God I love this soooooooooooo much.
Learned to weld back in the 70's on old oil cooled Oxford 3 phase welders and have been disappointed by the buzz boxes I've had to suffer over the last 30 odd years. Bought this to found out what inverter machines are like. All I can say is wow. I had to have my old SIP welder on 90 amps to get 2.5mm 6013's to run at all properly. I can set this to 60 amps and get far better results. The arc is so smooth and powerful and easy to strike and the slag inclusions that I occasionally got before are a thing of the past. This is the best machine I've ever welded with. I don't normally do reviews but had to sing the praises of my new favourite toy.Read full review

Excellent Little Welder!
I bought this welder on the strength of all the great reviews, there were loads of cheaper welders with similar features, but i'm pleased to say, i'm glad I bought this one!
its an excellent easy to use little welder, and is very light and portable.
I bought this to weld some Stainless Steel, and it welded it with ease and at a lower amp setting.
Just need to buy the Tig Torch now, but i'm sure it will be great at Tig Welding also.Read full review

The dogs doo dahs....
This thing is amazing, so easy to use, nice smooth arc, small, light, portable, good quality long leads. Carry case is very sturdy. When I first fired it up with a 6013 rod that needed 120 Amps on my old sip welder, 100 amps on the thermal arc and it blew a hole straight through 3mm steel, down to 60 amps and it’s lovely!! Not the cheapest out there, stick it on your credit card, you won’t regret it!!! Negatives?? I’m struggling to think of one, saving for a tig torch for it next 👍 Read full review

Great little welder
I bought this welder which was recommended by an engineer who uses one each day at work and swears by it. I bought one to teach myself welding and it's very easy to operate and use. If your thinking of buying a compact and portable welder either for work or home use, this will suit your needs for those smaller welding projects. Read full review

THERMAL ARC 175 SE
you can see the build quality is good. stick welds smooth, and the lift tig is easy to start, i think it strikes on the 5 amp minimum and then goes up to what it's set on, others i've used with higher minimum amps are just not usable, 30 or 40 amps at the tip just makes it stick bad. works fine on 13 amp plug, i'm glad the high input amps in the specs didn't put me off.

Powerful bit of kit
Great little welder, powerful for somet that is both light and small. Nice long leads,easy to set up and use. I welded 1/2" mild steel effortlessly on less than half its total available output. Highly recommended from me.Read full review

New to welding
Bought this welder after getting a Lidl second hand one from someone. 2nd hand one was pile of 💩. Had lesson from friend on how to very basic weld with it and struggled. Now I have had a go with this thermal welder, I am amazed at its quality of weld! After playing around with ampere setting to get right weld for stick, I feel confident that I can do jobs I need with it! This review is based on machine being one day old! But I’m confident after a few more lessons I have made the right choice. Time served welders I salute you, your job is safe with me at the arc! Read full review

Thermal Arc 175
Fantastic little welder. Really well made and all features are simple and most importantly well made !. The earth and electrode clamps are far superior to anything else at this price, there are similar products that have digital amp levels (unnecessary) but this is just solid, well built and really dependable.
I'm very happy with this Welder Read full review

Metalworker
An excellent bit of kit. Strikes up with ease and burns a 4mm rod no problem, great duty cycle on a 3.2mm rod. Very neat and sturdy carry case. Well worth the money.
