on-board welders are seriously one of the most bad ass additions someone can have. I love seeing work trucks that are mobile work-spaces; when they got welders, vices, compressors, the whole nine.
Our off-road rigs aren't quite to the level of a work truck, but we carry enough tools and spare parts to hopefully be able to get ourselves out of trouble. Having a trail welder was one area we were lacking and I'm glad I finally got myself one.
I usually carry a jump starter pack just in case batteries drained too much and “recharge “ the batteries in truck every 10-15 minutes and limit weld times to allow recharging batteries in truck
Hey Mr Tim, I just found out your UA-cam channel today and I did subscribed. I just wonder if you happen to video tape a differential gear locker already before. I have a 02 tundra and I’m thinking to install one . Thank You
my welder on flux core settings welds better when im pulling the puddle instead of pushing…. im sure some “expert” will chime in and call me a bunch of names including but not limited to “idiot”…. One thing I do know for sure is with the smaller welders. It helps to get a small propane, torch and heat that area up a little bit where you’re going to start and that helps keeping the beginning of your weld nice and flat and melted in once you get going the rest of the piece will heat up.
Is it flux core? Because it looks like it. Good enough for a trail fix. Still to expensive unless you have an extra 500 dollars lying around. I absolutely hate flux core for anything other than a temporary quick fix.
Well, of course it's flux core. Who's going to drag around a 75/25 Argon/Carbon Dioxide tank while going wheeling? It's a "TRAIL WELDER", meaning it welds good enough to get you safely off the trail. I'm of the opinion if you weld it well enough, it could be a permanent repair. This is meant to save your ass on the trail. If you were stranded on the trail and a welder could save the day, I'd bet you'd gladly part with way more than $500 not to leave you stranded, or you have to abandon your rig and hope nobody messes with it while you drive out in another rig to get the necessary parts and tools. If you think this is too much money, bring some battery cables and a few welding sticks and try your hand at arc welding.

Highly recommend this product. I carry one in my truck every time I go wheeling. Awesome review!
Yes, It is an awesome product. Thanks for the comment.
Just bought one, appreciate the review. I can’t see very well when I’m welding as well, must be an old guy thing. Thanks again.
Good to hear. You'll like it. Nice to know I'm not the only one welding by braille.
Very nice welding kit. It's always important to be one step ahead.
Yep, it's a great kit. I'm glad I added this to my trail tool set.
I have a light on my helmet too and it helps out so much.
That's cool. I thought I was alone about not being able to see well when welding.

Thanks for the tip. That's good advice.
Did you keep track of the batteries temperatuer ?. If so how hot did they get?
No, never kept track of the temp of the batteries.
Is there a piece of film on the lens that needs to be removed before using the yes welder welding hood?
No, no film on the lens. I think I'll next try to weld in the "cut" setting with a shade range of 5-9.

Thanks for the sub! We are stoked you found our channel. Maybe this video might help? ua-cam.com/video/qAznG_WoS44/v-deo.html

Thanks for the comment. I'm clearly not an expert welder either.
Pretty cool ! Get a shop fan dude. Get that poison out of your face.
A shop fan would be smart. Is there a setup that would be easy to install in a home garage?
What does it cost?
He said what it cost in the video.
@@subzjc I guess I must've zoned out for that.
We provide a link to their website in the video. The price depends on which kit you want.
Use 36v when doing quarter inch
I could actually well 1/4" pretty well with 24 volts.
It’s not ready to weld till ground is attached
Yes, this is true.
