TOOLIOM 135A 110V Gasless Flux Core MIG Welder with LCD Display

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.

Accidentally left my unit out in the rain. Still kicking. Has helped with many a small project. Welded my trailer together, and I dont treat it well, and its still holding together. Great product.

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.

Worked for 5 mins one day using a test plate, but now doesn't work. still turns on, ground still works, and the gun still carries polarity, but wire will not weld to the same prepped surface I used before. Replaced the tips, and tried other torches/grounds and would not function. I would then use the tips, ground and torches on my other machine and works without issue. May be an internal issue, not sure. But it simply will not work for me.

This badass little welder is awesome. Easy to use, perfect for any project around the house, personal use or in a crunch. I love it

I'm very reluctant to leave any type of review before 6 mo. has passed when electronics/tools are involved, but I've had this welder for 3 months now and I must admit I haver absolutely beat the heck out of it from a usage perspective. I put this thing through the worst of the worst to increase the probability of its failure in under the thirty day return policy. I am still using it to this day, every day almost. This subcompact 3in1 machine has exceeded my expectations regarding duty cycle, quality of machine housing, display readout, and ease of use for thimble brain novices like myself. A few things I would have better preference on/advice to manufacturer/customer when considering are: 1. Length of leads could be a bit longer however the size of the machine makes up f this 2. The wire feed/flux socket/plug on unit is very fragile. *** Customers should consider purchasing a cart to keep unit off of ground to keep leds/sockets better protected. That's all I have - as I said the overall quality of the unit has surprised me ...and as a beginner, not trying to brag, I have in three months: repaired two exhaust systems on vehicles, fabricated a metal gate for my four legged friends at my home, fabricated a log dolly for myself, repaired fender on my car trailer, even wrote my name on a 15lb sledge hammer because I was bored. All in all - I'd highly recommend this product to anyone who is starting out in this field, Thanks Tooliom!!!

Im happy with the performance for regular 110v use. My only complaint is the front bezzle uses a sticker that was not fully adhered. I was able to apply pressure to stick it back down but it could very likely work itself back up. Might need a film of epoxy to permanently re affix the sticker to the bezel. Machine worked very well and I was able to get good results.

Love this for all small DIY projects at home, I'm not a welder but picked it up and got a little training and now use this at home for small things and love it.

La mera mera ! Cómprala

Best little welder I’ve ever used. There is t much it can’t do.

the welder works. I have to play with the settings and practice lots to get a good weld joint as I've only welded a few time in my life. so far im happy with the unit

This welder works great, once you find the right wire speed and voltage for the thickness of the metal it is very easy to use. Replaced and repaired and entire rocker panel and have no complaints.

I try both mig and stick and not bad. Very light to carry. For this welding machine need to read all the instructions. And adjustments
