Review: Great product, powerful for all you need - I just weld DIY and at a shop, and it has been a fantastic welder. Goes up to 1/2in on 220v, and 80 on 110v. Welds what I need it to. Have a professional trailer welder at my shop who has a miller and engine driven trailblazer and he prefers to use my forney 180st so he doesn’t have to run his engine driven welder and it’s lightweight and easy to use. I would recommend if you don’t have 220v getting another adapter for a generator (if you have one) the circular plug in not sure of the name. Only problem was not with the machine just on my end I didn’t have correct breaker so I kept shutting the power off at 80amps with 110v so just make sure you have all the right electrical or generator when you wanna run higher amps. Other than that the machine is great! Looking at getting the forney 410 220 mp welder someday! Forney has excellent welders! Review: Buy this if you want good price and a great cheaper machine. - Didn't know what to expect. Being a cheap DC welder, I had my expectations set very low. Let me tell you, this is an amazing little machine. Its not as nice as some of the brand name welders for 10x the price. But I was welding 3/16 steel with 3/16 7018 turned all the way up (3/16 rod is a little much for this guy to be honest) and it did the entire inside of the box 34"x36"x6" for my fuel tank. Never skipped a beat, never hit the thermal protection. I did give it plenty of time to keep cool though. Burned 4 rods back to back at a time. The fan is a little noisy, and never shuts off. But the thing is amazingly light. Now all this was done on 220. I have a small wire feed for any 110 projects I may need to do. With smaller rod this has no issue blowing holes through the 3/16 plate (screwing around)! ## Features - [POWERFUL] -Welds up to 1/2 inch mild steel - amerage range: 10-90 amps for 120 volts; 10-180 amps for 230 volts. - [VERSATILE] - Easy start technology makes every strike easy and eliminates the frustration of your electrode sticking.

Also purchased a Simder ARC-200. This welder is 1/3 the size of the Forney, 1/3 the price, and out performs this Forney, especially on 120 volt outlets. ## Frequently Bought Together - FORNEY Easy Weld 180 Amp Stick Welder 120/230 Volt - Forney 32005 E7014 Welding Rod, 3/32-Inch, 5-Pound - VASTOOLS Welding Chipping Hammer with Coil Spring Handle,10.5",Cone and Vertical Chisel,10" Wire Brush --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/125534444-forney-easy-weld-180-amp-stick-welder-120-230-volt](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/125534444-forney-easy-weld-180-amp-stick-welder-120-230-volt) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
