This one fired right up out of the box with no worries. The key was to move the ground cable closer to the area your cutting. I have run a couple of pounds of these rods. Came as advertised and on time and the person that will be using it is well pleased. Use them all over in my workshop.

AUTOOL Final Thoughts
"The price is great."
As you can see I put 5 stars. Very easy to find proper welding temp. There are some cheaper welders out there that have digital amperage adjustment. It is very light weight and portable. The welder looks very well built, shiny paint.
