  The duty cycle on this is appalling.
  The minimum you want is around 40% and at this level I would still only recommend it for diy use.
  For those that don't know how the duty cycle works….
  = 135A @ 20% this means you can use it for 2 mins out of every 10 mins. USELESS!

    Weld on time is normally quite low for manual process, especially stick welding. Yiu have to weld, grind, clean, change electrodes etc

  Well for someone thats just wanting home use I dont think 40% duty cycle is really needed? That figure is really something youd look for if you were using it everyday I think. Far from USELESS also… Think about a DIYer in his garage making some brackets and welding some pipes up? Show me an example of a welder thats got 40% duty cycle but also at a price point for the home user. Thanks

  I'm not sure who would find this welder useful. I wouldn't recommend it for a beginner - with no gas it will be hard to do a good job, and a competent welder wouldn't touch it.

  As with most tools if you intend to use it more than once get the best you can afford - not the cheapest available. Quality brands for Mig/Tig welders are Unimig and Lincoln.

  Even some of the 10A plug ebay cheapies are probably as good or better than this. CIGWELD are a ripoff for what they are.

  It's worth looking around.
