Upgraded 220W Plastic Welder, 2 in 1 Plastic Welding Kit Plastic Repair Welder Kit 1000PCS Hot Stapler Soldering Gun with 100PCS Plastic Welding Rods Car Bumper Repair Kit for Most Plastic Repair

I purchased this plastic welding type kit to repair cracks in various plastic parts. It worked well on my cracked meta 3d printed controller holder. This repair was delicate because the controller holder was very thin. Some finesse is required in cases where plastic is thin, A little technique is needed to to make the repair look nice...Must practice! I will try some garden tools next I know these repaires will make things last longer. I think it was a good buy!

My lawn mower hood was damaged in a wind storm and had a 30 inch crack in it almost in two pieces. I ordered this plastic welder to try a repair. I followed instructions and repaired the hood. Saved me 385.00 for a hood. My brother owns a auto repair shop saw it and ordered himself one.

Seems to be of good quality. Heats the staple up in about 5 seconds making the job quick. Has a good assortment of staples and color filler rods. I used this to weld a crack in a poly wheelbarrow tub (Never poly again). Supported the bottom of the tub with 3/4” plywood to keep contents from falling through the crack.Only time will tell if the staples will keep the welded crack from separating. I think the best application here is repairing cracked plastics and bumpers and other nonload surface areas.

Just got the plastic welder and used it today. My Jihn Deere lawnmower hood is getting brittle and has a big crack in it. Works perfectly, quickly and holds strong. Very easy to use. Almost finished.

Haven't used it yet, but looks like it should work fine for the crack in my PP wheelbarrow tray.Update: Fixed an 8" crack in my PP wheelbarrow tray today and it exceeded my expectations. Worked exactly as advertised, Pics attached. Would buy again, but won't need to as I only used a stick and a half of the filler rods. First pic is after the staples were inserted, 2nd one after cutting off the wires and smoothing. Very satisfied.

At first I thought this didn't work. Maybe it was my outlet or something, but it seems to be working fine now. It took a little practice, I was frustrated the first few times i used it, but it turns out that was just a skill issue. I will say there are a few tips that I've found that have been helpful:1. I prefer to pull plastic from a sacrificial part of whatever I'm repairing. It's the right stuff. When possible I like this approach.2. Start slow. My first problem was trying to melt through too much and put too much on and I just ended up with a goopy mess.3. I like the little metal pieces that attach to the gun more than the mesh, they seem to work better for the parts that need them (which was frequently the case for what I was repairing).My basic process for repairing a tab on my bumper was this:1. Cut out a sacrificial piece that's the right size. I used tin snips, worked well but I'm sure there are better tools (they were much easier than when I tried with an exacto knife though).2. Use the metal tape on the underside to keep the piece in place.3. *Lightly* use the gun to just barely melt the plastic at the edges to where it's gently held in place.4. Attach the staples to the gun and then put them on the joints and heat them up and get them just below the surface (don't try to go too deep). It helps here once you're at the right depth to let go of the trigger but hold it in place until things start to cool.5. Cut the edges of the staple.6. Get another bit of sacrificial plastic and put that over the staple and heat it up to cover up the staples.

I love this thing.. For anyone in the automotive industry those pesky cracked plastic cover great for helping to hold split, cracked and broken pieces. Minor learning curve with temp but it's quick.

This is a solid plastic welder. Already used it for a few projects to fixing cracks, to fully welding back on plastic pieces.It heats up quick and you can get to work in a few minutes. Haven’t had any issues with it overheating for longer jobs.My only negatives, is that it comes with one style plastic melter and in some cases it would be nice to have different shapes to be able to do a better job. The other thing is that the back end of it does get quite hot. Also the snips and the utility knife it comes with are not great. Specially the utility knife. It pretty much doesn’t function. Also the little light on the welder is only useful for letting you know it’s on and heating.Otherwise it comes with quite of bit of accessories that should last you for some time, to do multiple jobs. Comes with a lot of black, grey, white, and clear sticks.
