Have only used for a short time on 50x50x2 rhs gal which is mostly what I will use it for, this machine is far superior to the previous welder that the museum had. I feel it is easier to use than my gas mig in my home workshop.

How likely would you be to recommend this product to a friend? (10 = very likely) = 10 Comments: The Weldclass 160MST MK2 was very easy to assemble and well packaged in the box, together with the help of the online videos by Weldclass. Using their gasless 0.9mm wire also supplied with the bundle package, together with the quick reference guide i had the machine welding very nice welds straight up with minor adjustments. Very compact unit, light weight, digital voltage and currect settings makes fine tuning easy and to write down your favorite settings for later reference. The weldclass bundle package price, the range of consumables and accessories for my machine at my local hardware made up my final discission to purchase this machine, so far I am very happy with my purchase.

Easy of setup was amazing. The wire feed is great on my older welder of a different brand was a real pain. Your setup is great. Instruction manual easy to understand, best of all price and the bonus helmet, wire and other tools beats other brands for dead. This welder make an average welder look like pro.

I was building a large sliding gate with my old stick welder, got annoyed with how slow and inconvenient it was so i went and bought myself the little WF160mst which made the job enjoyable. its easy to set up, and lays a nice crisp bead with good even penetration. my only regret is not buying the 180.

The Weldclass MST160 is in a class of it’s own for any home handyman welder. Straight out of the box, this welder was the easy to set up & use. It produced a great weld far better than I expected especially given I had never used a gasless mig. WOW was I impressed from the moment I started welding. I am now thinking of more projects just so I can enjoy using the welder some more. 12/09/22, 4:56 am

Very smooth and easy to operate on the gasless setting (best ever owned). Perfect for the small project jobs at home, also with all the choices of welding functions in one unit makes it more easier to get to some of those hard to reach spots. Overall it's a wonderful unit to learn on and build my skills. thank you for a great product design. Would like to be entered in the comp. for a jacket. Thanks again. : )

It worked perfectly running off generator on remote site. I like how compact and light it is as it will live in my vehicle and only ever be used as a portable unit. With the promotion running at the moment this is fantastic value, and I have already recommended the welder to a friend who is looking to buy one.

The enclosed instructions were thorough and helpful. After a short practice session I made strong and fairly neat joints on reinforcing bars. I was pleased at how easy the machine was to use. It is a huge improvement on my old stick welder.

Have only used for a short time on 50x50x2 rhs gal which is mostly what I will use it for, this machine is far superior to the previous welder that the museum had. I feel it is easier to use than my gas mig in my home workshop.

How likely would you be to recommend this product to a friend? (10 = very likely) = 10 Comments: The Weldclass 160MST MK2 was very easy to assemble and well packaged in the box, together with the help of the online videos by Weldclass. Using their gasless 0.9mm wire also supplied with the bundle package, together with the quick reference guide i had the machine welding very nice welds straight up with minor adjustments. Very compact unit, light weight, digital voltage and currect settings makes fine tuning easy and to write down your favorite settings for later reference. The weldclass bundle package price, the range of consumables and accessories for my machine at my local hardware made up my final discission to purchase this machine, so far I am very happy with my purchase.

The Weldclass MST160 is in a class of it’s own for any home handyman welder. Straight out of the box, this welder was the easy to set up & use. It produced a great weld far better than I expected especially given I had never used a gasless mig. WOW was I impressed from the moment I started welding. I am now thinking of more projects just so I can enjoy using the welder some more. 12/09/22, 4:56 am

Very smooth and easy to operate on the gasless setting (best ever owned). Perfect for the small project jobs at home, also with all the choices of welding functions in one unit makes it more easier to get to some of those hard to reach spots. Overall it's a wonderful unit to learn on and build my skills. thank you for a great product design. Would like to be entered in the comp. for a jacket. Thanks again. : )

It worked perfectly running off generator on remote site. I like how compact and light it is as it will live in my vehicle and only ever be used as a portable unit. With the promotion running at the moment this is fantastic value, and I have already recommended the welder to a friend who is looking to buy one.
