TLDR: Hold welding electrodes at 45degree angle for strong welds and for 0.15mm nickle 35-40 welding energy Received it In a normal time frame, in like a month, not too bad. In the package there is the unit itself and all the components you need for it to work. They include a little barrel jack that you can use to connect a pedal switch, but you don't have to have it. They Also include some extra mosfet, in the case of you burning them out. They might come in handy down the road. The welder works off of a 12v power source. I used a 12 v car battery with 460A of power, but you could probably go with anything that can do above 180-200A.one thing that is kind of annoying is that the included leads for connecting to the battery are short, buuut you can't really complain for 18 eur and also they would be perfect if u used a lipo. For my first welds I used 0.15 pure nickle strip but no matter how high I set the welding energy it didn't want to stick to the battery. BUT after a little bit of trial and error I figured out that you have to hold the welding electrodes at an about 45degree angle and not straight up. After that discovery pretty much all the welds held strong. I have used it to make this little battery on the picture and for it 35-40 welding energy works the best. OH and I use the auto mode on the welder, witch means if I connect the electrodes to the nickel, some beeps sound and it welds. Haven't tried the pedal but in my opinion this way works pretty well.
