but this or that welder?

buy this welder or that welder

i have to buy a fluxcore welding station and found those two at the local shop.

the ross is 550 niss (190 usd).

the rockstone (220 usd).

notice the the ross doest have mma and know that the rockstone selled online for 100\~ usd.

i plan to use it rarely and most probably for small welding stuff without a need to hold much weight

i know what i gravitet towards but i want your uneffected opinion.

thanks for all of Your help and have a nice day

hi i am looking for a cheap welding station for myself as a first welder (hobbiyst). i know i would weld mostly small to medium size metals.

if money wasnt an issue id buy a gas mig station for the ease of learning ( i would probably weld 3 times so a year so no real time to learn the art).

because money is an issue i was looking for flux core rather then mma and thought to buy 4 in one regardless just so if id want to upgrade id only need to buy co2/argon container.

found a cheap amazon welder for about 130 usd+50 usd for shipping.

also found a 3 in one welder at israel for about 220 usd.

i coupd also buy cheap 3 in one on amazon for 70 usd +50 for shipping.

those are the welders.

honestly i am gravitating for the amazon 4 in one but i dont know a lot at this field.

thanks :)

tried to weld a broken pipe handle with a stick welder.

it is imprtant to note that it was my first time and i tough i could just blob weld them together. i thing i needed to up the amprege more. i used around 120 amps i think and a5 the end the part was glowing red a little (not only blob but a little more)

btw dont weld at balcony. i got firedepartment rashi g to my house because i did it and my neughbors thought there were a fire breaking out. it qas funny but so fucking emberesing

anyways thanks for your support.

p.s. im pretty sure im gonna try and return the stick welder for flux welder. i think its more begginer briendly and more importantly it would allow delicet welding (which id probebly come across more often then welding stairs or tables.
