I bought this stuff for a couple of small repairs and a project that didn't turn out quite as I had hoped. Despite my YouTube University degree, my welding skills are lacking. The welding unit is from Amazon, the famous TRQWH brand, and it did well for my small repairs. The helmet is also from Amazon, YESWELDER brand. Just make sure it's set for welding, not grinding.(I forgot to switch it back after grinding, won't forget again...) Gloves, rods and magnet from Harbor Freight. It was fun to try, but I can't get the hang of it.
