Aldi Arc Welder - only 30 quid!

[Mr Hammers]

Popped in to (Oxford) Aldi's for a quick look to see what they have this week and was happy to find these Arc Welders reduced from 39.99 to 29.99. Picked one up, got home and tried and it does a pretty good job for the money. Thought i might try some ally welding with it, as setting up the MIG for that is a pain. Handy if i run out of wire or gas for the MIG too.

Can't see them advertised on Aldi's site anywhere, so i thought i'd let you lot know. Don't know if it's just Oxford, or if all Aldi's have them.

There were still quite a few left yesterday, but i'm sure they'll be gone soon at that price.

There was a previous BCF thread from a while ago about them here too.

Wotcha waitin' fer? Go grab a bargain!

These welders work, but need a good supply. Also, dont waste the money on alloy rods. It wont do it, the arc doesnt get hot enough. Mines been used largely for gate type welding and cutting up scrap. With gouging rods, you can cut all day.

Just be sure the cooling fan shifts air, some dont.
