A portable stick welder can be the perfect tool for automotive repairs, small fabrication projects, equipment fixes, and general metalwork around the garage or shop. It gives DIYers a way to handle brackets, tabs, exhaust pieces, small frames, trailer repairs, farm equipment, gates, and other random projects without needing to haul everything to a welding shop. For anyone who works on cars or likes building things, a compact welder can open the door to repairs and custom work that would otherwise be tough to tackle at home.
Amazon’s Prime Day sale brings the Tooliom 135A Portable Stick Welder down to $47 from its usual $76 price, which is a 38% discount on a compact 110V welder that runs on standard household current. It’s designed to handle 6011 and 6013 electrodes and can be used on mild steel, cast iron, stainless steel, and hard surfacing. Tooliom also lists it as a 2-in-1 machine for stick welding or lift TIG, although the lift TIG torch is not included.
The portability of this welder is one of its best features. The adjustable shoulder strap makes it easier to move around a garage, jobsite, driveway, or small shop, while the inverter power system helps keep the machine compact. It also has adjustable arc force and hot-start settings, which can help beginners and casual users fine-tune the arc depending on the rod and material. The optional VRD setting is designed to reduce voltage for added safety, while turning it off can make starting the arc easier.
This isn’t a high-end professional welder for heavy industrial work, but for small automotive repairs, home projects, light fabrication, and learning the basics, it’s a low-cost way to add welding capability for under $50.
“Perfect for the home or small business on the go,” said one happy buyer. “The variable amperage can be fine tuned to the material and rods used. Great price and it’s lightweight.”
Another shopper said, “I’m a first time welder, and it really works. I’ve made welds that can’t be broken.”
