The WINWIN Arc200 can certainly hold its own against a lot more expensive welder machines. Being the cheapest out there doesn’t mean you’re down on features. It features an impressive current range of 200 Amps at 80% duty cycle.
It can handle welding steel up to 0.25″ thick, making it a perfect beginner’s machine for those looking to do some car or motorcycle welding at home. We would recommend using 6010 or 7018 welding rods, neither of which are supplied within the box unfortunatelly.

As a safety precaution, it is recommended to weld for 30 minutes and then rest for five minutes before repeating the process.
Cable clamps are quite short
This device has a minor drawback as the clamp and holder are shorter than what I would like. However, it’s nothing major since you can just reposition your work when using this tool on thicker objects.
