Details

The MIG180 MIG Welder is a 180 Amp Portable Inverter MIG Welder with a 240v single phase input and a durable metal feed assy. With optional MMA (Stick welding) and Spool on Gun for welding aluminium this is a great addition to your workshop.

Built with class leading Siemens IGBT's - Not inferior Mosfets
Metal wire feed assy - Provides consistent wire feed
Infinite fine control of welding voltage/amperage - What is this?Enables you to finely control the welding power in very small steps - traditional old fashioned MIG welders only had coarse voltage settings I.E Setting 1 = too little power, 2 = too much power
Provides very smooth low splatter welds on all steels and aluminium due to its inverter technology
180 Amp Output, welding range 30-180 amps
High duty cycle - 60% @ 150 amps, 35% @ 180 amps
16A 240v input required for welding at 180amps , 160 amp MIG output at 13A input
Euro style MIG torch - What is this?Euro torches can be easily removed and replaced - they give a more consistent wire feed than permanently fitted torches as found on many DIY machines
5 year collect and return UK warranty - What is this?in the unlikely event of machine failure, R-Tech will pay to collect, repair and return the Mig welder to you quickly- No quibble warranty
Complete package includes, R-Tech I-MIG180 MIG Welder, 3M MB15 Air Cooled MIG Torch, Earth Lead, Gas Hose, Mains Cable, Gas Regulator, Owners Manual
Easy welding of aluminium with optional spool on gun. Note Pure Argon gas is required for welding aluminium - See the MIG Welder Spool Gun Videos

Well built. Would recommend to all.
30 August 2024

Too early to communicate not used as yet
26 August 2024

I?ve not used my machine much yet but purchased it after using a friends. It will be used for general workshop repairs and fabrication. I?m just a diy guy. The quality is good and suited to professional use.
16 August 2024

Love the product, really easy to use, set up easy from the book. Although you don?t supply gas the guys were great helping me find a local supplier. I did want a volts/wire feed gauge sticker for under the cover of the machine., which I?ve seen on ma Hines before but you don?t supply.
14 August 2024

I am still getting used to this welder but the quality of manufacture and ease of use are excellent.
26 July 2024

Great little welder, very pleased with product and advise i had from the sales guy.
25 July 2024

I have only used it a few times but seems good so far after I figured the settings out seems of good quality I am using it to learn welding as a hobby as I imagine many other are.
24 July 2024

Great little welder. Perfect for a skilled diy user.
18 July 2024

On my car projects Anyone 100%
29 May 2024

Only used it for a couple of jobs - building a trolley for the welder and repairing a small area of car bodywork - but it seems very easy to produce nice welds, and it's very adjustable. Taught my 15 year-old to lap weld 3mm steel pretty nicely in about two minutes flat...so it's a very 'helpful' machine.
20 May 2024

Compact and functional. Excellent machine for car body work. No complaints.
17 May 2024

Great bit of kit
10 May 2024

Bought the welder to learn how to weld I have no experience but I was able to make some decent welds with it everything works as it should (far as I can tell) I?m very happy with it
25 April 2024

I am making a greenhouse with a curved roof at the moment and it will be used for a wide variety of jobs after that. i would recomend this welder to home users and profesionals alike because of its versatility and light weight compaired to the old transformer one i had before. The build quality is very good with all the controls easy to set and the instructions easy to follow.
22 April 2024

Used for home hobby, automotive and general fabrication work. Highly recommended for both inexperienced and experienced users, with a superb range of easy to access features. Product quality is unrivalled at this price point.

19 January 2024

I use the welder for DIY home use, it is very easy to use on a range of metal thicknesses. I think tech welders are top quality ! I would recommend to anyone that asked !
14 December 2023

I changed my mind and went for the R-Tech 181, a brilliant piece of equipment, takes the guess work out of any welding project, but also allows for manual tweaking of any setting requirement. Very easy to operate, fantastic quality.
10 December 2023

Excellent welders and cannot recommend highly enough
04 December 2023

The 180 mig I ordered is mainly used for thinner materials where my arc welder is appropriate. I would recommend this machine to anyone looking for a good quality low cost mig machine
27 November 2023

The R-Tech 180 mig welder is ideal for someone looking for a portable mig welder, I purchased the SIF 0.8mm gasless wire hoping to avoid the need for a gas cylinder and for outdoor use, so far I?m very impressed with the results.
26 November 2023

For personal use in the garage only used twice so far but seem a far superior welder to my old one, seems very well made really looking forward to get some welding with it
25 November 2023

works straight out of the box. The manual is good, nice graf guide for the settings for different wire sizes & steel thickness. Minimum weld splatter. Seems to be well built, time will tell but all in all fantastic machine.
24 November 2023

Be nice to see voltage on display before Striking an arc - otherwise looking good (Only had a quick go with it so far)
24 November 2023

To restore an old car plus any other vehicles I need to maintain. Would recommend the product to anyone who was interested in owning such a product. Quality is excellent and performance is great.

15 November 2023

I use the welder for agricultural use, its well made and looks a quality product
10 November 2023

As yet not used welder but when unpacking and assembling they are; well built sturdy machine which is portable. Machine setup quick and straight forward and reckon will be ideal for intended use, light fabrication work and auto restoration. Would recommend to others and friends, if looking for a welder or suggest viewing the R Tech website to look at machines available.

22 October 2023

Within the first week I used it to arc and mig weld part - general hobby stuff. Very impressed with overall build quality. 5Year warrant and R-tech being confident to show off their metal wire feeder mechanism is a great boost in confidence to pruchase this welder. Would definately recommend.
16 October 2023

How do i use it? General fab, mainly in my unit, not overworked mainly 3-4mm box stuff To whom would i recommend?: i have already shown demo'd it to 4 folk and i know 2 are buying this week coming 🤘 What do think of the quality?

Well made & practical welder. Variable amperage with led readout makes it easy to figure out and adjust the settings. I?ll certainly be recommending this product, manufacturer/supplier to my mates in my car restoration club.
01 October 2023

First TIG - Now MIG! Have used RTech for all my home and business welding needs for many years. Never been other than blown away by their service and helpfulness. Advice freely given and suggestions given - generally advice which saves money. There really is no reason to go anywhere else. As a single phase welder - it behaves with the power and flexibility of 3 phase. Warranty is second to none.
30 September 2023

All good
30 September 2023

Best value for money welding equipment
27 September 2023

I use the welder for home and work projects Sold my old R-Tec unit to a work colleague for his projects never had any problems with it in the time I?ve owned it. Recommend your products to people when asked what I use.
25 September 2023

General Fabrication and vintage vehicle repair People who need to weld Very good
25 September 2023

Awesome welding machine, perfect for home projects and more.
25 September 2023

Used so far for fabrication, 3-6mm mild steel. Would recommend. Unit appears well built
24 September 2023

Used principally for MIG welding on sculptures and my Land Rover chassis. I would recommend this to any hobby welder, although with it is no doubt capable of full time use. Great quality and appears well made. The metal roller mechanism is a great improvement on cheaper machines I have used. Weld quality is good, with less splatter than I?ve been used to. Highly recommend.
24 September 2023

So far everything looks good. Not tested it yet. Have a few industrial gates to repair then back to my work crazy stools and lamps.
21 September 2023

28 August 2023

Great quick delivery, packaged well . The best customer service I have ever dealt with , they have gone above and beyond what they had to , I will certainly be ordering from them again in the future

14 August 2023

I've Perched forca classic car restoration I would recommend to diy and professional welders. Very good quality mig welder
11 August 2023

This is very easy to set up , and really easy to use, it didn't take long to get the settings right for me , was extremely shocked how well it worked, I would say it's the best welder iv used, you do get what you pay for.
10 August 2023

I am a "hobby" user (not a professional). The product appears be be very high quality, but I am no expert! I would like a gas only feature on the torch as per my old Sealey Supermig: this is when you half press the trigger and you get gas feed without wire feed - it is an excellent feature.
05 August 2023

Diy use,would recommend to anyone,build quality is exemplary.
05 August 2023

The welder came very well packed and the trolley was easily put together and well made. Welder is easy to set up and use in both mig & arc welding formats . This is my 1st mig so still getting to grips with it but impressed so far ! Would highly recommend it !
05 August 2023

I would recommend the 180 for any hobbyist or car enthusiast brilliant mache which gives you great control.
04 August 2023

180 mig works for me. Car repair to light steel fabrication. Where your not welding none stop.
02 August 2023

At home hobby welding up to 6mm normally. I think most hobby welders would find this more than suitable for their needs. Brilliant and would recommend
02 August 2023

Great quality machine for me, a hobby diy'er.l would recommend it to anyone looking at this spec.
01 August 2023

I have not given it a lot of use so far but it is obviously a lot better than my previous (cheap) MIG welder.
31 July 2023

Good service and delivery. No problems with this item
31 July 2023

Welder seems really well built, quality accessories and the multi adjustment is great.
30 July 2023

Bought to replace a very old SIP machine (bought in the 90's) and a newer very basic *** *** MIG. Am using this and the R-Tech plasma cutter I bought last year to restore a 70's VW T2. Anyone in the market for a "hobby" MIG welder should consider the R-Tech 180 MIG. Lots of control and *** should you ever need it. I think the tool is high quality and nice and compact compared to the 30 year old 150 amp MIG it replaces which is 4 times the physical size.
29 July 2023

Home/diy/hobby/occasional use. Great for my requirements, I couldn?t comment on more serious applications.
28 July 2023

Great machine welds good and well built,the staff at Rtech are spot on they know there job
28 July 2023

Excellent product for sensible money
27 July 2023

Results are excellent and build quality seems very good.
24 July 2023

the welder is to be used in manufacturing wrough iron garden products.The purchase was recomended by another of your customers and we allready have one of your plasma cutters which also works fine
21 July 2023

Great wee welder
21 July 2023

Would recommend for anyone looking for a MIG machine for automotive use.
20 July 2023

I use for car restoration hobby. I would recommend to friends It is early days but it is a massive improvement on my previous machine, with excellent control
20 July 2023

Welder is being used for metal work relating to our building company and the second welder is being used for the construction of another race car chassis Great product Easy to use
19 July 2023

I've been doing car restoration for many years and these welders are the best I've ever used
17 July 2023

100% recommended the welder very high quality and easy to use
15 July 2023

THe machine will be used for general welding but mainly car bodywork. I haven't had chance to fully use the machine yet and so I am unable to comment any further
14 July 2023

would recomend to any work shop users. looks good quality,solid build.
14 July 2023

Can?t fault them
14 July 2023

I would total recommend this welder
14 July 2023

As a first time, youtube taught diy welder I needed a machine that was predicable and reliable. Having read many reviews of many different Welders from numerous suppliers, *** was a clear winner...by a mile. Having now used the mig180 for a few days I'm not at all disappointed. As a beginner I needed a machine that was fairly simple but I also needed it to be able to tackle a broad array of different projects. Frankly, it's been fantastic, and although my skill levels are still beginner level, the ease of use and predictability is giving me the confidence to improve. I would genuinely recommend this welder to anyone, especially if you're looking to getting into welding as a first timer...it's a great machine, which as an avid, all things build related youtube viewer, I know it's used by a lot of both professional and ** users. My only cautionary tale as a novice is to remember to factor in the cost (especially the **) and local availability of a decent gas bottle...the little ones from the likes of Toolstation won't cut it in my opinion. Be prepared for the best part of ?200, but saying that, once you have a full sized bottle you're set for years of happy welding!
13 July 2023

Excellent
11 July 2023

Small hobby work
11 July 2023

Great welder
11 July 2023

I use the welder for bodywork repairs on motor vehicles. Quality is excellent and would highly recommend it.
10 July 2023

Great welder, really good bit of kit. Soo much better than my old MIG
10 July 2023

Turned up next day unpacked it and had a quick go and it was brilliant and all parts were good quality and looked good wailing , I should have changed my welder years ago I didn?t realise how bad my old one was I will be able to get on welding my mini back together now
10 July 2023

First impressions are very good
07 July 2023

I was looking for a new welder on the farm well pleased with my purchase.

29 June 2023

Hobby welding, very easy to use really good quality.
29 June 2023

A brilliant compact & powerful welder, quality is very good and i wouldnt be surprised if this welder lasted me 10+ years
25 June 2023

This welder is the best I've owned, I was worried at first due to it being small but it welds better than the ** ones I've owned. It's quiet so I can hear myself think. I don't get half as many splatter burns 🤣🤣. Highly recommended
25 June 2023

I?m a hobby welder, and occasionally work maintenance , this machine for me is like ?night & day difference - easy to use - I?ve only ever used to MMA & borrowed a ,Gasless mig - I would recommend the machine to anyone who welds- professional or ** alike The build quality is great, as is the quantity of the weld results - I can feel a Tig welder in the future too!
24 June 2023

For home use hobby wise. Would recommend it to all my friends. Good quality and we'll made.
22 June 2023

Great would recommend this machine
22 June 2023

At first use I could see a big difference , for the better ,as you would expect from a new machine .my welds are much less blobby and more uniform .I would recommend this machine to anyone who is just starting to weld or a seasoned welder that would use it regular, The welder has the same quality as all there range and offer a good back up repair service ,just the job for me
20 June 2023

Purchased this to be light enough to carry but powerful enough to do heavy duty repairs. I would recommend this to a broad range of users from hobby to professional. So far has proven to be the usual high quality I have come to expect from R-tech.
19 June 2023

Not used it yet but quality look's excellent
11 June 2023

Have not used mig yet but have seen plenty of reviews good product

Home use but I think could be used professionally excellent quality
24 May 2023

good quality, simple to use and performs well
24 May 2023

So far so good. A really nice, portable inverter welder hat seems well made and should last a fair while. Alongside the technical support and service offered by R-Tech it should all be a trouble free experience. all good.
22 May 2023

Awesome welder but it should be as its not a cheap one.
22 May 2023

Haven't used as yet but will recommend to friends quality looks 2nd to none

10 May 2023

Car and agricultural repairs as hobby To any one that needs a 240 volt mig welder Excellent quality

05 May 2023

Great quality, I use it for home projects and it seems good for the price.
30 April 2023

I've only just begun to use the welder, but already it seems to be great little welder. Easy to operate and a nice smooth action which produces good welds. I use for my personal hobby, restoring vintage motorcycles and Land-Rovers. I'd certainly recommend to others, as this was recommended to me.
26 April 2023

Very pleased
26 April 2023

26 March 2023

Good welder , easy to use.
26 March 2023

Used for hobby work on car restoration and general fabrication. The welder quality is excellent and easy to set up and use. The mains, torch and earth leads are all a good length for work flexibility. I am very pleased and can recommend it.
24 March 2023

Good quality product
24 March 2023

Brilliant piece of kit,highly recommended.
24 March 2023

I would rather buy a new handbag , however my hubby loved his new fancy welder .for his birthday . Arrived as stated . One very happy guy .
22 March 2023

A++
21 March 2023

Great
14 March 2023

This welder will make doing car bodywork much easier, so controllable plus had plenty of power to weld even 10mm plate, I've not tried heavier yet. Highly recommended.
08 March 2023

The Welder is very high quality & easy to use. I liked the review videos of it & found them very useful. I've used it to replace 2 separate Mig & MMA welders, allowing me to free up space & increase my efficiency.
07 March 2023

I use the ***er for car repairs. It is very easy to set up and produces an excellent ***. I would recommend it to anybody. Very well made product.
05 March 2023

1st class product, I wanted something good for hobby welding. The welder was personally recommended to me by two separate people (who already own the welder) who's welding ability massively exceeds my own
05 March 2023

I am restoring a custom pickup & this meets all my demands
02 March 2023

Ideal product for our current needs
01 March 2023

Product works great
28 February 2023

Excellent quality product. Not used it much yet but what I have done is brilliant from light sheet metal ( car panels ) to 5 Mm plate
27 February 2023

Excellent quality product, easy to use with clear instructions make it a pleasure to handle. I use the welder for restoring classic cars and other hobby welding jobs and its range of settings is ideal for pretty much anything I need it to do. I?d recommend it to both beginners and experienced professionals and everyone in between
21 February 2023

great
19 February 2023

Weld repairs and modifications to motorcycles and cars. All my friends and acquaintances. Very good quality.
19 February 2023

A great compact MIG welder with a good duty cycle.
18 February 2023

MIG 180 purchased, very impressed with build quality and how it welds. Not as cheap as some but you get what you pay for and this equipment is worth every penny.
16 February 2023

I will use the welder for personal fabrication and a future extension which requires welding on site of the steels. I would recommend this to family and friends who need a good welder . I am happy with the build quality but only use it to test it out so cant comment on how it runs over a longer ** .
16 February 2023

Very good bit of kit, very powerful for the size of the machine, very portable. Well chuffed.
15 February 2023

Very satisfied.
09 February 2023

Well built welder no rough edges smooth wire feed and controllable voltage. This isn't a negative but I struggle to see what the LED display adds to this machine, it only shows the voltage when you're welding so unless I am missing the point you can never see what it's reading. I was expecting it to show the voltage before you welded but this takes nothing away from the machine it's excellent without it.
09 February 2023

Have not had it long enough to rate fully but first impressions are very good
06 February 2023

I tried out the machine yesterday & I?m really impressed with it & the spool ** I got for doing aluminium welding is a brilliant item & so fast
24 January 2023

The product will be used for repairs to car bodywork for restoration purposes Also we are involved in club level Motorsport so the product will be used for fabrication of parts The product looks to be of good quality, I have friends who use similar machines and recommend them
22 January 2023

Mig180 used for classic car repair, the dial settings give full control of power & heat going into the old metal & is a gamechanger from my old ***er. Very easy to use out of the box & the online *** setting chart is a great point to start. The spool-on ** will also let me braze *** panel seams to add strength at a much lower heat so have one of those ordered as well.
18 January 2023

Very good
17 January 2023

Extremely good welder for the money, very happy
17 January 2023

The product welded well, under the guidance of Martin, I only hope I can replicate the weld we did, it looks like it is easy to set up and use. The components look to be of very high quality and I hope will give me many years of trouble-free welding.
15 January 2023

Seems good so far 👍
11 January 2023

Brilliant
11 January 2023

seems to work very well for such a compact machine
05 January 2023

The R Tech MIG 180 was purchased to replace a budget MIG and MMA set following other good reviews. I even checked with 3 x eBay sellers who had sold their welder recently and all 3 came back singing praises which was reassuring. The welder is very good on MIG and a pleasure to use. The MMA facility is amasing and using the same rods as my old transformer welder it ** down perfect welds with the slag peeling up from one end - overall an impressive piece of kit
29 December 2022

I use it for car restoration. Very forgiving welder, especially for someone like me who has a lot to learn.
28 December 2022

Seems to be excellent so far
26 December 2022

Very useful bit of kit. Compact but very capable mig welder.
19 December 2022

I bought this welder to use for repairs to my van and I'm really happy with it 👍🏻
19 December 2022

Quality looks good not used it yet
19 December 2022

14 December 2022

Great product does exactly what it says on the tin. Great quality and sweet to use. The Three year warranty built into the price is a good idea for peace of mind.
12 December 2022

Great for my home workshop and around the farm. I have a poor electric supply but this machine achieves surprising things even on a 13amp supply. Also welds on really low amps so has been great for bodywork on my fleet of rusting vehicles!!
07 December 2022

Have not used the welder yet, but I?m sure it will be fine. I will be using it for home car fabrication, and if friends ask about the welder, I will recommend R-tech to them. The welder looks well made and has a long warranty for peace of mind.
29 November 2022

The Mig 180 looks like a very good product. So far I have used it to weld 3mm steel angle. It is far superior to the Machine mart Mig 135 welder that I have used previously. The bulit quality of the controls, wire loading area, earth clamp and torch are great. I would recommed the Mig 180 to any DIY welder or professional. For welding anying from cars to steel angle and box section. I have already completed my first project, a welding trolley for the Mig 180 and gas bottle. And looking forward to the next !
29 November 2022

Not used it yet. Purchased for future use.
28 November 2022

Brilliant machine
27 November 2022

Still sussing it out
26 November 2022

Really good product super simple to set up and use. Couldn?t recommend enough
25 November 2022

I have yet you use the welder so I can't say
23 November 2022

I am using the kit to learn welding and will add to it as money allows. The quality seems high and I like the honest reviews from your resident northern youtuber!
23 November 2022

I'm a new user to MIG Welding and I've found the machine very easy to use and set up. I'm using it in the restoration of an MGB. The welder feels nice and solid and the welding responds predictably to changes in settings.
21 November 2022

So far so good. Night and day improvement from my cheap Clarke machine I have used for years prior.
21 November 2022

perfect for our in house jobs
20 November 2022

Classic car restoration Have recommended to club members and friends. Build quality is right up there.
20 November 2022

The product appears very robust and functional and I have read good reviews about the welder. I am still awaiting arrival of a gas cylinder so at present have not used it yet.
20 November 2022

I haven't used it yet so can't really rate it
18 November 2022

Good quality
18 November 2022

A brilliant product just as good as I was told by people I know who have them
16 November 2022

Use my welder daily would recommend R tech welders great quality
16 November 2022

With a mask and gloves! Site or farm level. Very good
15 November 2022

Great Mig , very smooth and easy to use controls , much better than my previous Mig .
14 November 2022

Grat service thanks
13 November 2022

Having found out how to set up, product seems good quality so far.
13 November 2022

Using it as a hobbyist for car repairs. Looks first rate, haven?t got going yet but having had a go at The Machine Shop expecting great things
13 November 2022

Very good, comprehensive set of parts, easy to set up and happy with welds so far.
13 November 2022

I am a hobby welder; I have not used it yet so cannot comment on how good it is or if I would recommend it, but it looks good. Should have come with the plug fitted for health and safety reasons
12 November 2022

Good quality and welds brilliantly. Used mostly to repair my classic car. Knocks spots of my old 130amp sealy welder
12 November 2022

I?m a hobbyist Car restoration/customiser it?s just the ticket
09 November 2022

Fantastic Welder
02 November 2022

General farm repairs. Good quality.
25 October 2022

Recommended by a specialist friend, I was so impressed how user friendly the unit controls and smoothness of the invertor power supply was compared to the basic units I used in the *** We will be using this unit for car and motorbike frame repairs.
20 October 2022

Welding and fabrication with fixing farm equipment and building work bench. I would highly recommend this product
18 October 2022

Light workshop use happy to recommend to others appears sound quality and 3 year guarantee is a comfort
17 October 2022

for welding
16 October 2022

Occasional hobby use.Would recommend to colleagues.Very good quality.
14 October 2022

I bought this welder to weld thin material based on good reviews online, perhaps not the cheapest but seems to be well made and initial impression is positive.
13 October 2022

Very good quality product for use in the workshop.
10 October 2022

Great welder, would recommend to anyone. I use on farm machinery and motor vehicles and this unit is perfect.
09 October 2022

Use it at home on tractor and cars great wee welder would recommended to any one very happy so far with it
06 October 2022

We use our four 180 migs for absolutely everything as they are just fantastic. I recommend them to anyone who is interested in welding. The quality is great and they are simple to use which makes them great for teaching novice welders with.
05 October 2022

Good quality, any hobbyist looking for a mig welder or professional that needs a handy welder
04 October 2022

Have not had a chance to use it yet but comparing it with my current welder it is better built with attention to detail and quality parts that is why I bought it. I wanted one of the other products you sell a portamig but it was too heavy for me now I am in my 60s.
04 October 2022

If you are looking for a great welder at a fair price look no further the R-Tech.
02 October 2022

Well packaged. Appears to be good quality. Using it for hobby repair work. Quick to get working and produce good welds on a Land Rover chassis repair. Very satisfied so far.
22 September 2022

I use the ***er for car body repairs and general ***ing and it produces far better ***s than my old ***. I always thought I was rubbish at MIG ***ing but all the time it was my old ***er that was the problem. My ***ing now is very good. I liked the down to earth videos on your website. The ***er is well made, easy to operate and with infinite adjustment of voltage and wire speed makes for a much better ***. Small adjustments make a big difference to the *** quality.I even enjoy ***ing now.
20 September 2022

Very pleased with the quality . Good clear instructions. I just work in my garage ( nothing too serious)and the mig180 seems to be ideal for me . Worked great straight out of the box
19 September 2022

Very good and powerful
15 September 2022

Great intermediate unit. Robust enough for most general fab jobs, but delicate enough for car body work - really light and portable unit.
07 September 2022

Absolutely brilliant welder. Totally happy. Great service from the sales team. Thank you.
06 September 2022

It's been used welding cor ten steel to make planters, two seasoned welder friends have commented on what a good MIG welder it is.
30 August 2022

Excellent product and perfectly priced. Thank you R-Tech!
30 August 2022

Use is for home hobby use, I would recommend to anyone who is looking for this type of welder, the quality of the machine is excellent. I did a lot of research before I bought it and can say after getting to grips with it, I am far from disappointed.
30 August 2022

A fantastic piece of kit, well made and better in every way than the Clarke unit which it replaced.
30 August 2022

I mainly use the MIG180 for general automotive fabrication & restoration. My other 180amp MIG, although reliable, lacks the subtlety & fine adjustment of the R-Tech unit. I bought the R-Tech unit as a back-up & for working with thinner gauge material. I also wanted something more portable, for when working away from the workshop. So far, it?s been a pleasure to weld with, I?ve been welding for 25 years, have welded upside down using a mirror to finish welding in roll cages, & have used many bits of kit, this is the most versatile I?ve used by far! If your considering your first MIG, buy one, if your an experienced welder, buy one!
28 August 2022

Ver good for the price. Most of my work is with car body steel around 1 mm thick, most machines lack fine adjustment in this lower power range but this machine has good control. I would have liked a horizontal wire spool and twin feed rollers but appreciate that?s probably beyond the price of this machine. Oh and a cover for the spool ** port.
25 August 2022

All good, would definitely recommend.
24 August 2022

First of all the product arrived incredibly well packed. Not only protecting it, but showing that R-Tech care. I bought the welder to restore my old Jaguar Mk2. I first tried it on some 0.6 mm steel - if it can weld that, it can deal with anything on my car. With minimal set up, it worked brilliantly. The arc is so stable that I can produce good results even with wire speed and voltage a off the optimum. I'd recommend the Mig 180 to anyone and everyone. I'm not an experienced or confident welder so, if it's easy for me to use, it's easy for anyone. It's early days yet, but my impression is that the quality is superb.
23 August 2022

im gona try and fix stuff around the home ect ,- recomend to almost every one , - it works !!
22 August 2022

Home hobby use only. good bit of kit and good on phone and on line advice
22 August 2022

This is a great little set, easy to use and gives great results, I love it!
22 August 2022

Great Machine easy setup for the hobbyists to the Pro 100% recommend
21 August 2022

Thanks for the great service
20 August 2022

Bought this for hobby welding and autos (car bodywork) as my other mig went to welder heaven, would recommend to any welder out there... the machine is very good quality I'm liking it 👍🏻
18 August 2022

I bought this welder mainly for car body work repairs. I am only a hobbyist, so have not had the chance to really use the welder yet, but I have made plenty of tests welds on 1mm thick steel and I found the welder very easy to set up in order to get the perfect weld - very ** without blowing through. I have made plenty of test ** welds and cannot be more pleased with the consistent results. The only real down side to the product i have found is that the led display does not display your amp setting until you start to weld, and of course once you are actually welding it is very difficult to look at the display. But like I have said, I had not trouble setting the welder up using just the knobs. The feed mechanism seems to work very well indeed, very consistent - which is very important for mig welding. So from my experience so far, I am very happy with it.
16 August 2022

I'm a custom fabricator and vehicle restorer. I purchased the 180 mig to replace an old transformer based welder that had served me well for the past decade but after my roof leaked onto it the decision was made to get a replacement from R-Tech. I've followed them for years and always seen friends and colleagues sing their praises........ And my word they were definitely right. This welder is so nice to use, the accuracy of the wire feed is just a joy to behold compared to my old machine. The quality of the construction and the way that it performs for the price is almost unbelievable.... It is actually a pleasure to weld with. I will be recommending R-tech to everyone.
09 August 2022

The mig 180 is excellent little ***er for any company that regularly needs to run a quick *** or even for that occasional special project we have now 5 sets in use around our depots for just that purpose, very reliable easy to use units that just get the job done.
02 August 2022

Great piece of kit, will certainly recommend to others. Great service from R-Tech team in particular ***
29 July 2022

Great build quality, smooth wire feed and nice torch. Initial impressions are that it?s going to be perfect for car body repair.
27 July 2022

Fab welder. Very much recommend this unit to anyone starting out and wanting a quality product.
26 July 2022

I've been looking around for a small MIG welder for use in my home shop for quite a while and kept seeing the R-Tech 180 come up in reviews and forum posts. Decided to go for it, the welder turned up the next day and it's performed flawlessly from day 1. Very happy customer.
25 July 2022

Purchased to replace a much older mig welder for classic car renovation. Very happy with the welder, which has a great choice of current and speed options for thinner materials. So far quality is excellent.
21 July 2022

Very impressed
21 July 2022

I do not use a ***er a lot, but make a few things (railings etc) and mend trailers, etc etc. The R-Tech 180 MIG with Argon, gives a great ***. Importantly the R-Tech team are there on the phone when you need support or repairs. They are a great company and will get all my future ***ing business.
19 July 2022

Again, looks good but I won?t be using it until my welding *** is complete.
18 July 2022

It's for home use as hobby
17 July 2022

Great bit of kit, really impressed as I?ve used much more expensive machines that haven?t been anywhere near as user friendly
17 July 2022

I ordered to replace a thirty odd year old *** 150! I find it far superior and smoother to use. I would completely recommend to anyone who welds either as a hobby or normal work shop use. I have been welding for 59 years most types of equipment including industrial welders!
16 July 2022

Home hobby retired plant fitter Any hobby garage with 13amp supply only Very good quality
14 July 2022

DIY car repair. Anyone who asked Looks good. But not had chance to try it out yet.
13 July 2022

We use this welder on light gauge sheet metal components where our large capacity machines are too heavy. We find it gives good professional stable welds if used within its duty cycle. We use it in our commercial engineering workshop and would recomend the welder as good value for money.
13 July 2022

Delighted to use this mig welder. I?m fairly new to mig welding, your product is extremely well constructed and easy to use.
13 July 2022

Great quality and very impressed with the very fast delivery and the ott packaging Bought as I need to weld my discovery , I?d recommend this product to anyone as it?s good kit
13 July 2022

Excellent
11 July 2022

Very sturdy machine and good quality.
08 July 2022

Good welder. Awsome for lighter work like car bodywork
06 July 2022

For a single phase welder at the price it is fantastic! Plenty power and very easy to get the set up running well! Look forward to using it on more projects!
06 July 2022

I'm using the welder to repair panels on my old t4. It's ideal for anyone doing this sort of job, great arc control and smooth as silk. Quality is excellent, the earth clamp for example has a flat braided copper conductor between the jaws and the contact points are also copper.
05 July 2022

Looks good but not put to use yet.
02 July 2022

Total novice welder , first machine I have ever bought after having a go with my friends mig. Great machine so far seems to be very good quality, very swift delivery and ease of use website. I will be using the mig as a hobby welder. Tried machine with a few different thicknesses of metal and handles it no problem up at 140 amps.
02 July 2022

I will be using the product for car restoration and will be running it from a generator. I have not used it yet but will be happy to comment further when I have done so.
29 June 2022

Used for general welding and repairs. First welds out of the box were the best I have done. Well built with nice design features. I'm sure it will last for ages.
27 June 2022

The best MIG welder I have ever had, perfect welds straight out of the box.
21 June 2022

Mig 180 is a great tool and I would recommend it to anyone who needs a portable MIG. Quality is excellent as with my other R-Tech machines.
21 June 2022

Such a nice machine to use
21 June 2022

I use this unit as a site welder. great little unit.
20 June 2022

Superb piece of kit really impressed 100% buy from this company
14 June 2022

Great product
14 June 2022

Great little welder
12 June 2022

I use this welder in the repair of my own and friends classic minis.
09 June 2022

Never welded before but my ride on mower deck was worn out and it would be *** plus for new one, so ?600 for a welder to fix it made sense. Simple to use, build quality seems good. Lots of fun too.
08 June 2022

I?m just a hobby welder and it?s exactly what I need brilliant welder and really good quality
07 June 2022

I am a keen diyer. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a quality machine, which should last well and is a joy to use. You can tell it is quality when it arrives as the box is so strongly made with lifting handles. The quality throughout is very high.
04 June 2022

Using as hobby minor repairs simple to set up and use
03 June 2022

Brilliant bit of kit. I brought this as my Sealey Mighty Mig 150 packed up and what a ** of an upgrade it is. Could not recommend more for a beginner/intermedia!
03 June 2022

I've done it
31 May 2022

To be true not tried it yet but have used rtech before no problem
31 May 2022

Its being used to help restore a couple of cars and is ideal for this , easy to use and made to a high spec.
28 May 2022

Haven't tried the mig welder yet but looks amazing and going off the tig welder that i bought from r tech I can only imagine its going to be brilliant
27 May 2022

I've only had chance to use it once, before being hounded for this review! but does seem easy to use and good quality..
25 May 2022

I?m a beginner, so can?t really comment on welder performance. I have started with 0.6mm wire and all is well with the welder. YouTube videos by *** truly excellent. Technical support also excellent. Perhaps could offer to pre-wire either 13 or 16 amp plugs as a cost option before delivery. Thanks.
23 May 2022

Very powerful machine welds very smooth and effective and a bargin price Best welder I?ve used
21 May 2022

Great Welder!
20 May 2022

I've used it to repair my pick up and after using it I'd recommend one to any one who needs to do light welding
19 May 2022

A massive improvement on our previous set up! couldn't be more pleased!
17 May 2022

Ive never left a review before but wanted to for this... The mig 180 arrived on time and very well packaged. It is waay better build quality than the "hobby" welders ive seen/used and also better in real life than i expected. I havent had a chance to use it yet as waiting for gas but it all looks great. All attachments like 3m torch are strong and well made. The ground lead is very sturdy too. All metal wire feed mechanism is much better than the usual plastic... Could it be improved? Yes... The small earth lead on the case door was rubbing on the edge of the case when i opened the door so had to loosen the nut to move it slightly. I know its a short wire so it doesnt catch on the large wire rolls when they are fitted but maybe another 5mm wouldnt hurt to stop it chaffing. Also a nice touch would be to supply rubber/plastic caps to protect unused sockets like the spool ** feed. I potentially wont be using this for a while so i've had to pop some electrical tape over it to protect it from workshop dust etc. Other than that i cant wait to try it out.
15 May 2022

GOOD QUALITY PORTABLE WELDER
14 May 2022

This purchase was a toss up between the *** 162 (which I've had before), the Autostar 160, and the R-Tech 180. I always thought the *** was really good, and compared to my previous *** 151EN it was really good. But what sealed the deal for me was the No quibble guarantee from R-Tech. Also seeing R-Tech commenting on youtube channels where their brand is being used gave me the impression that they care about their image and product. So how does it weld? Completely blows the *** and the *** out of the water. Once you have the settings dialled in, it's just plain sailing delivering consistent, repeatable results so that you spend more time getting the job done, and less time (no time for me) playing with amps and wire speed. And you get a regulator and several replacement tips; you don't get that with *** or ***. 11/10 would buy again without hesitation. Only wishlist item would be to have the recommended Amp/Speed/Metal chart on the inside cover of the wire enclosure. (if it's even possible to fit all that information there)
12 May 2022

Great bit of kit.
12 May 2022

The product is being used at home but as part of my work I haven't done much with it yet but what I have done seems very good & robust
11 May 2022

Very well made great to use
09 May 2022

An excellent piece of equipment which I would not hesitate to recommend.
09 May 2022

Basic, but good little unit for DIY work. Only used for MIG so far & it does the job fine.
06 May 2022

This is a great bit of kit. Bought for workshop and site work and works a treat.
02 May 2022

Spot on. Car restoring or hobby. ** on point all day. Dials in really well and can't fault it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this for body panels.. R Tech team real friendly and full of advise and help. Super and no regrets.
02 May 2022

Would recommend perfect
01 May 2022

I've only had a quick go so far but was really happy with the results. I would recommend it to anyone. Very well made welder with all metal parts. Simple uncluttered design.
29 April 2022

I use this welder for building custom motorcycles, and making parts. Excellent quality welder and so easy to use. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.
28 April 2022

we use this product both in our fabrication workshop as a bench tool all day long as a mig and also it is used on site as an arc welder outdoors,....a good reliable piece of equipment if used correctly. Make sure it is kept off the ground at a slightly higher level to allow fan to work effectively (approx 900mm) and this also prevents dust and debris from entering .
26 April 2022

Very good quality works well all feels robust. This is a 240v welder that can be used at home like myself in a garge but with professional results.
26 April 2022

This is a high quality welder for a small price and performs really well.
26 April 2022

I?ve not started my new project yet so can?t say much about it but if it welds as easy as it assembles it will get a 5star rating.
25 April 2022

Superb welder, so much better than my old one.
25 April 2022

Use this welder for bodywork and some general fabrication. Woukd recommend to hobby and trade alike. Really good little welder.
24 April 2022

Lovely easy to use Mig Welder Great value for money
24 April 2022

1st time welder, unit looked really good and was easy to setup.. I did have an experienced welder test before I used it and they were also very impressed with the results (180 welder and gasless wire).. After a few test runs I was able to make a good weld that didn't look too bad either.. Very impressed and very pleased with the welder and the service from R-Tech .
22 April 2022

Haven?t used it yet but is well made and very sturdy.
22 April 2022

Have been using an old Murex MiG for about 20 years it was slowly dying, so i went for a more transportable MiG and i certainly am impressed with this imig 180 welder and its ease of use. If you have doubts about these machines, they are quality and a very good firm to buy from.Thanks
20 April 2022

Good welder for all round panel work
19 April 2022

Thin sheet metal so far. Auto bodyworkers. Pretty good value.
17 April 2022

Plan to use it to restore my own cars, haven't yet used it but super excited to start..just want to do a refresher course before I start welding on my cars
12 April 2022

My Inverter Mig 180 is absolutely brilliant, no other way of putting it. Incredible value and great welds out of the box. Amazing value bit of kit, batting well above its price placement.
12 April 2022

For teaching introduction to welding. I'd recommend this to anyone doing light to medium work. The weight and size of the ** makes it easy to manoeuvre and handle. The quality is as good as it gets. Good solid handle for a machine of this size.
10 April 2022

I would recommend this little welder to anyone so easy to use brilliant little thing.
07 April 2022

at home in the workshop would recommend to anyone Product is first class
07 April 2022

Repair and maintenance. Anyone. Great quality.
06 April 2022

This welder is for personal tasks and also for my intended classic car restoration I?d recommend this for DIY and for Professional use I bought this product not because of recommendation but due to past business I did with *** when I was doing electrical installations on Exmoor remote buildings. I purchased the MOSA generators. Back then I found *** trustworthy & efficient, so it was a no brainier to buy my new welder from them I intend buying the 3 in one 250A welder once my new garage/workshop has been built
06 April 2022

Perfect for automotive fabrication, low spatter and easily mobile
04 April 2022

This welder is built to a high standard using quality parts built to last. This would suit someone for prolonged daily use providing clean welds on all project sizes 5 stars
04 April 2022

I am a newbie at welding found the mig 180 with good reviews so took plunge how glad I did so easy to use with a good quality weld followed up by great aftercare would highly recommend this welder and Company .
04 April 2022

Very pleased with the welder, after having looked at many alternatives decided to choose the mig180. Must say it it is a huge improvement over my old welder. Very good quality. Highly recommended.👍
03 April 2022

Great product and quality 👌 highly recommend
29 March 2022

Perfect for oiur requirements
24 March 2022

Workshop use, bought to supplement arc welder for lighter steel. Recommend for hobby and workshop, great machine, with all accessories included. Appears robust, easy to set up- (just needed gas) and then a couple of days of days welding- no issues. Consistent welds.
24 March 2022

Perfect welder for repairing my classic VW campervan. It does everything from chassis members to body panels. I absolutely love it. It runs fine off my home supply.
24 March 2022

The product is used for home projects. I have used the Rtech180 in a domestic and educational settings and find it comprable to mig welders costing significantly more. I would reccomend it for all standard light to medium mild steel welding and have yet to reach its limits. The quality of the product is spot on.
24 March 2022

Great bit of kit, good build quality, highly recommended
23 March 2022

Used to weld *** and a few other jobs, seems a good bit of kit, need to develop more experience and practise to know which settings are best for each job.
23 March 2022

Our needs have been met substantially for our small motor vehicle College.
22 March 2022

Mig 180 inverter welder is great value for money.and much better than my old mighty mig. I was recommended this product by a Friend and I tried his before I bought mine I first saw them at the NEC and kept putting it off. wish I hadn't. I use it most weeks in my business and so far its been fine and easy to use welds 4mm plate no trouble.
22 March 2022

I am restoring a 50 year old car which has ended up with the replacement of 30% of its metal. The 180 was easy to set up and started welding within 30 mins. I haven?t been using it for very long however so far so good
21 March 2022

Ace
21 March 2022

Welder used on classic cars and for mot rust jobs . Sold on first one second one is being checked over after giving good service ,so a third one was bought as have rush job to do on own van.
21 March 2022

Very pleased with the quality of the welder and would highly recommend it.
20 March 2022

Hobby welding To my friends as one of mine recommend you to me Very good.
19 March 2022

not used machine yet so only 4 stars but looks very good quality.
19 March 2022

I have waited to give feedback until I have used it for the purposes that I intended it for. Now that I have, what a great, versatile little machine. I am very happy with it, thank you.
10 March 2022

Very nice mig welder, the steel backed wire feeder makes it a solid machine, it's small enough and light enough to use anywhere. Love it.
28 February 2022

I purchased my R-Tech MIG180 over the telephone. During the transaction, I received faultless customer service. I'm 150% delighted, and cannot recommend R-Tech and their products strongly enough !!!
24 February 2022

Very good
21 February 2022

Excellent product and worked well straight out of the box.
16 February 2022

I use my welding equipment for all my home projects and would recommend r-tech for any types of use, top quality products that come with good warranty and support not that it's needed
15 February 2022

Works really well. Fine control on wire feed and amperage.
14 February 2022

Mainly welding cars, recommend to anyone. Great quality
12 February 2022

Excellent
11 February 2022

Over lockdown I decided with some time on my hands I should learn a new skill. probably not the best decision for my first fabrication a set of 4 into 2 stainless motorcycle exhaust pipes and brought a tig welder. I must have done something right as many people asked me to go into production. Well this time the wheel arches on my car are looking a bit shabby. I have purchased a tig 180 for this project and hope to make it look factory new again Regards Glen oliver
08 February 2022

basic garage work
04 February 2022

Been struggling with an old unreliable mig for ages. Bought this one for a specific job and it's excellent. ** easy to set up, fantastic welds first time. Makes me look like I know what I'm doing. Should have bought it earlier.
03 February 2022

Great welder - slightly irritating whine from the cooling fan!
02 February 2022

Amazing quality and very well put together. Works straight away with little setup to do. The only ** I have is that it would be perfect if the settings guide was printed on a label inside the cover. I've done this myself with a laminated sheet but other than that it's a fantastic welder
31 January 2022

I?m a panel beater, so on the ** light use?the machine must be light and usable in tight spaces, It ticks all of these with ease.
31 January 2022

I purchased the R-Tech 180 Amp Portable Inverter Mig Welder owing to my previous welder having an expensive fault in less than 4 years of ownership. The R-Tech welder is leagues apart in terms of quality and welding ability. For over 50 years I've been a keen ** maker of all sorts and believed any bad welding I happened to do was down to my technique. However, as soon as I started welding with the R-Tech 180 the welds look professional. The arc is lot more "gentle" (if that's the term), and produces much less spatter than any mig welder I've used before. Incidentally, I am only using pub gas CO2. It comes with a 3 year "collect from my door" guarantee, which gives me at least 3 years peace of mind. The only small ** I have with the welder is the torch trigger is a bit too sensitive. The slightest touch and wire and gas are released, but a minor thing to get used to. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase.
30 January 2022

Superb welder , a pleasure to use
30 January 2022

Awesome,that's all!
30 January 2022

Like night and day compared with my old mig welder
28 January 2022

Product quality is very good and I will recommend you and your products to all I speak to about welding.
26 January 2022

As previous
26 January 2022

Very good smooth welder replaced a 30 year old ***. Looking like it is likely to be just as durable. Would recommend for car repair workshop.
26 January 2022

Brilliant welder
21 January 2022

Just upgrade after years of use from a Clarke MIG. It was like walking from darkness into sunlight, the RTech is so much easier to use and with a better duty cycle. Picked it up and started good welds straight away.!
20 January 2022

All good
20 January 2022

Great quality welder at a great price
19 January 2022

DIY/ Hobby welding. Fantastically versatile machine.
17 January 2022

Great lightweight product, quiet and sturdy, easy to use and to swap to use fluxcore
13 January 2022

My previous MIG was a Sealey Supermig 185 and needed upgrading. My choice as a DIY user was R Tech?s 180 Mig as the features including the ability to use a spool ** made it an obvious choice. Portable, competitive pricing, ease of use and a 3 year guarantee make it in my opinion very difficult to beat.
13 January 2022

Not used a lot of the product yet! But very light for the output very long earth lead makes it easy to leave in one place instead of humping it around everytime! Strong clean welds very easy to set up especially with the guides on the product info!
12 January 2022

Perfect welder for home fabrication car restoration and portable enough to use on site with a generator
11 January 2022

For my own use hobby and farm equipment repairs Very good quality product
01 January 2022

Vehicle Restoration and Builds. Excellent product.
30 December 2021

I am a hobby welder and use the machine for metal sculpture work. This machine is outstanding quality and so good mannered and predictable to use. It is an excellent general purpose machine and would suit any home, studio and fabricator's workshop.
23 December 2021

Good quality
22 December 2021

I have as yet only been getting used to the equipment. That said, I have done some perfectly satisfactory welding, good enough to satisfy a good friend who is a top flight general engineer. Material used to date is 16 gauge to 4mm. The equipment has coped well with the different thicknesses of material. So far I have only good things to say about the equipment - Easy to use, good quality earth, the wire feed is easy to load and feeds at a consistent rate, the gauges and piping supplied fitted the gas bottle and the welding machine.
22 December 2021

i use it in my hobby of renovation of classic cars. I would recommend it to fellow enthusiasts. The quality to date is excellent
22 December 2021

I would class myself as a light user purely automotive. I extensively researched and found this to be the best choice for me. Other brands on offer for similar money didn't have the after sales service or warranty compared. I have already recommended this to my brother and father who are both self-employed welders by trade. Machine is relatively small but robust ideal for back of a van or under a counter in a workshop area. Very Good build quality compared to other brands I've used such as SIP and *** etc.
21 December 2021

Personal use in my home workshop for vehicle maintenance. Ideal.
21 December 2021

Ace welder happy with my buy
21 December 2021

Great Quality,
21 December 2021

As a vehicle technician welder was brought for home use on home car rebuilds.can see in the future may take into work for jobs.
19 December 2021

Easily competes with welding machines that are 3x the price. Made of high quality components.
15 December 2021

Welder works well in our workshop easy to operate and produces a good weld
03 December 2021

Classic vehicle restoration, quality seems very good
01 December 2021

Machine is built to a superb quality and real easy to use. I'm venturing into automotive welding and *** and the machine is more than capable of the prolonged use.
30 November 2021

Very good product.
27 November 2021

I use the product to weld body panels and im still learning but its a brilliant machine so far and works real well i would highly reccomend to anyone looking for a good welder for the money
26 November 2021

Haven?t done loads yet, but an easy to get on with machine with a good manual. Results so far are very good. Laminated a copy of the settings page, very handy.
25 November 2021

Very good
25 November 2021

I've shouted from the mountains on this 1 recomending it to everybody I know and even stop working to demonstrate it in front of people in my classic car resto garage.. what an amazing welder!! going from a cebora180 to this thing winning hands down. I said I was going to chuck it in the deep end of testing and I did.. welding large frame work, building a garage that resembles a barn.. it didn't even break a sweat! The only quibble is that I wished it had a 4mtr cable on the euro torch. The next thing on my list will be a 50amp plasma then hopefully an ac/dc tig. Top ***'s R-TECH *** ***J S Auto
16 November 2021

we have started using the mig for fabricating welding table first then custom racking for our mower attachments. Recommend light to medium use operation and portable applications. first class quality
15 November 2021

Very well built with great quality and user friendly display, controls, leads and regulator. Fantastic performance for the little work I?ve done with it so far, but highly impressed by it thus far. Well packaged with model specific instructions including colour photographs as opposed to terrible line drawings making set up and initial use a breeze. Will certainly buy from R-Tech again.
15 November 2021

Brilliant bit of kit
13 November 2021

Compact and easy to use so far. Haven?t tried mig yet until I get gas but MMA good so far on 2.5 rods
11 November 2021

Super quality welder. Massive upgrade from my old sip 150 turbo. Great bit of kit with plenty of adjustment and features.
10 November 2021

Works very well, impressed. Not sure why the digital display only indicates the current when actually welding and pretty much impossible to see when glancing through a welding helmet. Be far more useful to indicate current set on dial prior to welding..
10 November 2021

5*****
08 November 2021

Been using it for car body work and small gates and railings.
08 November 2021

Excellent
05 November 2021

Would highly recommend to others
04 November 2021

Have not had time to use the welder much yet, but it is really nice to use. The build quality is excellent. Great tool for anyone wanting to do body panel repairs and light fabrication.
03 November 2021

First class equipment.
03 November 2021

Great product works straight out of the bad, very well thought out such as the flex cable to support the wire feed. Everything feels made to a good quality, well designed and the instructions manual also provide good advice of voltage and wire feed. Couldn?t be happier
01 November 2021

Fantastic quality, it has improved the quality and consistency of my welds no end. Really wish I'd upgraded my old Mig to this one sooner.
01 November 2021

Welding the car .everyone good guality
01 November 2021

Really well made product. The instructions for a complete novice could be improved as there are glaring gaps which caused frustration when setting up the machine. Other than that spot on.
29 October 2021

Haven't used it yet but looks well built
28 October 2021

We use the welder in our school workshops and I have previous deployed them in other settings and seen how good they are which is why I come back to them. When other are looking for equipment R-Tech is the first company i mention. The reliability, and solid construction has had a positive impact on the quality of the work leaving the workshops.
28 October 2021

I would reccomend this welder to anybody who wants to produce consistently high class welds fantastic kit of kit.
25 October 2021

Great product excellent quality really happy
21 October 2021

I like to rebuild and modify motorcycle's and also try my hand at fabricating a few bits, this is perfect welder for me. Anybody wanting to know were to get good service and a good welding unit, I will send them your way. The quality of the product is brilliant and easy to understand.
20 October 2021

Not the cheapest 180 Mig on the market but, so far performs excellently from wire feed to all welding diciplines, ease of use is top ** via simple no nonsense controls. Like a lot of other welders, the amps supplied is only displayed while the welder is in action?? I am only a hobby welder so no drama. I would give this machine 10/10 and with the 3 year warranty supplied, expect that rating to stay constant. I would not hesitate in recommending this item to anyone.
19 October 2021

a good all round working tool
19 October 2021

Great quality product and easy to set up and use.
17 October 2021

Excellent well made machine
17 October 2021

Great welding plant highly recommend... Tess in Fife...
12 October 2021

An excellent welder. It has a very high-quality robust feel to all components, while being light and manageable. All cables are of a good length and not overly short like on competitor machines. The instructions were clear and concise. The machine is easy to set up, use, and produces excellent quality welds. Much better than many others on the market. Very quick delivery and superbly packaged. I would recommend without hesitation.
12 October 2021

Used for restoring my VW camper. Really struggled with my old welder. This welder makes the job so much easier with much less grinding to clean up.
09 October 2021

I would recommend this product to anybody wishing to learn to weld, as well as anyone with a small engineering business. Quality of product seems very good. Although the recommended 13amp plug supplied/purchased with product seems small when fitting to the power cable.
09 October 2021

Fantastic welder easy to set up with great results
08 October 2021

Very well packaged, oozes quality. I'd recommend this to anyone.
07 October 2021

Fabulous, top of its class in the under 1k category, smooth to operate. Very well made.
05 October 2021

I use this mainly for making gates and furniture. I have been using this over the past week with gasless mig wire and it is way better than expected. Very smooth wire feed and easy to control welder giving good fusion. Definitely worth the money.
01 October 2021

fantastic mig welder, it has improved my welding all ready.
30 September 2021

I mainly use this for diy and some small repairs for work. The machine is really good quality and really easy to setup and use. It is a massive step up from my old transformer machine. I am no welder but this machine can run some excellent welds and makes it look like I know what I?m doing. I have only used a couple of times at the moment but I?m sure it will give me many years of trouble free use. I would recommend this to anyone starting out or people who have experience. Overall a superb machine for the money.
30 September 2021

After 4 years struggling with my cheap Ebay welder,decided to treat myself to something a bit more up market,needed something portable and versatile which ruled out the ** transformer welders. Id come across RTech, which were a bit more than I wanted to pay,but with such consistent great reviews,great warranty,I decided to take the plunge,best money I've spent, transformed my welding instantly,absolutely love it
30 September 2021

Very pleased
29 September 2021

Easy to operate and Works great
27 September 2021

The welder is made well and easy to set up. I bought it after seeing a friend demostrate theirs for me and I was impressed. I am new to welding and I find it straight forward to use.
27 September 2021

Brilliant
27 September 2021

Quality feels great. Decent packaging and delivery. not set up yet so can't comment on usability. Intended use maintenance of machinery and low volumes of metal and wood furniture.
24 September 2021

Works perfectly
23 September 2021

Excellent welder so easy to use and set up. Top job!
17 September 2021

small ,compact and powerful ,a joy to use
16 September 2021

I probably wouldn't buy this product a second time round. You could spend alot less for a cheaper model and get the same results. This machine is not for the experienced welder
15 September 2021

Welder is awesome
14 September 2021

Great product, works very well and came with everything I need. The quality and service made me make a further purchase of more kit a week or so later!
14 September 2021

I use this machine for trials motorcycle frame welding, it?s the perfect machine for this! Quality is excellent and would recommend to anyone looking for a quality machine.
13 September 2021

Instantly started doing my best welds ever, straight out of the box. Amazing. Highly recommended.
11 September 2021

Easy to set up, light, compact and has settings for every need.
09 September 2021

Great IGBT -MIG 180 welder, I use for DIY but it can do way more that that, bought on recommendation of doubleboost and completely concur it's a great quality welder for a reasonable price, oozes quality. With 3 year warranty what's not to like. Highly recommended, buy with confidence.
09 September 2021

The quality of product is excellent.
09 September 2021

Im a coded welder fabricator. I use this for jobs at home. Thin metal jobds and repairing rusty cars
08 September 2021

07 September 2021

Excellent kit
07 September 2021

Great welder
07 September 2021

I haven?t used welder yet but looks very good quality
06 September 2021

Mostly for rally car preparation. Highly recommended to all hobby guys. Quality is first class.
03 September 2021

Using as a hobbyist for a range of jobs but mainly car restoration and really wished I had bought this a year ago, I would recommend to anyone who is in the market for a mig welder for car restoration etc , forget the cheaper transformer based welders this is in a different league especially having variable power and feed dials. Quality is great, thick gauge casing feels solid,nice carry handle ,and good torch and Earth length, and comes with a bottle regulator/gauge, well impressed with the weld quality and **.
03 September 2021

Hobby home use , but l think it would be a great portable welder for mobile engineer.
02 September 2021

Restoring classic cars good for hobbie / semi pro welding , very good quality
02 September 2021

Have'nt tried it yet but I'm sure it will be beyond my expectaions judging by all the review's
02 September 2021

We are using this welder to repair some of our commercial mowing equipment and it has been excellent so far, was easy to set up, and we cannot see anything that would need changing.
01 September 2021

ALL GOOD
01 September 2021

I'm a metal artist, also fabricating bespoke industrial furniture. Would recommend the the product to anyone looking to buy a welder. The quality is very good, although I think the wire spool holder is a bit flimsy compared to other makes. Also the earth cable and MMA cable thin compared to other makes of similar price. Apart from that excellent product.
31 August 2021

No matter what your welding requirements are I would give R-Tec a shout first, if they can't sort things out for you I would be very surprised, they are very customer focused even for small orders. The equipment I bought is very well made and more than up to the jobs I require of it, I would be confident that they could supply from small hobby first time welder to engineering companies.
30 August 2021

Using this machine at home for my own projects, this is a good middle of the road welder.
29 August 2021

at home car repairs good quality
29 August 2021

This is my fourth, maybe fifth welder over my working career. How I wish I had bought a machine like this years ago, rather than struggling with the poorly made cheap rubbish I bought. What a lovely piece of machinery, produces fantastic welds , straight out of the ( very substantial) box. My mate was trying to get me to buy a Ke..another brand, that they used at his work. I thought it too expensive, so chose the R-Tech instead after reading Forums and reviews online. He tried out the R-Tech yesterday at my place and was immediately impressed by quality of the job he turned out, he now thinks I made a wise choice and is going to have a word with his boss at work about replacing theirKe..another welder. So, very satisfied with my purchase, and confident that if I ever do have any problems that I'm likely to get top class customer service.
27 August 2021

Has made welding a lot easier and better quality than my old MIG
27 August 2021

Replaced a useless SIP Mig with R-Tech 180. I've used it to repair the door frame on my Ferrari 308 GTB and it's more than up to the job. Much easier to setup and use than the SIP, even comes with a list of suggested power and wire feed settings for various metals and thickness. Much thanks to *** *** for recommending it on his YouTube channel
26 August 2021

Seems to work fine.
26 August 2021

So easy to setup and a joy to use
26 August 2021

Quality piece of equipment. Next day delivery. Easy to set up. Very pleased.
23 August 2021

All arrived in good condition. Seems a nice compact little welder. Thank you.
20 August 2021

Rating is from previous feedback on internet plus friend who has this kit. I am learning to Weld and waiting for 16amp supply to my shed to start using kit but I am confident it will be as advertised hence 5 stars in advance
17 August 2021

My son loves it for learning welding.
16 August 2021

for MIG car welding To any other Restorer Great and easy to use
15 August 2021

This welder is like going from a Larder to a Bentley my old one was 30 year old I use it as a diyer and a small holder so we do bits and bobs on our farming gear and other diy projects. I would recommend this welder for diy or car mntc and possibly a small work shop. The quality is excelent .
13 August 2021

Amazing quality for value, very impressed.
12 August 2021

Mig 180 Great welds with 0.6mm wire haven?t tried 0.8mm yet Very happy with this set been welding over 20 years and it?s one of the best I?ve ever used
11 August 2021

Excellent all round.
10 August 2021

Bought to use on site where only 16 amp available already used on stainless steel and carbon up to 8 mm thickness with no issues excellent build quality as always with R-tech backed up by the best guarantee in the industry would recommend to anyone in the light fabrication industry who doesn?t want to drag full size 415v machines around
08 August 2021

Compared to my 5 year old SIP machine it has been night and day - the R-Tech is very consistent. The variable voltage control is very useful when getting the *** just right - the euro torch is a big upgrade from my old machine. The biggest plus for me is hw portable it is - it is sat on my worktop with a cover on it now - the old machine needed a cart and 2 people to get it in the car.
06 August 2021

Welder is used in the garage for small projects. Recommended to anyone who welds Great quality product
06 August 2021

Just started using the mig and it is brilliant 👌🏻👍 I?ve been welding for 25 years and I would say best I?ve used. Highly rate this. Thank you
19 July 2021

Not tried it yet will be using in in the next week. Look like a quality product.
17 July 2021

13 July 2021

Excellent!
12 July 2021

09 July 2021

Haven't tested yet
08 July 2021

07 July 2021

Only had a little play so far. Wire feed nice and smooth and power infinitely adjustable between min and *** unlike my old 6 position machine
06 July 2021

I have not welded for years but this little baby was so easy to use and get back into it. excellent build quality. Highly recommended to anyone wishing to purchase one.
05 July 2021

I use this product for repairing cars, I would recommend it to everyone. The quality is superb I can't fault it
05 July 2021

Beautiful welder! Been recommended by several people and now after using an old one of questionable origin I can see why! Cuts through paint and ** metal, straightforward to use. Would be good if there was a note as to how the digital readout is used as it showing 0 when changing the knobs I thought it was broken. Had to go online to learn it's not.
03 July 2021

Seems really well built
02 July 2021

Use on thin gauge automotive work, and the modern inverter technology is ideal for dialing in the amount of power.
01 July 2021

Very good product thank you
01 July 2021

It does everything I require providing three options from the one power source.
01 July 2021

Nicely made
01 July 2021

Have not had much chance to use my machines yet but straight out of the box the quality and feel of the products are exceptional. I recommend these products to most of my various trades which surround my business.
30 June 2021

Good welder would tackle any job
30 June 2021

Having had problems with a cheaper flux-cored welding setup, I was advised by several people to try an R-Tech MIG welder. Taking advantage of a special offer, I ordered a MIG 180, along with a welding trolley and some consumables (MIG wire, etc.) Everything arrived the next day, as promised, and once I had assembled the trolley and sorted out a suitable shielding gas bottle, I gave the machine a try. I'm still really just a novice welder, but this thing makes the job so much easier. It looks and feels like a quality product and works like an absolute charm. Easy to control, produces nice clean welds and doesn't feel like it's going to let me down at any point. Initially, I did run into a slight problem with the supplied gas regulator, but a quick phone call to R-Tech support got things sorted out, with a separate flow-meter being supplied free of charge. How's that for service? If you're wanting to MIG weld anything from thin sheet up to 5mm or more, I reckon you couldn't go wrong with one of these machines.
30 June 2021

Worth paying that bit extra to get a quality product.
29 June 2021

Welder used for home and hobby use. Top quality product as with all r-tech welders. I would recommend to anyone who wants a quality welder for home and diy use.
29 June 2021

I recommend this machine to anyone making the jump from hobby to occasional it?s a fantastic smooth well presented machine with top back up and customer service cannot recommend highly enough
28 June 2021

Only done limited jobs with it, but good so far
28 June 2021

Home Workshop Currently making an old air tank Chimnea, I have a large gate planned Crafts & Hobbies Etc. Anybody working on light to medium projects The quality to date seems to be excellent! but too early comment on reliability yet.
27 June 2021

Don?t know yet, have not used it
26 June 2021

The switch to select between mig and arc ***ing is confusingly marked ?0? and?1?. This misled us to try and mig *** with arc selected. Serious ** through!
26 June 2021

Used for home projects i.e. metal railings and gates . I would recommend this welder to my friends Quality of welder seems good but only time will tell
25 June 2021

So far so good...........
25 June 2021

Used for general light welding projects and car panels. Good quality product, good back-up.
24 June 2021

I'm a life long hobbyist who does anything from restoring Land Rovers to making gates. I have got 16amp sockets in my garage to let me use the full 180amp capability but I also have a 13amp 3 pin adapter cable which allows me to use about 130amps when away from the garage. I had a copper coil mig for years because I was convinced they were better than inverters. How wrong I was. The R-tech unit welds better and is 1/4 the size and weight. The only thing I miss from my old machine is the 15kg wire reels but on the other hand 5kg is easier to change.
24 June 2021

Not used yet
24 June 2021

perfect
24 June 2021

Machine seems as sound as the TIG and plasma cutter I already have from Rtech. New to mig so can?t say much. Handy to have the *** *** video review to help set up. Have only used a bit of flux core in the garden so far and that was fine.
22 June 2021

Hobbyist welder, professionals, quality is fantastic
22 June 2021

I restore classic cars, so far the welders impressed me. It welds as well as large transformer welders, hopefully it lasts well but only time will tell. You get everything you need to start welding in the box other than wire which you are prompted to add if needed, and gas, a regulator is included but I've just used my old reg. I bought spare tips and a spare shroud but a shroud is included with the torch and some spare tips too. So far I can't fault it. Do get a trolley though, it would get knocked around on the floor, I suppose if there is a criticism it's not the most robust feeling unit. But it's well put together and I think if looked after it will last well physically.
21 June 2021

I use the R-Tech180 Mig Welder for home workshop fabrication ie weather vans etc Because of the quality of the *** I would recommend this machine to any fabricator The R-Tech180 Mig Welder is so well made and so easy to adjust to achieve the perfect *** with this machine you are buying quality
21 June 2021

Cant rate as not used yet .but score ok as not able to submit without score Need to seek guidance on voltage verses amp setting criteria.
21 June 2021

Vehicle rebuilding, Would recommend to all Impressive quality
20 June 2021

I have a hobby workshop, and I am impressed with the power this welder has. I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a mig welder for a small workshop. And the quality of the machine is second to nun.
17 June 2021

Nice welder
16 June 2021

great little machine
16 June 2021

Home project car build.
15 June 2021

Great little machine, easy to set up and easy to use. Appears to be well made and runs perfectly. Comes with clear instructions. Great value for money and fantastic warranty.
14 June 2021

As in the previous comment, I haven't used it yet. However the quality is excellent and the features are really well thought out. I would not hesitate to recommend *** to everyone I can. I will be using it to restore an 80s Alfa, so plenty of use ahead :-) I can't even weld, how brave am I??
14 June 2021

Looks great, but still awaiting parts before I can fully test the machine. Reviews, on-line tutorials, and operating instructions are very good. Chris :-)
10 June 2021

First rate ,
09 June 2021

Only tried it on a scrap piece and it produced a better *** than my 195 mig but time will tell
02 June 2021

Almost numpty proof welding, great stuff.
02 June 2021

Great quality piece of kit, I?ve added a couple of brackets to wind the cord round. Might be worth thinking about for people like me who don?t use a trolley
02 June 2021

The Rtech 180 Mig welder is mainly for use in my own garage at home for car repairs and any manufacturing of parts that require welding. I would rate this welder to anybody that requires a 180 amp Mig welder, the quality and finish are top notch. Really great to use and I am very pleased with this machine, having purchased this back at the end of June last year and due to work commitments and then health issues yesterday was the first day I got the machine and trolley built up and used in action, so far brilliant bit of kit, really impressed with my new piece of Rtech equipment and also there service from my fist call regarding my interest in sourcing a machine.
01 June 2021

I use the machine for hobby and business purposes. Would recommend to anyone who has a good use for it as its excellent quality. Quality is that good I will be looking into the HF tig machines next.
01 June 2021

Bought to replace my old Mig welder, so far impressed by the ease of use and easier to fine tune. Also bought the trolley as physically much smaller and lighter than my old one. Would certainly recommend this for the kind of use I have it for which is diy car restoration work.
31 May 2021

Very good product should have bought one sooner
28 May 2021

I was looking to buy a mig welder as my first welder, so many in the market but i stumbled across the rtech mig welder and it really live up to its name
26 May 2021

I am I mobile welder, I use the machine in the field and it performs very well. I would recommend this product to anyone else in the trade. Very good quality product.
25 May 2021

Diy use.
25 May 2021

Used the mig 180 on my old transit camper for the first time at weekend & found it to be a great, lightweight but very capable welder! It coped with the rusty chassis with no fuss & with very little spatter which is always good when laying on your back under a van! Only time will tell if it's as good or as robust as the old transformer migs but so far I am very impressed. Easily as good as some of the professional machines I have used over the years in the trade & very easy to set up with precise adjustments of the amps to suit whatever is being welded! A three year extendable warranty makes it a great buy too. I am actually looking forward to getting back under my van , happy days 😁
23 May 2021

Absolute quality items worth every penny. Wouldn't buy anywhere else.
20 May 2021

hobbyist good for trade use or hobby top notch
20 May 2021

Great quality wasy to use
18 May 2021

Top quality easy to use great results
17 May 2021

Still familiarizing myself with the 180 controls and settings. Initially purchased to help with restoration of thin bodywork on an old camper van but first project was to build a welding trolley to carry my old welder + the 180 and two 10kg gas bottles. So far no problems except with the earth clamp copper wire braid working loose. Finding the variable controls more fiddly to getting the weld settings than the fixed switch settings on my old welder. With more use I expect that to become second nature.
17 May 2021

After seeing many recommendations online for R-tech products and viewing your website including the very instructional videos on the Mig welder by *** with his skills and very to the point advise of don't use a Mig welder outside in the ** rain I purchased one. I am restoring a 60 year old car and have used hired in welding machines before. But the difference is quite remarkable I almost look like a good welder now, thank you.
17 May 2021

Great piece of kit. Bought for general purpose use. With a few jobs on boats. Works like a dream, easy to set up and adjust. I recommend this to anyone up to semi professional..I've used on mild steel from 1 to 6 mm and wrought iron on an old boat.
17 May 2021

I use the welder on my own projects and found it to be great, after all the welders I?ve used over the years this welder beats them all by far the quality is really good and well put together
15 May 2021

Hobby welding
14 May 2021

Top service arrived Monday AM after ordering Friday pm
13 May 2021

Easy to set up for first time mig user, bought for use in a hobby workshop for tooling and product production, Build quality, moving parts fit and finish all appear to be of excellent quality. Would recommend to anyone in need of a welder of this spec.
12 May 2021

Voltage and wire speed knobs would be better with actual values instead of just markings. Too much guesswork in finding the setup. Once set it works really well. Never met anyone who can read the ampmeter while welding and goes back to zero when you stop 🤔
12 May 2021

compact machine does what it says on the tin
11 May 2021

Quality welder. Everything just seems better made than my older "hobby" transformer welder. Feels like it is designed and built to a specification, rather than to a price. I bought this after seeing a video on ***'s Blog where he tried to show what happened if you got your settings wrong. Trouble was, even with ridiculous settings he was producing welds as good as I was getting with my transformer welder when it was set up correctly. Took a bit of getting used to the settings and slightly different frying bacon sound, but now my welds look consistently beautiful. Very pleased.
11 May 2021

As before, more advice on setting the welder up for the novice would be useful.
09 May 2021

Great reliable unit, easy to use and set up. Lots of power for a compact size.
07 May 2021

I use this welder for my own personal car projects and other various projects! To Anyone looking to purchase a welder or accessories. I am very impressed with the quality of the welder, unfortunately I cannot comment on the longevity of it just yet, but with 3 years ?no fuss? warranty technically you shouldn?t have to worry!
07 May 2021

After using my verry old mig set {40years} the difference is fantastic much smoother arc and control of the power.The set was recomended by my local garage {best move i have made in a long time}.
06 May 2021

This is a great little welder, better quality and giving very consistent welds
06 May 2021

Wanted something with more control and reliability, that's what I got
06 May 2021

Build quality looks great, not had a chance to use it yet though!
05 May 2021

Haven?t used this welder yet, but very happy with it on initial once-over. Seems well built and well designed. I bought it to replace/supplement an ancient and increasingly erratic machine for welding car panels - ie very thin steel sheet.
05 May 2021

Have not used it yet
04 May 2021

Using for home vehicle restoration and small projects. I don't have much to compare it with but am very happy with the quality. Being new to MIG welding I was initially put off by the dials being 0-10 rather than volts and speed but soon became obvious from many YouTube videos that you can't just dial in standard settings to any welder and get the same result so not a problem. Not used for stick welding as I have another welder for that.
04 May 2021

I use the welder for DIY use. It's simple to setup and produces great results, even for a novice welder!
03 May 2021

yes i will recommend to other people
30 April 2021

Fabrication work in conjunction with agricultural equipment maintenance and working on small plant. Would recommend as a professional quality machine at a competitive price ideal for advanced DIY and lighter commercial use although more than capable of more arduous work if required. Excellent quality which stands out against the competition.
29 April 2021

I use it pretty much on a daily basis but only for short periods I do a lot of up-cycling gas bottle wood burners etc I would recommend this product to any restorer up cycler the machine is very good quality as I was told as a young lad if you buy cheap you buy twice so go the extra mile and buy an rtech 👍
27 April 2021

used for hobbyist car welding very good quality in my humble opinon
26 April 2021

As soon as I put the plug on I gave it a go! Straight out of the box it welded superb, and seemed to have loads of power. Both myself and a friend noticed how the welder sounded 'powerful' compared to some others we've used
26 April 2021

Not had time to actually unpack
26 April 2021

Does exactly what it says on the tin I?ve used it for several jobs, it performs as you would want it too, perfect for welding jobs on cars as it is lightweight and easy to move
21 April 2021

So far seems excellent.
20 April 2021

Great piece of kit. I'll be using it for car restoration, and it makes my attempts at panel repair look good! Build quality is excellent - I spent more than I intended when upgrading my old SiP welder, but the results show it was the right decision. I'd recommend the R Tech 180 to any serious hobbyist or semipro welder looking for a quality machine that looks built to last and gives great results.
15 April 2021

I am going to use the welder to carry out repairs on my classic cars. I've no experience of using other makes of welder so can't compare it. However it has good reviews and R-Tech appear to provide good support.
14 April 2021

Good well made. Easy adjustment and very powerful. Spool is difficult to load with big hands. Definitely recommend
12 April 2021

I use the welder on my classic car,it's absolutely perfect for car restoration. I would certainly recommend to all vehicle restores. Early days yet but the quality seems very good.
09 April 2021

Look a great bit of kit, not used as yet but i?ve every confidence it will be great 👍🏼
09 April 2021

I am not a professional welder and have purchased the mig 180 to assist with the restoration of my classic campervan. one of the reasons that I purchased the product is that I felt that the feed mechanism was robust for a model in this price range and also, the adjustability of power and feed over other makes/models gave the user the advantage to be able to fine tune to a better degree. The ability to use the product as an arc welder was appealing and I can tell you that this model arc wilds very nicely. This is set up on a trolley with a well known gas cylinder and is compact enough to have in the corner of your garage. It is also small enough and light enough to transport without difficulty so for me, the all round versatility gets a big thumbs up from me.
08 April 2021

I have no quibble with the welder at all , brilliant unit at a great price . My only gripe is the digital welding display , in that it does not show its read out unless welding which is not practical when actually welding . It would be a lot better if it displayed the setting prior to use , not just when welding
08 April 2021

Happy
08 April 2021

Easy ordering process, R-Tech answered my pre-sales questions with ease and were charming. Welder arrived via DHL slightly earlier than expected - which was good. Very well packaged and arrived in excellent condition. All you need in the crate to get you up and running quickly (except welding gas). I ordered my 180A MIG without a mains plug to fit my own ABB 16A blue connector. The attached mains cable was the correct size for the current and all wires were stripped and pre-tinned, which was a professional touch. I installed the supplied wire spool, fitted up the gas and powered up after a safety check, worked well using the default settings from R-Tech. Very pleased and I've already added a Plasma cutter and Air Compressor on my wish list from R-Tech for my next purchases.
08 April 2021

Purchased to weld classic car bodywork. I would recommend this wonderful machine to anyone that has a need to weld. The machine is robust and has had some admiring remarks from people that have seen it in my workshop.
06 April 2021

Great product so far. Working very well for the current project.
04 April 2021

Great welder with everything needed to get up and running.
02 April 2021

I use it for work and hobby use. Ideal for beginner up to professional use in my opinion. The quality of the 180 is amazingly good for the price.
01 April 2021

On arrival, I made a small test welding and the equipment seems excellent. All bits connected easily together and appear to be good quality. Overall thoroughly recommended
31 March 2021

Great quality for the money, works well. Great for the garage
30 March 2021

I am a diy'er novice ***er who will be using this kit for vehicle body repairs / restoration and for making brackets / projects at home. The 180 is a very impressive piece of equipment, well made, using quality components. Even the way the side access door feels and sounds, as it closes, has that 'VW door closing' quality feel about it! Setting up and ***ing with it is such a genuine pleasure. The wire feed assembly is built on a cast ally frame, so wire feed is 100% reliable. I also purchased a flow meter also. Well worth doing as gas control is very precise. (as a tip, I wind open fully the flow valve, then regulate the pressure via the main regulator) Ive also purchased the arc ***ing handle / stinger, but am yet to give it a go. As a novice, coming from an unreliable SIP 130 mig mate, I'm blown away by how brilliant this unit is. The amount of control for voltage and wire speed is mind blowing. The variability to your *** is just about infinite. Seriously, within 20 mins, I was knocking out really good but, lap and T ***s on 3mm plate with excellent **. I'd recommend this set to absolutely anyone. Novice or expert alike. An amazing bit of kit that will not disappoint.
29 March 2021

Use it for welding cars mostly and friends love it so they probably be buying their own
29 March 2021

Bought to rebuild my car, highly recommended machine albeit more than i wanted to paybut they seem to be items people keep for years so looking as an investment, friends have praised its size. I look forward to trying it out.
28 March 2021

As good as it gets at the price point, great control of settings wire feed smooth.
27 March 2021

general welding, would recommend to other workers the quality of the product is 1st class.,
26 March 2021

Ideal welder for my use repairing vehicles and race cars (Autograss ) . A good welder for anyone who is into repairing professional or DIY Excellent quality and good value for money
25 March 2021

I would not hesitate to recommend R-tech to anybody.
24 March 2021

Great mig
23 March 2021

I'm no expert, but have been using a welder for many years. My previous budget mig worked after a fashion but could almost reduce me to tears at times. But your Mig 180, well what a difference! Great welds straight out of the box, everything about it seems so much better. At last welds I don't have to grind down and hide beneath underseal. It actually makes working on my old van a pleasure and would recommend this welder to anyone doing chassis and body work. 😁 P.s. Thanks to Trev of Trev's Blog fame, his very positive reviews of r-tech products put your company on my radar. I certain I won't regret my purchase and will be a return customer in the future. Many thanks.
22 March 2021

Very pleased with the product would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality product.
22 March 2021

Fantastic machine that oozes quality. For a 'home gamer' this is quite an expensive machine compared to alternatives, but it is worth it - everything about this machine screams quality. If I had any request it would be to place the main power switch on the front of the machine rather than the back, but that's a minor issue.
22 March 2021

Great quality item and very pleased
21 March 2021

Great service and excellent an welder
20 March 2021

My first "proper" welder. Moving up from a sip 130 migmate which i now know was an expensive paper weight! Haven't found anything about the r tech to complain about yet.
19 March 2021

good machine works well very smooth in opperation
19 March 2021

Good piece of kit easy to use very well made and good results after minimal use Top marks again
18 March 2021

It?s my first time doing welding Very easy to use good quality
18 March 2021

I am using the 180 mig on various projects that I am doing . Thin and thick metal , it is very good and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend the 180 mig to anyone, starting out or professional welders . The quality of the product is very satisfactory, mostly metal and not much plastic on it , easy to set up and use .
18 March 2021

Very good product
17 March 2021

Used in home workshop. Recommended for the ** (me) and the very experienced alike. Excellent product quality.
16 March 2021

Good product, good sales service and have already recommended welder.
12 March 2021

Personal small jobs (hobby) Quality is excellent, think price little high for the general diy person that requires to undertake the odd little bit of welding
11 March 2021

Hobby user. Will be used for repairs to car bodywork and some other slightly heavier metal items. As an ** I have found this welder very easy to use. Quality good for the money
11 March 2021

Great welder the only thing I would like is that the amp meter would show what amps your at before you start welding
08 March 2021

Excellent
08 March 2021

I think the quality is extremely high, everything has a quality feel to it. I haven't used the welder yet but I've heard it is very good and have no doubts it will serve me well.
05 March 2021

REME section in a school CCF (Combined Cadet Force) Friends in the trade Easy to use and works as it should - appears well built and robust, only time will tell - love the warranty and support from R-Tech
04 March 2021

Very good product very happy
03 March 2021

Great welder
02 March 2021

BASIC WELDING OF CAR CHASSIS ETC. WOULD RECOMMEND TO ANYONE. QUALITY VERY GOOD.
02 March 2021

I?m new to welding and wanted a good quality machine that will last, everything I found online pointed to this machine for quality. Great bit of kit and I hope it serves me well for many years to come .
01 March 2021

Used for at home car restoration, welds in a very nice, and controllable manner. So far, has proved to be as good as advertised, if not a little better!
01 March 2021

Well packaged, great little welder with plenty of adjustability, and well designed and engineered.
01 March 2021

Very well packaged with everything needed to get started. The main box is very light, realitively speaking, for it's power and size. The controls are simple, well placed and ideal for the beginner and expert alike. Winding on the 5KG roll of wire wasn't fiddly, and my two apprentices managed this with ease after a quick demonstration by me. The torch is comfortable to hold, the lead is more than long enough, and the fittings are good quality and long lasting. One of my apprentices has never welded before and after five minutes was welding to a good structural quality. There is a chart of 'voltages vs speed vs material' included in the box which gives very accurate setting suggestions.

23 February 2021

I haven?t had the chance to use it yet
22 February 2021

Myself and my employee use the MIG for restoration work mainly on cars, tractors and light plant but also occasional heavier fabrications.. I bought it on the recommendation of a number of people after asking on an online motoring forum if anyone could recommend a MIG welder.. Pre purchase enquiry with *** filled me with confidence, on time delivery, quality of packaging, then using the MIG itself and a superb warranty have confirmed my expectations. Fantastic, I can't recommend the company highly enough. I shall definitely be buying some more products from R Tech...
20 February 2021

Machine have excellent clarity instruction is easy to use like I said machine very good many thanks again
20 February 2021

I use the welder for General automotive repairs, I would recommend it to anyone who wants a small portable welder that will cope with anything up to heavy industrial use. Quality for the price is excellent
18 February 2021

Fantastic bit of kit, well made and brilliant value for money.
17 February 2021

I'm using this to weld gates and railings. I would recommend to anyone doing similar work. So far I'm impressed with the quality of the product.
16 February 2021

Again great advice and fantastic piece of kit. Thanks again
16 February 2021

Used it all day and was very happy with the welder. One of the best welds I have layered down for some time.
11 February 2021

Mig 180 is a brilliant little welder that I?m sure anyone who has used one will agree ! ... if your in the market for a welder I would say call r-tech and have a chat
11 February 2021

High Quality product at a reasonable price.
10 February 2021

We use the mig welder for vehicle restorations and the welder seems to be well engineered and well presented.
10 February 2021

Hobby use, could be used professionally for garage etc. Girst time I have used a proper mig, and very impressed. It would be nice to see the actual amperage and voltage you set it to, instead of when in use. Amperage does not even show on arc welding, only when in use...
08 February 2021

Smooth welding compared to many other mig welders, seems good so far! It?s more expensive than some other competitors machines but bare in mind you get what you pay for, and the build quality is decent from what I?ve seen. Was recommended by a friend and wasn?t disappointed. Well packaged and safely sent with next day delivery, top stuff!
08 February 2021

welding/would recommend /good quality/
08 February 2021

I use the rtech 180 mainly for automobile repair work and trailer repair for myself The set is good value for the money and easy to use
06 February 2021

Use it to weld up my camper van .would recommend to a friend how is looking for one .the quality is very high and nice and easy to set up and to start welding
05 February 2021

A simple to set up and use mig set , great for the DIY enthusiast or light industrial use, reliable with good performance at a very competitive price.
02 February 2021

Just does what it says on the box. High quality product at a goods price.
02 February 2021

I had 2 2nd hand machines before this, a mig mate and a snap-on. In relation the R-Tech is a joy to use straight out of the box, comfortable, easy to control and a good solid made unit, a pleasure to use and versatile. Portable, reversible polarities for flux and a spool ** connector for Alli. I would recommend to anybody from hobbiest to pro.
01 February 2021

Very good
01 February 2021

I bought this machine to weld up some box sections and universal beams. It completely out performed my old hobby machine. I would recommend it for home use or light industrial work. The quality looks really good, and customer service has been great.
01 February 2021

It is for hobby use for projects at home. Friends and customers , anyone where a discussion would come up. So far very please with the build and finish.
01 February 2021

I am a complete novice and teaching myself in lockdown with the help of youtube so not sure I am the best reviewer. What I can say is that it arrived very well packaged and everything seems good quality and solidly made. After a day of experimentation I have now produced a few passable welds and the machine has performed faultlessly in my very clumsy hands.
31 January 2021

Had a nightmare with another make of MIG this is a dream to use. Set up was easy and I was welding within 10 minutes.
29 January 2021

High quality versatile machine, capable of all applications both for professional and casual user. Very good online tutorial, highly recommend before purchase.
28 January 2021

Great welder. great results even with flux cored wire. Delivered within 24 hours of ordering. Great comms from r-tech.
27 January 2021

Too early to provide comprehensive review but if performance and reliability live up to reviews would be happy to increase my rating to 5*.
27 January 2021

I use the welder in a small blacksmith shop I would recommend this product to anyone The quality of this product is okay Very good value
27 January 2021

Very high quality piece of kit and very reasonably priced
26 January 2021

I use my welder for classic car restoration so only light usage with the occasional heavier use on commercial vehicles it is a good machine for use in a wide variety of situations

Would recommend it to anyone
24 January 2021

So far so good, easy to control power and wire speed with dials.
23 January 2021

It?s lovely! Feels like a nicely made product and the controls are smooth and accurate. Produced a lovely *** straight out of the box. The small switches for spoil ** and MMA look a little flimsy but I don?t expect them to be an issue. Wire feed is superb.
23 January 2021

I?m by no means a pro at welding My main trade isn?t welding but I do enjoy it.my dad is a semi retired fabricator welder and was for 50ish years and he says the mig 180 is brilliant too I would recommend this machine to anyone you really won?t be disappointed
22 January 2021

It?s a new hobby I?m getting into and I would recommend to anyone and the quality is perfect
22 January 2021

Not used it yet

My son is doing a welder fabrication apprenticeship. To any welder. Very good lovely to use.

This is my first welder that I use for hobby use. I have welded in the past (a decade ago) and wanted to build one to build some workbenches and furniture. So far the machine seems good. The construction is of high quality. No flimsy hinges etc to save a few pennies. Very pleased with my purchase.
16 January 2021

The welder will be used in a ?hobby? type environment. I have only set it up and run a test weld so far before heading offshore to work. I?d recommend it to fellow classic car users via forums. Having been used to transformer based devices it seems ?lightweight? in comparison but looks well enough put together and comes well packaged.
15 January 2021

Good hobby welder
15 January 2021

Only my second welder. A real step up from my *** 135. Used for small fabrication projects and repairing tree surgery / landscaping equipment. I would recommend the product to anyone needing a small mig welder. Very easy to use and the settings in the manual are very helpful. The quality seems great, solid machine and importantly the leads and cables seem really nice quality. Only used it a couple of times so far but impressed. I will most likely buy other products from you.
14 January 2021

Mild steel kinetic sculpture frames. Anyone who needs a professional machine in a compact versatile unit. All parts appear and perform at a high standard.
14 January 2021

To date i have only welded a couple of small sheet metal fabrications but have found the welder to be excellent
14 January 2021

As a mobile welder I needed a small portable MIG welder, absolutely fantastic machine, smooth wire feed consistent arc, on par with machines that are double the price.
13 January 2021

Wow
13 January 2021

Top quality product in the money bracket I was working in
13 January 2021

Only used once so far very well made machine. Preformed well on 1mm rusty steel. Night and day from my old machine. Still getting used to it. Next day delivery was spot on. So far very happy customer.
12 January 2021

I'm merely a hobbyist and a beginner at that but so far I've tested the machine in every way I intend to use it - it performs perfectly. I would recommend the product to anyone who may be interested in a machine of this specification, in my opinion it is perfect for almost any skill level although I'm not a pro so they might have a different opinion. Miles better quality than any machine you could buy for this price.
12 January 2021

5 stars based on build quality and Will recommend to friends and family as we bought by word of mouth ourselves .
12 January 2021

We have several of these machines and they are good.. A possible improvement would be denser filtration on the fan and other apertures because as they are low down at floor level they can tend to draw in a lot of the muck, swarf and debris on a workshop floor..
12 January 2021

I use my welder for fabrication and classic vehicle restoration and would highly recommend the R-Tech equipment
12 January 2021

Outstanding performance and build quality, very technically advanced compared to my 25 year old mig welder.. So advanced but simple, my 17 year old son has Cerebral Palsy and is in an electric wheelchair and the older he gets the more its affecting his hands and eye co ordination but he loves using this little welder and is doing very well. If R-TECH or any other person//company would like to help out with tips/shrouds ( MB15, 0.8/0.6) I would be very grateful or any off cuts of metal for free in Lincoln ?r 15 miles surrounding areas ? I can collect depending on the size. It is really helpful with his fine motor skills.
11 January 2021

Welder did everything asked for - 3mm - 5mm steel Only minor problem welding torch leads plastic cover - euro connector end - kept coming unscrewed & dropping off exposing torch connection leads - small piece of black insulation tape stopped problem.
09 January 2021

I tried cheaper welders in the past and convinced myself that I was useless at welding. I saw the reviews on this welder and decided to give mig welding another try. I was plesently suprised that with this welder I am able to produced good welds.
09 January 2021

Bought this as a 'Top end Hobby welder' and it doesn't disappoint. It replaces a fairly new 150 a Mig which I have off loaded to my brother! Far easier to set up and use. Im looking forward to trying a bit of Alu welding, something I though would be out of my depth. Really pleased with the operation and the solid feel of the machine. Cant fault it at all really/
07 January 2021

I am now a hobby welder and first impressions are good. Would recommend it to anybody due to simplicity and portability.
06 January 2021

Perfect for semi professional use Light to mid range with a good duty cycle
06 January 2021

hobby use . Would recommend to friends. have not used yet but seems to be very well made
05 January 2021

Very high quality, I'm only an ** but it is very easy to use
04 January 2021

The welder is in a handy size to transport ,and very neat job , witch I was pleasantly surprise with for portable machine .
04 January 2021

Mainly car panels but will be used as a general welder. I wanted to buy from a British company and With the build quality and back up it certainly ticked all the boxes.!
02 January 2021

My old mig ***er gave up and on reading many reviews I opted for this one, I must say so far I?m very happy. Up to 160amps you can also use this on a normal 13amp plug👍.I set it up using the settings recommended in the instructions and although I?m only an at home hobby ***er on my old cars it quite easy to get a nice consistent ***. If you are looking for a new ***er I would definitely say this is worth a second look.
30 December 2020

Car restoration My friends Top quality
30 December 2020

No 0.6mm contact tips or spare shrouds
29 December 2020

Very good machine
29 December 2020

Welding vehicle and a bit of fabrication at home. I would recommend to friends. The quality is very good 👍
26 December 2020

Good welder for the novice
22 December 2020

The product is very good very straightforward to use and very good at what he does
18 December 2020

Unfortunately I cannot review this new mig welder as I have not opened it yet. I do not foresee any issues
17 December 2020

Very good quality, I am a first time welder and this seem really good. The manual is really helpful with some suggested setting to start with. Good, sturdy and nice looking, as well as well made
17 December 2020

Light fabrication and car restoration, great quality, well built, would recommend!
17 December 2020

It's a very well made welder, more than enough for what we use it for
16 December 2020

I use the welder on projects at home, but I would recommend this for any workshop as it's a great quality product.
15 December 2020

Absolutely love the 180 welder. Good quality welder . Worlds apart from the *** welders I?ve used over the years.
15 December 2020

Brilliant welder, very user friendly and clearly alot of effort has been put into this product. Very good manuals and setup advice.
15 December 2020

As a hobbyist/DIY I had been using a family members 20+ year old mig with dodgy wire feed speed etc so researched the options and the rtech 180 mig kept coming up with good reviews, have to say it seems an absolutely cracking machine and it works really well, even in the hands of a novice, well worth the cost as I have likely recovered half the purchase price with my first repair to the project car I am doing. I am using the mig 180 with a 13amp to 16amp lead and it has coped effortlessly with everything so far including some stick welding. Overall, I would recommend this welder to anyone that wants or needs a mig welder, its a quality piece of kit with good back up should you need it and good customer service, try it you won't be disappointed.
14 December 2020

Haven't used it yet but know it well as several friends have the same welder.
11 December 2020

I?m just a hobbyist , but the short time I?ve tested the welder it?s giving much improved results so well please...
10 December 2020

This is my first welder and I have learnt to use it with assistance from your YouTube videos, so that I can repair my Morris Minor. So far it?s going well. I would recommend this product to anyone who requires a welder, it?s very good. The quality of the welder is first class.
10 December 2020

I would tell friends about the welder and how much I like it just waiting to use it
09 December 2020

Only used it for a quick job but works really well.
09 December 2020

Use this mainly for Mig welding. Already have one of your plasma cutters and am happy with that, so was happy to buy from you again.
08 December 2020

I am a hobbyist and use the welder for car restoration. I would recommend this welder for any occasional user or more regular home workshop user. I have always purchased the best tools I can afford and whilst this welder was more expensive than the usual SIP, *** and other "hobby" machines, I have found the investment worth it to date.
08 December 2020

Basically a nice capable welder perfect for smaller projects. Seems a well made quality machine.
08 December 2020

Brilliant customer service Well priced Top quality equipment for DIY and professional use Super fast delivery Chuffed with my new setup ! Thank you
07 December 2020

Used primarily for car restoration and small projects. Recommended for similar type work. Quality of the product and the welds it produces is excellent
05 December 2020

Happy
05 December 2020

Well built and nice variety of settings. Easy to set up and use
04 December 2020

Great Welder, easy to set up. Build quality excellent. I use i for projects at home and auto repairs. A big improvement on my old ***.
04 December 2020

Really good piece of kit easy to set up and use perfect for working on my Land Rover
03 December 2020

Straight out of the box and replaced outrigger on defender outside the garage.no probs. Looking forward to several outstanding jobs on farm machinery.
03 December 2020

Lovely welder, joy to use.
02 December 2020

Used very often for fabrication
30 November 2020

Haven?t used much yet but very impressed so far
30 November 2020

self workshop. all r tech we use and good quality and will recommend it to others
30 November 2020

I use this *** for repairing old cars. In the past I've had a SIP *** and a *** *** both were similar in that they had just four settings for the welding current, even using the lowest setting led to difficulty trying to weld continuously with ** holes. The infinitely controllable voltage on the Rtech *** makes it an excellent piece of kit for working on old cars. I'd recommend this *** to anyone.
28 November 2020

Used for home and work. Would be suitable for home and light professional use.So far the machine seems to be of good quality .
27 November 2020

Brilliant
27 November 2020

I purchased the welder for my hobby of restoring my Mini, I am a novice with some college training. The welder was easy to set up and use, the first welds were good from the start and I was able to produce neat welds with ** almost straightaway. The machine is compact and not too heavy and it's manouverable, so all in all I am very pleased with it. I would recommend it to anyone for their garage / workshop to do work on their car as a hobby!
26 November 2020

Amazing product
25 November 2020

I'm a professional mechanic and I repair all types of motor vehicles, plant and agricultural equipment and use the welder on all my projects. I'd recommend the welder to professionals amd serious DIY'ers alike. The quality seems excellent.
24 November 2020

Excellent quality and well packaged
24 November 2020

nice and easy to use
23 November 2020

Working great so far. A big step up from my old Sealey unit.
21 November 2020

Workshop welder Friends Excellent quality
21 November 2020

Overall excellent quality, recomend to everyone. Superb for building my 2x72 belt grinders.
20 November 2020

Really impressed straight out of the box easy setup settings great and feed smooth
20 November 2020

Used this week end and was very good. I?ve down sized and this is perfect for my classic restorations.
19 November 2020

I use this welder for rebuilding a project car. It has handled everything I have given it so far including sheet metal work. I would recommend to anybody in the same field as 180A seems to ever everything you could possibly need for a car project.
19 November 2020

excellent product.
19 November 2020

I use it for fabrication work. The quality of the product is first class.
18 November 2020

I use as a hobby, I build Hot Rod cars and Bobber motor cycles , as previously said I purchased on recommendation from friends in the same hobby, Quality seems good so far although I've not used it much yet .
16 November 2020

Have not used the welder yet
16 November 2020

Very happy with the mig
15 November 2020

Haven't used it yet but it looks and feels a great quality product , if I'm wrong I'll update review, and the packaging and delivery were spot on , a stress free transaction thank you
15 November 2020

The machine will be used for business use as well as hobby use. I'd certainly reccomned the product to any hobbyist, or car body shops, and it's certainly a nice little welder for carrying out small fabrication, very smooth delivery when welding, even at low power and wire speed it still lays down a good weld. The only little bit I would improvement quailty wise is the wire spool holder, with the 5kg rolls, the spool of wire can soon drop off the back edge, in my opnoin, it would be better if the ** in dolly was deeper, or the rear edge was made deeper to hold the spools of wire better.
13 November 2020

I was completely blown away by how good this Mig180 really is. I've been in the welding trade for 23 years, and having decided to set up a small workshop, I am restricted to 240v but need a welder. I was very apprehensive about getting a single phase welder as my experience with them in the past has always left a sour taste in my mouth. After a lot of research I decided upon the MIG 180 which is an inverter not the cheap transformer based ones you'd get for very similar price at a well known mart. First thing I notice when it arrived, was the weight, it feels like it has a reel of wire already in it making it a heavy little machine, as *** the blade (** movie) would say "heavy is good, heavy is reliable". It comes really well packaged! Setting up is same as any other MIG and is very straight forward. Nice to see you get a couple of extra tips in 0.6mm & 0.8mm and a handy little spanner for the tips and gas diffuser. Now I knew from reviews that this was better than a transformer 240v MIG, but I didn't think it would be this good! This little box packs a punch, it felt like I was using a 3 phase MIG on lower amps. Its smooth to operate and gives welds as good as high end machines in the right hands, I'm very impressed with it, easy weld up to 6mm. For the price of what you get, this is a bargain, its a single phase welder that thinks its powered by 3 phase! Now my only ** with it, 1, the gas line from the machine to the regulator is very soft and expands under gas pressure, but that's minor, and 2, the amp lcd readout only reads when the machine is welding, it would be great if it had a 20/30sec delay after you stop welding so you could view it. Both minor and do not effect this machines capabilities! I'd highly recommend this to everyone wanting a cheap MIG, a rookie learning to weld in his shed to professionals needing an easily portable MIG for site welding, its that good!!
13 November 2020

See previous comment Used to restore cafs and bikes
13 November 2020

Use this welder at home in garage for making gates etc. Great 240v welder especially for the price. Would recommend this welder as so easy to use even if your a novice.
12 November 2020

Welding customers vehicles. Excellent
12 November 2020

I can't really rate this product, my wife bought it for me for a Christmas present so other than checking that it fires up and attempts to wire and gas feed when the trigger is pressed I've not used it yet. Following my experiences with my previous R Tech MMA/TIG inverter powered welder I wanted an inverter powered MIG welder to replace my present, very long in the tooth MIG. This new welder appears to be as well made as the previous one.
11 November 2020

Although I consider myself as a novice *** and have been welding with my *** *** for some 7 years now, on various projects mainly car body work and occasionally thicker steel. I?ve set up my new Mig *** from R Tech and have used it once. It?s early days but it is a massive step up in quality from my old ***. The way it delivers the wire and *** is so smooth it makes welding so much easier than before. The variable voltage is excellent and provides the required adjustment to get my welding looking like a professional did it. Thanks R Tech. Love the Mig.
11 November 2020

Well packaged which is always the first mark of quality. Well made, and sits proudly alongside my Rtech Tig 160. Fires up fine, but not had a chance to test it yet due to a lack of wire. Perhaps include a small spool for running a full test in future (as some Migs come with a small spool)?
10 November 2020

Good quality welder used for vehical repairs
10 November 2020

Very happy with my new r-tech 180 welder. I'm a welder by trade in the marine sector and have bought this for use at home, would definitely recommend for anyone looking to weld from 0.8mm - 5mm steel with ease. Fantastic range of settings for different ** types/thickness of material and position of weld. Money well spent in my opinion.
10 November 2020

I am repairing a classic car and find the quality of the welds this machine produces is far better than my old welder (from a popular high street tool shop). I also make trailer chassis using 50x50x3 box section and find that the welds require less cleaning up than before. The machine is very well built and I expect it will last a long time.
10 November 2020

I use the mig180 in my small hobby workshop, its a great machine I would consider using one in my full time job. Quality seems to be great although I think a 5m torch should be standard.
06 November 2020

I'm a hobby welder and have upgraded from an old Clarke machine. This one is fantastic, easy to set up and producing some great welds using 0.8 wire and an Argon/CO2 gas mix. So far I have only praise!
05 November 2020

Great product, well made and easy to set up and use
05 November 2020

Fantastic
04 November 2020

Use for hobby welding Would recommend to anyone Quality of product excellent
03 November 2020

I have yet to use the welder but first impressions are of a very high quality item.
02 November 2020

Purchased for classic car restoration project
02 November 2020

Excellent machine, well impressed with it ,cannot say anymore realy
02 November 2020

I have an old Toyota Land Cruiser that needs lots of love and attention. I would recommend R Tech to anyone that is looking for this type of product. The quantity of the Mig 180 is far superior to others in the same price range.
