Les Henson Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 This No Gas Turbo Fan Cooled MIG welder knocks spots off the rest. Complete with FREE ACCESSORY KIT comprising - Spool of MIG Wire, face shield, chipping hammer / wire brush! Shouldn't that be 'knock the spatters off all the rest' Why do you need a chipping hammer with a MIG welder? Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Two-Jacks Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 http://www.wolf.tv/product.asp?id=002047Click click! Got one and would only use it outside in windy conditions for non critical stuff, spits like mad even when using on clean metal. Save your money......

ThreeSheds Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Why do you need a chipping hammer with a MIG welder? Because gasless MIG produces slag over the weld pehaps? Some of us do all of our welding outside and although I agree that it is messy and splattery and more difficult than normal MIG, I would assert that gasless has it's place and shouldn't be dismissed out of hand. This particular welder though, I know nothing about and so can't comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 It's cheap enough that you could bin the transformer and most of the casing then adapt the thing to run from 24v for welding in the field? Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hattymender Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I'm in a minority of one (again) then. I bought a gas/gas less setup three years ago and use it 80% of the time on gas less. It's not as good as with gas but it's adequate (quite good when you get settings sorted), quick and easy and you don't run out of gas at the critical moment. If I've a criticism it's not the weld or splatter it's the brown fog it creates which obscures the weld pool and fogs your mask (I can create my own brown fog without the welder's help) Also (this may shock you) there's more out there to weld than just Land Rovers! Since discovering that 'that sparky thing' sticks metal together my wife's had me mend dog guards, fabricate hanging basket brackets, etc, etc. Gas less? Perfect for these jobs. Totally agree with previous comments about buying quality kit. If you're going to use it a lot. But for the occasional 'critical' job wouldn't you be better spending the money you saved getting it done professionally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
