TOOLIOM Aluminum MIG Welder with Pulse 250A 110V/220V Dual Voltage 4 in 1 Multifunctional Welding Machine Gas/Gasless Flux MIG/Lift TIG/Stick with Spool Gun Compatible

To start, this review is for the TL-135M Pro. This thing is quite lightweight but very capable. So far, I have only used the flux-core wire feed mode and am blown away by the arc stability and ease of use compared to my old cheap transformer style. I loaded some .030 YESWELDER wire and consulted the included chart to adjust the wire speed (voltage is automatic/synergic) to the appropriate level for my material (1/8" mild steel) and proceeded to permanently fuse my test pieces. After a quick hit with a wire wheel, the welds cleaned up amazingly, having very minimal spatter (see photo). I am currently running off of a 20A 120V circuit and have yet to trip a breaker. It's not a Miller or Lincoln, but this thing punches way outside of its price point. I plan on purchasing the TIG torch and giving that a try as well as the stick welding option.

I noticed after buying this Tolliom Welder that it is frequently returned. I was rather surprised because I didn't want to have to return it, I of course prefer MIG with gas but this was a really good price and I didn't need beautiful welds. Ordered this welder with a new helmet and some YESWELDER Gasless Flux Core Mig Wire, Mild Steel E71TGS .030-Diameter, 2-Pound Spool, 3-Packs all from Amazon.Sadly the purchase date was long before I could use the welder so my return window was closed - definitely was feeling nervous about having some problem.Got everything out of the box, followed the directions mostly (as far as my short attention span would allow) - installed the spool of wire and began manually threading it into the gun hose so that I would make sure not to bind the initial run in the overall sheath.Got the gun threaded and started welding, wasn't sure if I set the tension on the drive wheels for the mig wire feed properly. Ended up having a binding condition early, but was easily resolve with a re-run of the wire in the gun. This time I finally looked in the manual again and realized they have the feed wire button on the front, which slow starts and then consistently threads the mig wire in the gun. Worked flawlessly thereafter and I tightened the clamping wheel for the wire pretty tightly.Moving from gas it took some getting used to again (been years since I've done flux core welding) but came up to speed quick. Was welding angle iron to thin fence post pipe, older material. Mostly the challenge I had was that the welder was actually more powerful than I expected!Based on the thicknesses I measured, the welder was set to max in/sec but I actually had to back down (max is 420 but I backed it down to 300 or 350 depending on the weld and materials). Gotta say I'm very impressed, excellent penetration and strong welds. Depending on the location I was even able to get fairly good looking welds although I didn't really care about that, mostly was just going for structural strength as this project is for an electric gate kit on some cyclone fencing in the driveway.I don't know or understand what other people are reporting or why this would be frequently returned, I had good luck with it, welding outdoors, welding only partially or even unground zinc coated fence posts and raw steel, and my results were solid, strong welds. Surprisingly, would recommend this welder to anyone needing the ease and portability of a 120 VAC welder for around the ranch, farm or simple non-aesthetic around the house projects.

I like it so far, I e only used the tig and plasma so far. I am genuinely shocked at the quality of this welder and did not expect it to be really well built. Im not just talking about the welder but all of the attachments as well. I do wish the air inlet and the argon inlet were separate. So I don’t have to loosen and tighten clamps every time I change. Everything was there and packaged well. We will have to see on longevity. It’s fairly light for all it does and is great that it is multi voltage as well.

I've had this welder for quite awhile now and owe it a review. My neighbor is a professional welder by trade and he was very impressed when I showed him my new welder. I thought he'd scold me and start tearing apart my purchase but after taking a look and doing some test welds he was really impressed. I've been using it for my classic car restoration, installing inner fenders, cowl, quarter plans and trunk floor. No issues. I'd recommend a quality wire for less splatter but it does well with whatever I've put in it so far. You can't go wrong for the money, I'm very impressed and would recommend this to anyone.
