Bestarc 165A MIG Welder, Flux Core/Gas MIG Stick Lift TIG Welding, 110/220V

So far i use on 115v plug it welds very good. Wire feed Works well. First time using stick welding it does well. Still getting hang of it. Worth the money. I have old lincoln welder from harbor freight. The bestarc is easy to use weld better. Easy to set up. Would be good for beginners.

Ive been using a 1990s Italian Transformer welder for 20 years. I thought that I sucked at welding because I didn't do it often enough to become good at it. Turns out the old machine was just... Well old. My first weld with this made me feel like a pro. It adjusts the feed speed and you just set it for the thickness of your weld. Incredible first weld on 110v no less. Yes there are things that feel cheap. The spindle holder won't last with regular use, the handle on top felt cheap as well. But for someone who welds 2 or 3 times a year. This unit is amazing

I don't normally write reviews, but I have to say, this is a great product for the price point. I am NOT a welder, but it's easy enough to learn using this box, and some you tube videos and pointers from friends who weld.

The only thing that bothers me is when I'm welding it welds with a pulsating action. Not a smooth running feed. But it other than that I love it.

Little beast for hobby work and repairs. Plenty of heat for small repairs, even on 110. Would recommend for anyone who isn’t a pro.

Nice

I bought the Mig 165 11 gen version for my husband for his birthday. He does what he always does when he gets a new toy and took it to work to test it out and the several year veteran welder at the shop who is a Lincoln brand fan and owner was utterly impressed as well as a few others in the shop to the point they are purchasing their own. I ended up purchasing this brand because last year for Christmas I purchased hubby their brand's plasma cutter and it has been fantastic. Easy to use and extremely affordable products haven't had any issues.

I ordered the MIG 165 and when it arrived it was well packed. As I removed the welder and inspected everything, I noticed that the copper tip seemed to be bent, almost touching the nozzle. I removed the nozzle and realized that the tip was threaded in crooked. I removed the tip and inspected it and it seemed OK, so I threaded in another tip and it was crooked also. Turns out that the brass diffuser had the internal threads tapped in crooked! I honestly don't know if this would have created any wire feed issues or not, but I didn't want to unpack anything else just to test it. Besides, it was bran new from the box and should have been perfect. So I immediately reached out to BestArc customer service from their website and told them about the problem. Two days later after no response, I used the connection from Amazon to reach out to them. Early next morning at 4AM our time I got a message saying they were sorry and could I send photos. I sent photos in a reply and never heard back from them. Two days later, I packed it back up with all the original packing and submitted a return on Amazon. I'm a prime member so it is never a hassle for doing returns, and I took the package to the UPS store and dropped it off. This was over a week ago and I still haven't received any response from BestArc. I gave them 3 stars because I think this unit is probably worth the money, had everything been perfect, but I will never know. I knocked off 2 stars for poor customer service! I went ahead and spent the extra money to get the ArcCaptain MIG 200, which will take a 10lb spool and has the removable and interchangeable stinger cable and more options at a higher amperage. It should be here in a couple days. I'll let you know how it goes!

Fantastic! Little welder. Use it for stainless aluminum and bas steel. Highly recommend this modification allows you to use much higher end equipment on this little machine. Will be posting a link to Reddit on all the parts that I needed, including my 3D printed files that I made for it. Note: it will void warranty. But parts are relatively inexpensive so I wouldn't worry too much.

Soude tres bien
