  • High / Low Welding Range
  • Adjustable Wire Speed
  • Thermal Overload Protection
  • Welding Wire Included
  • Standard 10Amp Plug

This Gasless MIG Welder is perfect for creating clean welds on thin or thick materials such as trailers, gates, steel sections, car panels and general fabrication.

A flux-cored (gasless) wire is used with this welder in order to protect your welds without the need of additional gases. The carrying strap and absence of gas cylinder allows you to easily move the welder around.

The MIG welder features Thermal Overload Protection to protect the welder from overheating. The included 0.2kg welding wire spool, hand-held welding mask and wire brush / chipping hammer allows you to start using this welder straight out of the box.

    Competing against the ALDI upcoming one?

  • migginandtiggin on 31/07/2021 - 14:22

    yes i think

  • whitelie on 31/07/2021 - 14:26

    Usually $199 according to Price Hipster for anyone wondering

    Edit - beaten too it!

  • jimojr on 31/07/2021 - 14:26

    Bought one this, it has a 15 amp plug I couldn't use it at home.

      There are still options. Most welders have multiple power settings, often cheap welders use one or two switches to select the power level. If you only use the lower power levels, a domestic power point may be able to supply enough power.

      But I don't recommend changing the 15A plug to a 10A plug, you need some extra protection.

      Jaycar sells a 10A-to-15A adapter with a built-in RCD and 10A circuit breaker, which you can use without changing the welder's plug. It has a 10A mains plug and a 15A socket. From Jaycar's description, "Features a 10A circuit breaker/RCD in case you accidentally overload the device."

      It costs $80, but I reckon you'll lose that much when you try to sell your welder second-hand.

        Thanks, it is cheaper than call a electrician to change the power outlet.

          Yep. Electricians charge far too much for bread and butter work.
          Just encourages unqualified DIY work.

        10A-to-15A adapter with a built-in RCD and 10A circuit breaker

        there's not a lot of point in these. Domestic circuits already have breakers matched to the capacity of the circuits.
        The only reason for limiting appliances to 10A is so they can share the circuit.
        … though I suppose if it had a 10A plug, some idiot would put it on a 10A extension lead, with the excess coiled.

        • Russ on 31/07/2021 - 18:31

          The only reason for limiting appliances to 10A is so they can share the circuit.

          Not quite. The GPO itself has a 10A rating per socket, and it's important.

          If you boil a jug rated at 2400W, and pull the plug out just after it has boiled, you'll find the pins of the power plug are quite warm or even hot. That's at 10A. If the appliance drew 15A, then the amount of heat generated would be 2.25 times as much - quite possibly hot enough to melt or deform the plastic of the GPO.

          Note that most of this heat is generated in the GPO contacts, which are considerably thinner (i.e. higher resistance) than the metal of the plug pins. I can only assume that 15A plugs have thicker contacts, or maybe two sets of contacts, because the active+neutral pins of 15A plugs appear identical to 10A plugs (or at least they did before the pins became plastic coated).

          … though I suppose if it had a 10A plug, some idiot would put it on a 10A extension lead, with the excess coiled.

          You're not wrong there, and not just idiots. I would say the majority of the population don't know why extension cords are supposed to be fully unwound during use, and perhaps half didn't even read the warning tag on the extension cord.

          Totally agree with this, Jaycar device is a complete rip off. Lets face it. Most domestic powerpoints have 16A RCD's.

          • Russ on 31/07/2021 - 18:49

            @tunzafun001:

            Jaycar device is a complete rip off

            Yeah, I know, it's got maybe $25-$30 of parts at retail cost. But that's the price you pay in Australia for getting something made. Perhaps they need to pay for extra insurance, in case someone gets electrocuted.

    FYI it does state this one has 10amp plug so good for home use .

    I would mostly say that any welder is better than no welder. But a 90A Mig is pretty useless - you can't weld much over 2mm thick steel, and the duty cycle on this thing is so low (10%@90Amps) that you won't even be able to do 90A for long before it shuts itself down in protest.

    • ozturtle on 31/07/2021 - 15:44

      This.

      Wait for the 135A cigweld deals.

      • Russ on 31/07/2021 - 16:22

        135A cigweld

        But don't all welders at that power level have 15A plugs?

          • Russ on 31/07/2021 - 16:29

            @ozturtle: Impressive. Thanks!

            Do you think $50 auto-darkening helmets, from Ebay, are worth having?

            Edit: about $35 with the current ebay deals, like this one:

              @Russ: That one is not very good. I used it in the workshop and it only lasted for 7 or 8 months. This is much better quality.

              • Russ on 31/07/2021 - 18:39

                @jimojr: And on half-price at the moment too. Worth publishing as a deal?

                • jimojr on 31/07/2021 - 19:15

                  @Russ: You can post it if you want.

          • Ok computer on 31/07/2021 - 20:05

            @ozturtle: yeh, I picked up recently for $208.08 from Super Cheap

            watched for six months to get that price

            -discounted to $300ish (this seems to be normal price @$315)

            • then stacked with 20% off and bought with AAMI GC at 8%

            if CB is made, then its minus another $15 (this is pending)

            bought $30 ebay auto dim helmet

            @ozturtle: Thanks.
            How do these welders go with aluminum welding?
            And which welding spool do you recommend for aluminium?

    • Price Jack on 31/07/2021 - 16:03

      Agree.
      Good luck welding 'trailers and gates' with this welder. It's basically useless for general purpose use.

    Is this a good welder to start learning on, (if you don't have any welding experience) ??
