used to I suppose. Buy it you won’t regret the purchase. I wish I had bought this a long time ago. Little welders have come a long ways. This is a gem in hiding.

UPDATE. I HAVE USED THE HELL OUT OF THIS THING AND IT'S REALLY IMPRESSIVE FOR WHAT IT IS.. WELDS BETTER THAN A MILLER 120 VOLT.. Have only tested this but was pretty impressed on how good it welded. It definitely is not gonna take a lot of abuse.. but if you take care of your stuff I imagine it will be around awhile. It welded really nice up to 3/16" so far, I'm sure it will do 1/4.. it's no speed demon but makes mobile welding easy. It's light and easy to use. Lead is cheap but works well. Sounds like just a basic micro switch in the trigger if it every needs replaced.. the sync option seems to work ok and good for ppl who have trouble with adjusting... For the money you can't really complain ... you'll pay for this thing in 1 or 2 jobs.. oh although I haven't tested it yet duty cycle is higher than my fancy name brand transformer welder.... Downside which has nothing to work this product is Amazon doesn't know what they are doing. Shipping... It said be here tomorrow, then it said delayed not shipped, then it said be here by same day by 10pm, then it said now arriving tomorrow, then it said delayed not shipped again... So I tried to cancel and it said can't cancel shipment being prepared.. so I opened chat with Amazon and they said basically they don't know where it is.. "THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE IT IS.... BUT CAN'T CANCEL BECAUSE SHIPMENT IS BEING PREPARED"!!!! WTH? so I ordered another one, plus a bigger welder to try and exact same thing happened with that both those orders... So if you can get one of these to your door... I'm sure you'll be happy with it.... UPDATE.... I FORGOT TO ADD... PACKING NEEDS TO BE BETTER... WHEN MINE FINALLY ARRIVED THE POWER CORD WHERE THE GROMMET IS GOING INTO THE WELDER WAS SMASHED THROUGH THE BOX AND STICKING OUT ... NOT DAMAGED BUT PACKING IS NOT GOOD FOR THIS ITEM...

Item was exactly what I expected. Worked great. Instructions were perfectly easily to follow. Something to keep in mind is the flux is thin so if you're looking for a thicker weld or a thicker flux this would not be the item for you.

Quality and Value; the welder itself is a little beast I rate it 5 stars. I'm very impressed what you can do with this little beast. 3/16 no problem at all it runs hot, great penetration 22 gauge welds as nice as you could ask for. Price... no way can you go wrong at this price. I ran the wire that comes with the package, even that worked decent. A better grade wire would be a step up in creatIng cleaner welds. Mig gun is bottom line quality but works. I ran perfect beads with it. Ground clamp will need replacement. ( but it works ok out of the box ) Handy, you can slide under the truck and weld away. It's small, lite,easy to move around. The accessory package that comes with this welder will need an upgrade. That's why I gave a 4 star review. Longevity, we'll see?

Well, my little flux core welder finally died after a dozen years or so and I had to replace it, and I decided to get this one. This little welder is absolutely fantastic! I have burned about half a spool so far but it does really good for a 110 flux core welder. I am truly surprised at the welds this thing puts down, not just for me, 30 years experience, but my son who has about 15 minutes experience. I will be getting a 175 aluminum from these guys as well this afternoon. I love this little guy. And under 10 lbs with spool installed. Also, these welds are coming from a power inverter in my work truck, but that is pretty much irrelevant because it's a 3k watt .. but It definitely makes for an easy portable welding solution.

This small staff works amazingly! The price is great, the shipping was fast, and the machine is really nice! My first project was to take out broken bolts. It was easy peasy!

UPDATE ONE YEAR. Still a A+ purchase, and just noticed its down to $75 (i paid $110) My favorite tool in my garage. ..................OP. Needed a welder just for small household tasks. The base broke on my shop chair so finally rationalized it to my wife. I'm embarrassed to post this pic of my first weld, but in my defense, I didn't even practice. Got a spark on a piece of scrap and couldn't stop myself from going at the chair. While ugly it worked. One piece of advice, which I would have realized if i had practiced more than 30 seconds, is to start with just single tack welds. Once i tried this (on the other side of the chair base) the results were much better. Yes the accessories were junk, but im a cheapskate, and if i was willing to buy a $40 mask, i wouldn't have been looking at a $100 welder. A hacksaw, an old strap and some hot glue turned the mask wearable. The brush is actually a bigger disappointment, you could drive a truck between the bristles. Dollar tree has a better 4 pack for $1.25. and the included wire was great to have, im 80% confident i would have ordered the wrong wire if it was separate. Very pleased with the purchase, based solely on the purchase price, not my initial weld. update: after reading up, and at least one reviewer of this machine saying you should switch polarity, i tried it, and it didn't work. For whatever reason, the wire feed motor does not work if you switch the polarity, at least on mine. it runs for about a second then stops. tried twice. UPDATE: After 2 months im still very happy with this welder. It has become my favorite tool. I did break down and get an auto helmet and it really improved my welds. One thing for newbies like me, I didn't understand how important the ground was, i know this is welding 101 for pros, but most of the stuff i work on is painted, so establishing a good ground is huge. I got the $70 welding table off amazon and also made a magnet ground for the table to simplify things (90% of my welds are small stuff on the table) and use a dremel to make sure i've got good clean metal at the weld point. Still 5 star, if you're a diy'er and are on the fence, get one.

Great welder for what it is, bought it to do yard stuff and run on a generator when we can’t get in the shop to the other welders. Buy some good wire and it will get the job done.

Works really good I can do nice welding beads with it. was little loose when I got it but other than that no problems.

La maquina esta excelente para su precio, no se soldar y en un dia ya podia hacer tiras de soldadura, esta ideal para quien inicia ya que es mucho mas facil que la de electrodo, los extras no estan tan buenos pero al menos te permiten iniciar hasta adquirir unos mejores. 100% satisfecho

Well worth the money it works great for small an medium jobs

Es la primera vez que sueldo y fue muy fácil, me gustó mucho, la recomiendo.

La soldadora es bastante buena, solda bastante bien. Los accesorios son basura
