    • Great product, powerful for all you need
Style: Welder
I just weld DIY and at a shop, and it has been a fantastic welder. Goes up to 1/2in on 220v, and 80 on 110v. Welds what I need it to. Have a professional trailer welder at my shop who has a miller and engine driven trailblazer and he prefers to use my forney 180st so he doesn’t have to run his engine driven welder and it’s lightweight and easy to use. I would recommend if you don’t have 220v getting another adapter for a generator (if you have one) the circular plug in not sure of the name. Only problem was not with the machine just on my end I didn’t have correct breaker so I kept shutting the power off at 80amps with 110v so just make sure you have all the right electrical or generator when you wanna run higher amps. Other than that the machine is great! Looking at getting the forney 410 220 mp welder someday! Forney has excellent welders! ... show more

    • good customer service and machine
Style: Welder
I have been a certified API 1104 welder for couple of decades and this machine is impressive. On the 120v setting I ran 3/32" and 1/8" 6011,6010,7014 and 7018 rods with good visual welds and penetration on 1/4" dirty steel. Shopped around and read up on all the 120/240 welders for 3 days. Forney is the one who responded to e mails and answered phone. So I gave them my business. Highly recommend! ... show more

This welder so far has been working very well @ 120 & 240 v but overall happy with the result's as long you stay within material thickness suggested.

    • Great little welder
Style: Welder
Great little welder only used it at 110 voltage as I need a extension cord for higher voltage. Even at 110 it has good penetration and is easy to use.

Didn't know what to expect. Being a cheap DC welder, I had my expectations set very low. Let me tell you, this is an amazing little machine. Its not as nice as some of the brand name welders for 10x the price. But I was welding 3/16 steel with 3/16 7018 turned all the way up (3/16 rod is a little much for this guy to be honest) and it did the entire inside of the box 34"x36"x6" for my fuel tank. Never skipped a beat, never hit the thermal protection. I did give it plenty of time to keep cool though. Burned 4 rods back to back at a time. The fan is a little noisy, and never shuts off. But the thing is amazingly light. Now all this was done on 220. I have a small wire feed for any 110 projects I may need to do. With smaller rod this has no issue blowing holes through the 3/16 plate (screwing around)! ... show more

    • One amazing welder
Style: Welder
I read the reviews on this welder and thought they can't be true for something that only weighs 17 pounds. Mine weighs 70 pounds. But since my welder wasn't working like it should, I thought i would try it. I am amazed at how good it welds. I used 6013 rods on 3/4 pipe. It never sputtered one time and it stuck the weld two times until I got it set right. After that I never had a problem. I'm always needing to weld something away from the barn. Now with a generator i can weld anywhere. I am absolutely thrilled with this welder. I haven't tried it on 110 v yet so I can't comment on that. I suppose if you needed to weld a lot because of the cycle there might be a problem. I never had a problem welding for 10 minutes. Absolutely amazing ... show more

    • Simple to operate
Style: Welder
My experience lies in MIG welding: starting stick welding is a challenge. Simple to use, easy to set up. Could also be used as a TIG welder. Works as intended!!
