100amp is good for light sheet metal. But stick welding on light sheet metal is a real challenge. I wouldn't try that. And I've been welding over 60 years. Currently own three oy-acetylene rigs, two MIGs, three sticks.

I don't have this model but a much more fully featured YesWelder model and it's a quality welder. That said, I bought it during a "limited-time" Black Friday sale two years ago that as far as I can tell has been running perpetually ever since; only the holiday or other occasion has changed. This is most likely a paid placement like many so-called deals here, so nothing to panic-buy your way into. It'll almost certainly be this same price tomorrow and next week and on the 4th of July and on Frodo's birthday and....

This is the regular everyday price, just search amazon/ebay.
Got one a while back, its small, not much bigger than a loaf of bread but it welds.

Thanks. A bit over my budget but it might prove useful as a benchmark against which to judge other units and kits. I'm really looking to spend no more than $30-$40 for the few times I might want to spot weld. I wonder if it's possible and safe to use a soldering iron if I'm very careful, although I understand that it can damage the LiOn cell and possibly even ignite it.

Alternately, I might just try and fashion a spring-loaded cell holder and make it really simple--and safe.
There are other DIY spot welders like this based on the Arduino. You could probably build one within your budget. Search instructables.com and youtube for "Arduino spot welder DIY" and you'll see plenty of videos/instructions on how to make your own.

I would never risk using a soldering iron (too slow to heat up the nickel tabs--the heat will transfer into the Li-ion battery packs for sure). I've accidentally set an Li-Po battery pack (for RC cars) on fire at home, and that thing burnt so fast I didn't have time to react. I was lucky that it didn't set anything else on fire.

anyone have thoughts on a good beginner welding helmet?

This one on "liquidation sale" at Harbor Freight seems pretty good. Not sure if it's better/worse than the YESWELDER helmet for the same price...

I have an autodark model from HF, I only weld a few times a year but so far it has worked as expected.

Thanks, good advice, and I'll keep the soldering iron away from LiOn.

That would be IGBT inverter, as in Insulated Gate Bipolar Inverter. Not quite the 69 volt Lgbt inverter that your thinking of. Although bipolar so I guess you could say it is bi.

That helmet was fine for me until I started doing AC TIG welding (aluminum).

This comment is nuts.

80 - 100 amps is sufficient for 3/32" diameter 7018 rod. Do yourself a favor and get 7018. It welds so smoothly. 3/32" rod will be fine for hobby use. You're not building a bridge. You can always do multiple passes for thicker material.

MIG welding is probably the best and most versatile for newbies. You'll need a bottle lease, though (C25, argon + carbon dioxide). You can do flux core without gas, but it will have more spatter.

Stick welding is (relatively) old, simple, cheap, and can be performed in most environments. If you try to MIG weld outdoors on a breezy day, you'll find that your shielding gas blows away and your welds are terrible.

Did you buy one and it blew up on you? Do you have first hand experience with this machine or are you just making an unfounded statement because you don't like the price.

yikes dude, really defending the company

Not defending anyone, actually I know nothing about the company good or bad. But this happens all the time where someone looks at the price and goes "this is too low, it must be sh*t" without knowing anything about the actual product. If you have experience with the product, great let us know good or bad it doesn't matter. If you don't have experience with the specific product but have general knowledge with the type of products and you see issues then also great let us know (for example you see a cell phone deal and it doesn't offer frequency for major carriers, you see a soldiering iron that is claiming unreasonable temperatures, etc). But ominous notes that have no details don't help anyone that is trying to figure out what to buy.

A good starting point I guess but the reviewer wasn't impressed.
Yes, but read through the comments, there is a simple mod (add a cap) that makes it work much better. Several comments point it out.

This will weld at least up to 1/8 inch not problem and probably even 1/4 inch. I think I've watched just about every cheap Amazon-stick and mig welder reviews on youtube and they all seem to do the job and do it pretty well.

Which model, if you don't mind sharing? I'm currently running a Lincoln 220v unit, but can't transport it easily and really like the dual voltage option…

youre right, it isnt helpful when someone instinctively says too low without knowing anything. its useless info.
