ARCCAPTAIN MIG Welder, 200Amp 6 in 1 Gas MIG/Gasless Flux Core MIG/Stick/Lift TIG/Spot welding/Spool Gun 110V/220V Aluminum Multi Process Welding Machine with LED Digital Display, Burn Back Adjustment

I wish I would have took pictures of some welds I layed using gasless might and stick..maybe tomorrow..but first off I'm 46 years old and I started welding at 26. I've worked at shipyards, under a contractor for the US government, a few fab shops, and production welding plants.. I don't believe in a such thing as a beginners welder. You'd be a fool to spend a bunch of money on a welder especially if you're not going to push it through the torture it's price deserves so get price out of your head when picking a machine...only function on the welders functions, and solely what you need it for..I welded for years and have learned how to get the same results on a cheap welder as well as the expensive ones..The only thing that differs is it's features..The Arccaptain 160 is a potential all-around welder rather it be small projects to maybe something heavier being that you can run 220 as well..Also the choice to use a backing gas or not..It's a rugged built welder that I found to weld rather smooth especially if you choose a good gasless wire or rod..I'm using Blue Demon gasless flux core wire and Blue Demon 3/32 7018's..It will definitely get the job done..No matter cheap or expensive, the same fundamental elements of welding apply to both meaning you can make a weld from a cheap welder look just as good as one from a expensive welder..So when choosing a welder forget the price and focus on the functionality you need for what you do..with that being said, This welder is a winner in my book..

I've only used it once and I am a brand new welder learning from you tube and opportunity brought on by purchasing a Ranch. Indiana want to break the bank but I wanted options. The ability to weld in many different ways will be useful. My first project was repairing a busted 3-point hitch mount and it was very straight forward and the Arccaptain 250 performed very well. I have no experience and used the flux core option for my first project and it went WAY better than I expected. I am ALMOST looking forward to more stuff breaking! My next purchase will be a spool gun so I can start mending holes in irrigation pipe. I love that this little welder is 110v capable so I can use it out in the field with a decent generator, that will save time from breaking down equipment to get it back to the shop. So far I would recommend this unit highly to anyone looking to try out their hand at welding.

Came with everything it was supposed to except a shoulder strap and idk if I was supposed to get one but wish I did. Comes with all the drive rollers for all wire sizes. Works perfectly straight out of the box and now my boss wants to buy one. This is the best welder I have used and owned, even over miller and Lincoln. Has the power and smoothness needed and can do delicate work. Very happy with my purchase. Super easy to use just turn it on and go

Top-tier product! Seamless integration, crystal-clear output, and modern aesthetics. Packaged with extreme care. Seller answered all queries promptly. Will become a loyal customer—bravo!

GREAT WELDER, SUPRISED HOW WELL THE FLUX CORE WIRE WORKS. FOR FLUX CORE WIRE FEED WELDING, YOU MUST: HOOK THE GROUND CLAMP TO THE POSITIVE POSITION (+), AND THE POWER LOOP TO THE NEGATIVE POSITION (-) !!! WAY LESS SPATTER AND WAY NICER WELDS THIS WAY, (WATCH SOME YOUTUBE VIDEOS ON FLUX CORE MIG WELDING). ALSO HIGHLY RECOMMEND Weld-Aid Weld-Kleen Heavy Duty Anti-Spatter Liquid. MAKES CLEANING OFF SPATTER SO EASY! IT WELDS BEST IF PLUGGED INTO A 220V - 240V OUTLET.

Decided I wanted to learn to weld, and this did everything I needed. Simple instructions for setup, digital display is fine, works as it should. I may still be terrible at welding, but the machine is great.

So, I'm not an expert welder by any means, and I've never actually welded with flux core wire. I've welded off and on for the past 20 years and it's been at least 5 years since I've touched a welder. With a standard mig setup with argon, once dialed in, I can lay a pretty decent weld. Not perfect, but it'll hold together. I took this out of the box and started working on some scrap. Turned the power up to a little over half since I was working with 1/8" thick material. To my surprise, this thing started laying down a solid bead. I was expecting a lot more spatter and work trying to dial the settings in. For a novice welder, who needs something to get them started for hobbyist type projects, I would absolutely 100% recommend this unit. It's small, lightweight and extremely portable. I would recommend that you have a 20 amp outlet to run it on and a heavy duty extension cord.

No complaints on this little welder, does everything I’ve asked of it so far. Has very good penetration on welding thicker steel. Welds came out nicely. Even for my dad to buy one and he’s been welding for 30 plus years with nothing but millers. I would have no problems buying another one if it came down to it. Only thing I would make sure you have a 30Amp breaker or it will pop anything lower than that, and up grade the ground clamp to something better. Other than that the welder is great for someone looking to do some smaller projects.
