HITBOXMultifuctional MIG Welding Machine -200A with Color LCD Display IGBT Inverter MIG MMA Lift TIG Stick Gas Mix Gases Gasless Flux Cored Wire Solid Core Wire MIG Welder (MT2000II)

Bought this on the advice of a Youtube friend. Vwcoco,who'd reviewed it on his channel.It's not for blasting mega amps into think plate steel but,works perfectly fine at what it's made to do! Brilliant for car body work and thin steel,even though I've used on 2mm steel with no problems what so ever. Torch has a nice and positive feel to it. The £60 gift card off the selling price sealed the deal for me. If you're looking for a welder that is light and boy is it light compared to my older transformer stuff,that doesn't blow holes through light steel all the time. I'd recommend this

My choosing, selecting, testing, and really great results at the end of the day, after searching for my Dream Welding Machine (DWM) in so many proposals and promotional jungles.THE PURPOSES:Alteration of the Standard retail sales equipment; Development of the Bespoke retail equipment (MS steel 0.8-1.5 mm, rarely 4-6 mm; SS 0.5-1.2 mm);Developing and building up customized tools and devices (Steel: 10-20 mm)tor the production of the different Stands and Displays for the Retail Sales Points, andMany other different, and casually needs.THE CRITERIA:Able to use at any site, away from my workshop, having the simple Single phase power supply;Capacity, not less than 200 Amps, with average duty cycle, about 60% or greater.Equipped by MMA, MIG, and TIG options, at least DC, because of AC/DC will come too expensive;Able to provide definitely nice and durable welding seam, acceptable even on the visible surface of the Retail equipment.At the same time, along with so wide and high expectations of the technical criteria and capacities, Investment in that should be in the range of the Economy Class.RESULTS:After purchasing all of the accompanied things and devices, e.g. Argon and Mixture cylinders, Gas regulators, Grinders, Cutting and Bending devices and so many other small things, the needful to be able to start our new business direction described above, finally I was ready to test My New Adult Boy Toy – HITBOX MIG 200 AMy goal was to achieve for experienced welders very well-known lovely MIG song testifying to the well-balanced values of the Ampere, Voltage, and Wire-feed. It should sound like a cicada’s song.Not a rude, not an intermittent, at the same time not hissing when you seeing just a melted metal in the wide welding pool. My goal was to achieve that typical nice MIG song.IT'S DONE (!)The next will be just a routine hand experience relevant to the Gas consumption, length of the welding wire out of the MIG torch (the distance), movement and and variable angles of the MIG torch, depending on the needs for the deep on shallow penetration, depending on to the welded materials, especially if the different thicknesses of them.SATISFACTION.At the moment I'm so satisfied with the results achieved with the HITBOX 200 MIG option, especially with the fantastic Synergic Feature, allowed to simply increase or decrease the power of the welding, by the Amperage adjustment only, due to Voltage will follow to your once adjusted balance between them.By the 2 hours’ exercises, I have achieved really wide ranges of the welding seam, able to penetrate THROUGH (!!!) 4 mm plaint MS detail placed on the welding table (A/V 130/19.4) and just by the reducing amperage (voltage comes down automatically) to weld 0.5 mm pieces of small MS sheets not only by the fixing spots but even by the nonstop seem. (A/V 80/16.5 | 60/15.6 | 50/15.2 | 40/14.8)RECOMMENDATION for the UNITWELD team:Simple Setup chart should be available e.g. in the machine spool cover, to avoid the upset of the beginners, and make the life easier for any welder, owner of their DWM (decoding of abbreviation see above)MY PERSONAL EVALUATIONof the HITBOX MIG 200 a (MIG device):IT IS AWESOME, WELL DONE AND COMPLETELY MEET MY EXPECTATIONSTherefore, I RECOMMEND CHOOSING THIS MODEL if your targets and purposes are more or less similar to my criteria, described above.***********************About the TIG device:I’ll give my feedback a bit later on.I should adjust the Gas inlet connection for that.Meanwhile, the first impression I already can say:So, if you carefully read the description and compare it with the proposal of the HITBOX MIG 200 A, you will recognize the TIG as an option, only, but this particular device is NOT INCLUDED in the package that I got in my hands :(However, after a short written interaction with UNITWELD Team, by the efforts from Mrs. Cynthia, particularly, finally I get the TIG torch as well, as a promotional option, just it took time. Now I should solve the Gas inlet connection with an existing connection in the original version.Therefore, Guys, see you soon, after I will test that one.I really hope that I'll be the same nice surprised for the TIG capability as well.BR Valdis (UAQ)

My review is for the new MIG200II, pictured. Shipment was on time, very well packaged, arrived complete and undamaged. The majority of reviews here are for an earlier version of the welder. HITBOX does a terrible job of promoting this excellent welder, there are no YouTube reviews and HITBOX's own promotions/descriptions are worthless.The welder, excellent! The display, delicious! The controls, perfect!I've used it on 120V and 240V and only used flux core wire thus far. Very smooth welds, very easy (logical) to setup and control. Memory settings are great, the spot welding function is fantastic and can be adjusted. Besides the front panel controls, it can be put into a mode to set/adjust many lower level settings, very well though out. The manual is the usual Chinese sub minimalist effort but has sufficient useful info after the tenth reading and some mind melding with the welder.To be frank, I had been considering another brand (YES...) with tons of reviews and videos until I stumbled on many features HITBOX doesn't even mention. Calmed my concerns about quality by reviewing videos and writeups on earlier versions. I believe HITBOX make a good reliable product but are terrible at promoting and how/why they are better. I have not need support thus far but I would not expect much in this area, however and unexpectedly, the manual actually lists replacement parts/components!I would not hesitate to recommend this welder for home use or a small shop but please keep in mind I've only used the welder for a week and can't vouch for durability. Given the time and funds I will update my review when I try gasless MIG and TIG.

Welding on my ford transit

I'm not a professional welder, only have about ~8hrs of torch time welding around the house, yard.Have only tried this machine for flux-core MIG (FCAW) for now.Welds in the pictures are on 11gauge steel. Had the machine on 145A, 16-17V.Machine feels well built!All-metal feed roller mechanism, decent connectors, MIG torch feels solid, even the side cover is thick enough to feel sturdy, unlike some other low-cost machines.Setup was relatively easy, used a Miller welding chart to get starting values for Amps & Volts based on the metal I was welding. Adjusted the settings from there. See images for some of the welds after about 1/2hr of messing around.Pros:- Well built- Cost- Easy polarity swap- Compact- Decent welds, especially given lack of experienceCons (or more precisely things that could be improved):- Setting chart on the inside cover. Other reviewers have stated it already.- Manual could be improved, it covers a wide range of machines of different series but doesn't go into enough detail.- Wire feed adjustment. I understand that the machine automatically adjusts wire feed speed based on amperage setting but it would be nice to have manual override.Not sure what's up with the sales ad for this machine, a burly, 1/2naked guy arc-welding.If that's supposed to be "this machine will put hair on your chest" I'm guessing it will do the opposite :)
