    • Very good flux core welder, at a very good price...
This is the best value flux-core welder going right now. I was sceptical after not just one, but two of my friends bought the cheap one from Harbor Freight, both used it one time, and both returned it the same day. Both then bought the Hobart Handler instead. I've been needing a replacement for my old mig machine for quite some time, but just never could afford to spend so much for a decent one. I finally had a little money saved up, and with a lengthy list of projects adding up that require welding I finally started shopping for a mig machine. I can't afford to keep a gas bottle and really have no place to store one if I could so I needed something that could run flux core and runs dc neg. current. I saw many reviews for this welder and though I had been planning on buying the Hobart because I was already familiar with it's performance, I decided to save quite a bit and give this one a try. I don't regret it at all. In fact, it works better than I ever expected. The adjustments are a very nice touch compared to others with only 2 or 4 options for setting the current. This one can be dialed in to the perfect setting allowing great penetration without blowing through. I mostly weld pipe, so for me that was a very important thing to consider. The welder itself is very light at only 19lbs before adding a roll of flux core wire. Seems to be of sturdy construction. The outer case is pretty much the same as my old $600 mig bought off the Snap On truck almost 20 years ago. The torch isn't the best, but certainly more than adequate. I only say that because the lead isn't as thick and protective of the liner and wire inside as other mig welders, but it does have a thick-ish rubber sleeve an is 8 feet long. Tips are easily changed out, the same as any other mig torch. Like I mentioned before, I mostly weld pipe. A lot of exhaust pipes and bike frames, and so far I absolutely love this machine. I took a chance based on all the good reviews and it certainly paid off. I saved almost $200 and feel like I actually got a better welder where it counts. The infinite style adjustments were a big one. The Hobart I was looking at only had 4 settings based on metal thickness. I prefer more of a range to work with. Thickness is only relevant if we all weld exactly the same way at exactly the same speed. While borrowing both of my friends Hobart's for exhaust work I had a hard time because setting it on 2 wasn't giving me the penetration I needed, but 3 would blow through even if I moved fast and cranked up the wire speed to compensate. My welds were not coming out consistent and even breaking soon after I finished. The 140fci does an awesome job. I literally spent 5 minutes puting a roll of wire on and setting it up. The ground clamp is fairly stout and also 8 feet to match the torch length. The quality of the welds I'm getting is way better than I expected. Though I saw many good reviews, not just on here either. There were many on YouTube and other sites as well. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. For someone like me, that just needed to be able to fix things at home without the need to borrow a welder, and maybe even take my bike building hobby to the next level the price and quality are perfect. I feel like I've already saved a lot of money just being able to fabricate the intake manifold and exhaust pipe expansion chamber I've done so far. They weren't just functional but look nice as well, and most importantly, are air tight, no leaks at all. It's easy to use, just choose your current and set wire speed around the same to start, then dial it in to your preferred performance level. I was able to buy this, a decent hood, 2lb roll of wire, and spare tips all for right around 300 dollars. I feel the welder alone is worth that all day. I would highly recommend this to anyone who either welds but doesn't plan to ever use gas, or wants to learn on a quality machine that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Sure, I'd love a nice Miller with all the bells and whistles, who wouldn't? But, I don't use it to make a living, and I can't afford one, so this here was perfect. I can't say enough good things about this welder, and the price just makes it a much sweeter deal. I plan to get a lot of use out of it in the coming weeks finishing up a couple bike builds I currently have going. I'm confident that I will be able to do all my welding and have no problems at all. If that changes, I'll come back and change my review, but I don't think it'll even be an issue. The only thing better than this deal might be the 140mp because then I'd have my arc and mig in one handy machine. While writing this review all I'm thinking about is welding up my latest side project, so I'm going to go and do that now. Very happy with this machine, highly recommend to anyone who has a need for one, and would definitely buy again. Even the bright green is cool. Can't wait to get it fired up again. ... show more

    • Awesome unit, once you get the hang of amps vs. wire-feed settings.

I'm approaching full retirement, and I've decided I need a hobby. So I recently bought beat-up old pickup truck to restore. I had never welded anything except one time years ago with a torch, trying to repair a wrought iron patio table (didn't work out well). The pickup I bought had one badly damaged and split two-piece tailgate hinge. I drove it to the Ford dealer to see about replacing the parts. The piece that mounted on the bed was $15. I asked about the other piece and was told it was fabricated with the tailgate and could not be replaced. The service tech looked at the hinge and said the body shop could repair it for about $300. I said thanks, anyway. I went home and watched a few online videos on welding for beginners. I learned that a wire welder was the easiest to learn and the best for light jobs on steel 1/4" or thinner. It looked easy. I looked on Amazon and found this Forney Easy Weld unit, checked reviews and videos, and decided I would teach myself to weld with one of these, so I ordered it and the various necessary welding gear. I sat in my garage door with a stack of old lawn mower and edger blades and a bucket of various junk metal objects. I'm not the sharpest tool in the fabrication shed, but I finally managed to successfully weld a half dozen 3/4" nuts to a lawnmower blade. I beat the dickens out of them with a hammer to see if I could damage my work or knock them loose. I discovered I had learned to weld the heavy stuff pretty darned well. So I grabbed some lighter weight metal and practiced with it. I had a hard time adjusting the knobs to get the wire feed speed to correspond with the amperage for the lighter materials, but after an hour or so, I had it down. I had taught myself to weld (at a really amateur level) in a single morning. That afternoon, I backed the truck up to the garage door, removed the tailgate, and set off on my first (and to date, only) real repair job: the hinge. It was by no means a professional job. In fact, it looks pretty embarrassing, but it's solid and fully functional and saved me $300, which meant the welder paid for itself on first use. Check out the before and after photos uploaded here. All that said, this is one of my favorite recent purchases, and now, whenever I have some idle time, I head out to the garage and just practice welding stuff. Any stuff. Whatever I can find. And I'm getting much better now, so somewhere down the line, I'll probably return to do a better job on my tailgate hinge, even though it is fully functional an sturdy as-is. I encourage all non-welders with the desire to learn to start with a welding unit like this. It's been fun to use and learn with, and younger folks with steadier hands and quicker minds than mine will probably be welding like pros in no time. The Forney Easy Weld 261, 140 FC-i Welder is a great buy! ... show more

This is a good welder for the money. The only thing is I'd recommend putting a washer behind the spool of wire at least when using the 2lb spool. You can see in the first pic where the bolts rub on the spool and probably would eventually catch on the holes in the plastic spool. A washer seems to do the trick nicely. It hasn't tripped my 20amp breaker yet like my brothers 90amp cheapo stick welder does all the time. Sometimes I find myself turning up the wire speed from the recommended settings but the chart on the inside is nice to get close or good enough.**9/10** ... show more

    • Great little welder & company
Easy setup and operation. Technical support is outstanding, contacted them twice, once for clarification on wiring and once for what turned out to be user error. Both times got right thru and got solutions. Used for a few hours now, as I’m just learning, and it’s great. Wire loads easily, controls are easy to understand. Highly recommended to anyone wanting a welder to learn or for art projects. ... show more
