Whilst researching welders I found weldclass to be easy to contact on the phone ,they provided product advice and answered all of my questions , it was refreshing to be able to speak a real person at the end of the phone . The fact they are an Australian company with honest information and a 7 year warranty it hard to go past. 20/09/23 18:08

I have just bought this product to teach myself a bit of welding. So far I have been happy with the results and the product. It is also so good to have a manual that that is easy to understand and quite comprehensive enough to get up and running.

Comments: I used the 131GL welder and helmet kit today, and while I need lots more practice setting up, it did the job of welding together a climbing plant frame, as a star shaped support for fixing to the top of a timber post, using offcut reo from a swimming pool. There was no 131GL in the choice of selections, so 141GL was the closest pick. I have used a MIG welder at TAFE during a welding stick short course and the 131 happily joined the eight pieces of my post header into a union jack styled star/circle, laying down lots of runs to hold the centre together for the coach screw hole. I didn't need a pro job for strength, but the 131 did all that was required, from the size of welder. I am very satisfied with the brand. Thank you Weldclass. Now to win the coat. 11/12/22 05:11
