Key Technical Features
How light is 3.55 pounds, really?
Lighter than a cordless drill. It fits in a toolbox drawer and travels to the job — welding power you actually carry instead of drag.
Why stick welding for beginners?
Stick is the most forgiving process outdoors: no gas bottle, works on rusty and thick steel, and rods cost pennies. The trade-off is more cleanup — slag chipping.
What does the 220V conversion cord do?
It's included. Run 110V household power for light work, plug the conversion cord into 220V for stronger output on thicker material.
What rods should I use?
E6013 for general repairs, E7018 for stronger structural work. Both available in our store, 10 lb boxes.
What's the 120A limit?
120A handles 1/8" steel comfortably. For 1/4" and thick plate work, see the ARC-200S or higher-output stick machines.
Real-World Use Cases
Toolbox trail repair
ATV racks, trailer hitches, and gate hinges — 3.55 lbs rides in the toolbox, ready when the trail breaks something.
First welding project
Adjustable current and simple controls — learn stick on scrap, then fix real things the same weekend.
The practical gift
$55.99 with everything included — holder, clamp, conversion cord. The gift that gets used.

Can it run on 220V?
Yes — the 220V conversion cord is included for US/CA orders, for stronger output on thicker material.
