7 Welders: Vulcan (Harbor Freight), Lincoln, Yeswelder, Flameweld, Azzuno, Warcking and Chicago Electric. MIG welders compared for welds using both flux core and solid wire with shielding gas. Performance comparison includes weld penetration, weld strength, ability to weld very thin material, and current stability over 5 minutes. A big "thank you" to Virgil for helping test the welders!
I purchased all of the welding machines and supplies to ensure an unbiased review. So, thank you for supporting the channel.

@AggressiveLemur

Good God the amount you spent to test this is terrifying. Thank you for reliable and trustworthy work.

@chinaskibukowski7747

"I just went out and bought 7 different mig welders" Is the greatest opening line to a video of all time. The testing this man does is just absurdly good. Unbiased, fair and honest. That's why this channel is easily one of the best on RU-vid. Well done sir!!!

@thatshowvidu

This guy is a national treasure. We are at a point where we just check his channel first for the review of what we're going to buy.

@TwiztidPain

Honestly, as a welder I can take any of these welders and put them through their paces. You have your hobby welders then your industry welders. Respect for your honest review. It all depends what you need to weld.

@Andrew-27

Over 2k $ for a welder!? Gotta appreciate the dedication and the quality Project Farm provides.

@tjtobin86

I dont think anyone can deny the quality of Lincoln welders. But for the price, I love my Yeswelder. They are a company that was founded via kickstarter and have ALWAYS listened to their customers (via facebook groups, online reviews, etc). Thank you Todd for the testing!!!

@natologic

I love the recent adjustment in your videos to frequently include expert opinions. Of course we trust your thoughts and experiments Todd - but bringing in experts like Virgil is the next level!

@LS11971

Personally I have a Miller 210 with gun on demand. Spent $2000 and that was 20 years ago. Has been a great welder and have never had any issues with it. Would like to see a comparison of Tig welders which will probably be my next purchase. Really looking at the Primeweld for a midrange priced unit that still performs good. Would really like to see your comparison of this type of welders.

@Allprocorey

We need a battery powered high torque impact gun test soon so I can find out which one to carry in my car 🥹🥹

@dandeerso

By far my favorite part of your videos is the fact that you don't outright tell people which product to buy, and you just lay out the bare performance for people to make their own decisions from. Thanks for your efforts, Todd!

@AT_Automation

That wasp dying by a fiery pool of death was such a nice touch 🤌🏼

@pipbernadotte6707

Project Farm: we're gonna test that

@genericinternetperson

You know, it occurred to me while watching that this channel has probably the best community I've ever seen. Practically zero negativity, nothing but appreciative comments for all the work you do to keep us informed. Plus I found this one particularly entertaining, bringing in an expert for it. Project Farm just never lets you down.

@chaddiusthewise527

I’m a 23 year old that doesn’t know much about anything. Your videos have taught me SO MUCH. It may not feel like it sometimes but you’re helping people every time you post. Thank you.

@1978JonBullock

NO.1 independent Product testing channel on RU-vid by far. These awesome product reviews are so in-depth you can take the knowledge and purchase these products with some of the uncertainty taken care of. I personally have bought different products after watching some of these reviews.

@acguy661

If you mentioned it I missed it, but replacement parts and consumables are also important to consider when shopping for a welder. A better welder can be repaired instead of being disposable if something happens, meaning a better welder can be cheaper in the long run and nicer to use.

@friedpancakes266

Nothing beats my grandpa's very old and very sketchy welder. Against all odds, 13 major hurricanes, and being thrown around by a tornado, it still works. Now that his workshop is being cleared out due to old age, i got to claim his immortal deathtrap and give it a loving home

@GumbootsOnBackwards

I love these comparison videos! I would love to see a "is new really better?" type of series where you compared brand new units from retail vs used units from the popular used sites like FB marketplace and ebay.

@josephpacchetti5997

I've run out of ways to say, the most comprehensive and best testing on YT, Thanks Todd. 👍🇺🇸

@AllThingsMech

Thanks for another stellar review, Todd! As a welder with 25+ years of experience, I will say that what you get out of buying Miller or Lincoln machines is great customer support. Pick up the phone and a tech can walk you through a repair, or you take take it to a local dealer for service. Not so with the Chinese stuff. Had a problem with the control board on an Everlast PowerMTS 251 welder at my last job, and getting in touch with anyone was a joke. They emailed me a PDF that looked like it was drawn up by a 5 year old, and when I had a question about clarifying some of the ridiculous crap on their drawing I couldn't get anyone to call me back. I ended up leaving that position before we ever got a resolution on it.
