I bought this to learn TIG welding and so far so good. Having the welding endorsement (stick and/or MIG) adds 20 points to your man card. Learning TIG welding adds another 10. With this one little machine, you can add 30 points to your man card! It's kind of amazing that you can get 210 amps from a welder this size and weight. I haven't welded anything using full power, or anywhere near it, so I don't know how realistic that number is. I've had a few surprises in the short time I've owned it. One is how well it welds from a 110 volt outlet. I do most of my welding using 220 volts in the shop, but if I ever have to do repairs away from there, it's nice to know I can. The other thing that surprised me was how smooth the stick welding worked, 110 and 220 both. I know it's sold mostly as a TIG welder, but sometimes the job may be more appropriate for stick welding. It may be because of rusty/dirty metal or the pain of dragging the argon bottle around. It doesn't come with a stinger, but it uses the standard 10/25 DINSE connector. I went with the cheapest one I could find on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CPP22PDR?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) and it's working great. I plan on using this until the urge to upgrade to an AC/DC machine is too great to resist. Hopefully, by then VEVOR will have their own AC/DC welder.
