ARCCAPTAIN MIG Welder, 200Amp 6 in 1 Gas MIG/Gasless Flux Core MIG/Stick/Lift TIG/Spot welding/Spool Gun 110V/220V Aluminum Multi Process Welding Machine with LED Digital Display, Burn Back Adjustment

I’ve only welded twice in my life. I first tried a handheld TIG welder on my muffler (it had separated at the seam) but it kept burning through the thin metal. I bought this ARC Captain MIG 135 and used it with the flux-core wire it came with and it is much easier to work with. I have never used a MIG welder before but I had this set up and ready to weld in roughly 10 minutes. It only has 3 buttons so it’s not overwhelming for beginners. It’s relatively small, feels high quality, and I like the digital display. My welds are ugly but they did the job on the seam of my muffler (as seen in video). Took me a little bit to figure out a decent method but overall it went better than my tig welding attempts. The only small downside is that I wanted to store it back in the box and didn’t want to disconnect the gun since I would have to refeed the wire later. That says more about me than the welder though lol. If you’re a DIYer or trying to learn how to weld (like me) this welder is a solid choice. Easy to use, works well, and it’s not too expensive.

This has got to be the best welder for the money on the market. You don't have to have 220 but I put it in my garage, leased a tank of C-10 and haven't regretted it. The pre programed options are great but you can fine tune it to whatever you are welding. I can't speak on "in the field use" but for garage projects this welder is perfect. Build quality is great, doest feel light or cheap like the Harbor freight welders. I've always looked at reviews prior to buying, the videos and reviews don't lie on this welder. I'm very satisfied with this welder. Stop looking and buy this one.

I bought this welder to do the initial welding on a front and rear bumper kit. I did this in the driveway with a 120v 20 amp outlet and a 25ft 10 gauge extension cord. Using the flux core wire. Welded great. 0 issues. I have used name brand 120v wire feed welders at work and at home. This is by far the best one I have ever used. I was going to use it and give it to my son, but after using it I will keep it and buy him another one. Great product.

I used my 135 today for the first time and it surprised me. I have had several nice welders but sold them all after I had a stroke. I am a DIY kind of guy and needed to weld some small projects so I bought this welder. It works great but at this price I didn't expect Miller or Lincoln quality and I was not surprised at some of the cheapness of the parts. I had to put tape on the gun hose at the welder because it was seperating from the fitting. I also found that I needed at least a 20 Amp CB or it would trip my CB. I welded my project and was happy with the quality of the weld. I have no clue why there is a nozzle since it isn't needed and I removed it for a better view of the weld. The manual is not very good but it is easy to figure out. One thing that is not mentioned is the rotating knob is also a push button to change modes on the screen.

Easy to use good quality for the price, and excellent design, not big than other, works perfect. I recommend 100%

I have been really impressed with the ArcCaptain MIG200 multi-process welder. I bought this welder as an upgrade and replacement for my old Millermatic 140 welder. This ArcCaptain welder has so much more versatility, adjustment, and power compared to the old basic transformer MIG welder I'm coming from. The build quality is excellent, although it may not be as durable as a big name brand, but for DIY hobby use in the garage it will be more than tough enough. The welder comes with almost everything you need to MIG or stick weld out of the box. The only items you'll need to pick up are your MIG wire, shielding gas (unless you run flux-core wire), a gas regulator, or your stick welding electrodes. The welder comes with extra MIG consumables and uses standard tweco style contact tips readily available. 3 different styles of wire drive rolls are provided; V-groove for solid wire, knurled groove for flux wire, and U-groove for aluminum wire. Unfortunately ArcCaptain appears to have a packaging issue though because even with 7 drive rolls included in the kit none of them have a groove sized for running 0.035" (0.9mm) wire of any type. Hopefully they correct this issue in the future. This welder welds nicely and creates an easy to control weld bead. I'm a little rusty with my handwork so the inconsistencies in my test welds were the result of my own travel speed issues and not the welder. The Synergistic MIG functionality is really nice and provides a really good starting point for MIG weld settings. The one thing that ArcCaptain completely fails to mention in their user manual though is that when your in Synergistic mode you MUST set the AMPERAGE level appropriate for the material thickness being welded and then the machine will adjust the voltage and wire feed speed accordingly. For any beginner, just follow this rule of thumb and use 1 Amp for ever 0.001" of material thickness (ex. for welding 1/8" thick steel start with the welder set to 125A in synergistic mode and adjust the voltage from there if the weld is too hot/cold for your liking). My only minor complaints about the welder, aside from the missing 0.035" drive rolls, are that ArcCaptain didn't include a MIG setup chart sticker inside the door cover (which is standard practice on all MIG machines), and that the unit comes wired for 110V input and they provide a 110V to 220V adapter cable. I think this practice of passing 220V through a 110V plug is poor design and may even be a violation of certain electrical safety codes. The better design would've been to have a 220V cable wired to the unit and adapt down to a 110V plug when needed. Overall this ArcCaptain MIG200 welder is a great value for all of the functionality it provides. It provides many more advanced features typically reserved for welders 2-3X the price of this unit. ArcCaptains support team has also been very helpful and responsive to my emails and the customer support is excellent for an international company. I'd highly recommend this welder to anyone looking for an excellent value multi-process MIG welder.

Excelente equipo, muy recomendable

El único detallé es la antorcha..no es buena calidad!!!

I just put this puppy to use welding 14 gage 10 gage, tubing and 3/8” plate. It didn’t struggle at all. Even overheads and terrible spots, I was able to adjust the settings so easily with the SYN mode where it automatically adjusts the wire speed to match the desired voltage. I love the thought that was put into this welder. Even threading wire through the liner - it shuts the gas off (so u don’t waste any) and Max’s out the wire speed automatically. I have not used the aluminum wire spool yet but will come back her with some feed back when I do. I had a Lincoln welder that cost me $2500 in 2016 and the mother board fries in 2024. It would have cost more to fix it than buy a new one… so I looked into other models and had a buddy recommend arc captain. I’m glad he did. For the price - this is a fantastic garage welder. I am a journeyman ironworker and a journeyman welder. Most of my garage work is on cars, jeeps and oddball projects. This welder is capable of everything that I plan to throw at it. Very impressed.

This landed at my door today and I couldnt resist putting it together and giving it a try on 110v flux core. Just a bit of playing around until I change the 220v plug in my garage. The welder runs smooth, gives a nice arc and has decent penitration even with 110v. Easily takes a 10lbs spool of wire, its light weight and well built. Everything came well packed and just as advertised. I picked up an aluminum gun with it as well, looking forward to give ing it a dance. If there is one thing missing or something I would have liked in the pack, a flux core nozzle would have been nice. I understand its not essential but if im outside I use flux core and I like being able to keep the spatter out of the nozzle. They dont even offer one on their site! Kinda weird. Ill source them elsewhere i guess. The cable on the plug came with some goo on it, it just peals off though. The best part... I had questions after I ordered the welder, they responded withing a day! Offered additional help and information, which was beyond what I expected. It gives me a good feeling that they stand behind their product. I'm interested in a new helmet, maybe I'll give them a try as well. I'm satisfied and would recommend. That said if I run into issues I will revise my comments.

Received my 200 today. Coming from an old welder with a few switches and knows this seemed a little intimidating, however it was quite simple. I spent a few hours working on auto floor replacement (mig gas)and it worked very well. The option of dialing up or down a little to fine tune was a must and appreciated as at times it was as low as I could get it. Even with that low setting arcing was a non issue. Well packaged, arrived on time, seems like a quality welder. Much much better than the one I returned to the China department store. 4 star just because I haven't tried the other options of welding yet
