FAQs
The Heizo Mini Stick Welder is an ultra-portable and lightweight welding machine that allows you to weld anywhere. It features an inverter IGBT technology for a more stable arc and adjustable hot strike arc force. The machine has an over-current protection function and anti-stick design. It comes with an electrode holder, earth clamp, connector plug and carry bag.
This mini welder can handle welding mild steel from 24 gauge up to 1/4 inch thick. It has sufficient amperage and arc force to weld thinner metals like sheet metal as well as thicker steels. The adjustable hot start helps prevent sticking on thicker metals during start-up.
On a full charge, the built-in lithium-ion battery can deliver up to 150 watts over 2.5 hours of welding time. This portable runtime makes it ideal for welding projects away from an outlet. The battery recharges in 2-3 hours.
Safety is built into this welder’s design. It has an over-current protection function that automatically cuts power if the machine overheats. The body remains cool during use thanks to its insulating handle. The arc force adjustment prevents sticking to the workpiece.
The main advantages are its ultra-portable size, built-in battery for cordless operation, stable arc performance, and ability to weld thin and thick material. Its small size allows you to weld in tight spaces other welders can’t access.
For mild steel, the Heizo Mini can weld up to 1/8 inch thick in a single pass. It has sufficient penetrating arc power to fuse the joint properly without multiple passes. For thinner steel, it has enough amperage to achieve deep weld penetration.
No, the Heizo Mini Welder is designed for welding mild steel and carbon steel only. It does not have the advanced features needed for welding aluminum or stainless steel. This welder is best suited for hobbyists welding carbon steel projects and repairs.
This mini welder uses 1.6mm–2.5mm electrode diameters. The electrode holder ensures a tight grip on these sized filler rods. It works best with general purpose E6013 and E6011 electrodes.
Yes, its small size, light weight and built-in battery makes the Heizo Mini handy for welding auto body panels and repairs. It allows you to weld vehicle sheet metal up to 22 gauge in thickness. The adjustable hot start prevents sticking on dirty rusty car metal.
This portable welder has a 20% duty cycle rating at maximum 150 amp output. This means you can weld for 2 minutes out of every 10 minute period before allowing the welder to cool. A light indicates when the duty cycle has been exceeded.
