Mig Welding Spool on Gun for MIG180, MIG181, PROMIG250, MIG251, MTS251, MTS255S & MTS255HF

BRILLIANT

good as to be expected

Used this type of gun before great

Bought to try and weld aluminium as my old MIG could not cope and could not feed the soft aluminium wire without constant buckling. This gun is not too heavy and has a 5 metre cable. No problems at all, feeds the wire very well, easy to load and use. Feels robust and well built. Will be trying it out on vehicle chassis as the 5 metre cable should reach the back and both sides.

Excellent service from rtech purchased from them on three separate occasions a 181 mig an auto mask and a spool gun every time no fuss and next day delivery Well done

Light motorcycle repair use, recommended by a friend who has the 180. quality seems good

Wow, great advice and super fast delivery

Excellent

Well made, quality tool

Excellent product wirks brilliant.

Not received as was not in stock when ordered.

very good product very happy

Very quick delivery, Very happy with the service

Absolutely fantastic quality with for once a proper length earth lead on it, using the mig 181 for car body repairs mainly, but have tried on thicker stuff and is capable

Not used it yet but it feels and looks like good quality

Much more effective than I thought makes welding alumimium much easier.

IS FOR A CUSTOMER

Fantastic

For aluminium use, looks well made, not used yet but not expecting any isses based on what Ive seen from the welder so far.

This is my second spool gun now and so far so good

the r-tech MIG 180 welder is a good welder

Excellent product, built to industrial standards.

Excellent

Quality product and easy to set up

The Mig 181 is a excellent product and easy to use with the auto select feature and I would recommend it to others.

Good works well.

Not used this yet, but looks great & superb packaging. First Ally job that come up I will be using it. Have seen the tutorial videos. Looks to be a superb tool.

it works easy to use

Makes aluminium welding so easy ! Should have bought one years ago .

Great add on to my mig welder and I am getting good results.

Great bit of kit, 5 year warrenty sold it for me

great bit of kit and FANTASTIC CUSTOMER SERVICE what more needs to be said

Welds well

I bought this as an attachment for my MIG180 to allow me to expand into aluminium welding. I have yet to use it but it seems well made and I have watched it in use on the promotional videos, so I would expect to be able to recommend it to my friends and acquaintances.

Cool addition and easy to use.

Excellent quality and after sales service.

Excellent value for what it is compared to universal units. Superb product. Thank you. Well recommended.

well built and intuitive to use

Top quality

yet to try seems a good concept.

Can't wait to try this out

Already had and used a ** version.Whilst more expensive but not excessive,This R-Tech version is far superior

Any one who thinks they cannot weld aluminium, Well you can with this spool-** and ist very easy top product

Easy to use first time straight from the box.

I brought the spool ** as I don’t now how to tig weld, it’s such a easy item to use & is very fast, I’m a complete novice at aluminium welding & even I managed to get good results in a very shot time, it’s a very handy piece of equipment to have

Absolutely brilliant no complaints at all and the price unbeatable super fast delivery r-tech never fail to make me smile

Fantastic Welder

Bit the bullet and bought this along with my new mig from R-Tech. Have in no way tried it but I think it is a very nice bit of kit that is really well made. I dont do much welding on Alluminium but its nice to have there for the odd times the need arises.

Used for fabrication & repairs in my home workshop, easy to use for any home welder. Excellent quality & well-made product

I have never used a spool ** before and had a alloy section to weld so easy to use with no practice as it was a rush job really impressed and the help I received in getting the wire I would need to start with from your team very pleased.

Ace

looked at these for a while, really happy i contacted R-Tech and got one.

perfect for our requirements

good

Brilliant

Works a treat, first spool ** I’ve used, no more birds nests at the rollers while trying to keep the torch lead as straight as possible!

Not used the ** yet, but the equipment looks great as I expected

Recomended

Have tried to weld alloys in the past with limited success, the spool ** is another level and has removed the stoppages that plagued me in the past. I am a DIY user and the ease of using the gun is improving my results, Although listed as an entry level item the build quality is superb and comfortable to handle in use.

This machine should do everything I want for my hobby engineering. I was looking for a better quality MIG welder, to replace my aging one, with the ability to weld aluminium and this fits the bill.

Not used the spool ** yet but it looks and feels as good a standard as all of the other R-TECH items I have.

Spot on

Havent jad chance to use this yet but seems sturdy and well built looking forward to trying this out

excellent product easy to handle

To be used to make framing . Only tried out today, first impression easy to use so I would think it’s suitable for anyone keen to weld. Appears good quality.

Occasional use,small jobs,recommend to anyone who doesn't want to move on to tig (space and expense of another machine)quality kit as you'd expect from R-TECH ideal for small jobs but I'm sure would work all day if needed

Excellent.

As ever great quality built in the UK equipment does what it says on the can.

excellent

Welding ally bodies. Recommended for any workshop. Very well made.

Good quality and as expected

For alloy welding. Anyone who fancies a shot of welding alloy Very pleased with this.

Sorry for the delay in the review as it took time to set my project up. The spool ** works fantastic as a diy welder and is easy to set up. Well worth the money.

Fantastic products

Quality product with good length hose / cable

100%

Looks a nice tool to use, but it is large and heavy, especially when the spool is fitted.

Ordering could not have been any simpler. Got exactly what I wanted and a pretty quick

***

Very easy to use

I have not used this product yet. It certainly looks a good quality product.

Works well but no instructions at all or guidance in the welder manual( this says to use a Teflon liner and roller ). Feels a bit cheaply made and might not last long

works brilliantly

Easy to use with quality

quality piece of kit

I use this for light to medium aluminium welding, I would recommend this to those wishing to weld aluminium without having to buy a different machine. The spool ** has very long control leads, a big asset, it is well made and runs smoothly.

Ease of swopping from ordinary MIG torch to spool ** is very easy , great add -on to the machine and well worth the very reasonable extra cost.

Haven’t had a chance to use it yet but the quality seems good

Ace for birmabright landrover panels. But also good on 0.6m stainless wire. Buy both ally wire grades for options, 0.8mm. Well worth buying with a mig set or just anyway :o) The wire drive looks decent quality.

as before

Excellent product from r tech, just what I need for quick easy jobs

Good

spool ** seems ok but time will tell

Excellent

Worked great first time on aluminium considering I had no previous experience Recommend it to anyone particularly with such a great price compared to every other supplier

Use for *** in hobby Colleagues and friends in engineering. Good ** works well and makes *** welding easier.

Works really well, the welds are better than expected plus quick delivery. Thanks

Verry good

not so good on alloy. the use is easy but not 100%effective on 6mm *** series alloys

I haven’t used it yet so can only rate it on the information from what other people say. The info I got from YouTube Doubleboost channel made me decide to buy your kit. I am a total novice and have never welded anything this is going to be my retirement hobby.

Well made bit of kit

A good addition to the 250 amp mig welder. Makes an already good welder even more versatile.

Brilliant spool *** for aluminium welding !! Top class !!

I use this product for repairs, but it is intended for my own fabrication work. I would reccommend this product to people who occasionally need to weld aluminium and need a tool that can be quickly set up. Especially for those that want to utilise exisiting welders. In typical R-Tech fassion. This is a decent quality product as one might expect. I had a bit of trouble getting used to the wire feed to begin with. I had a little trouble with the spool sticking a bit. Which was causing inconsistencies in the wire speed. A quick call to Customer Support, helped to make sense of things. But it probably took a couple of hours to settle everything down. The situation eased as the spool discharged , which resulted in less friction and a more stable wire speed. I have held off giving a review, until I have been able to make effective welds that hold together. This I have now achieved. I have managed a weld that looks similar to how a weld should look, as opposed to pile of pigeon droppings ! I am pleased to say that I have had the confidence to do a couple of hours worth of welding on a customer's work and been satisfied with the results. Now everything is running smoothly, the results are starting to appear. I have great *** in R-Tech products and I believe that this aluminium welding torch will be no exception. It is indeed starting to produce some worthwhile results after only a couple of hours' practice.

Excellent bit of kit,will come in really handy. Fantastic company and would definitely recommend

The quality of the product is first class.

Works well

Great product and well built very good piece of kit for the money

Brilliant for Aluminium and stainless. Has to be used with pure Argon though. Hgihly recommended

Amateur user, but would easily work for a professional too as it’s a great bit of kit. A firm recommendation from me.

I use this mainly for aluminium welding as it saves having to swop reels and liners on the machine. I would recommend to anyone doing aluminium welding, makes life a lot easier and less wastage. The product is of good quality with a good robust feel about it.

Brilliant to use! Has been a true asset!

Great little add on

No concers

Superb - never thought I would be able to weld aluminium. I bought the MIG from you because of the utube demonstration videos. It would have taken me a lot longer to get going if I had had to rely on the paper guidance.

very easy to get on with and good product for the price

first time of trying this gun,easy to set up and understand some instuction would be nice but not a problem

*****

This is the first time I have used a spool gun but with advice from Daz and mike I had some very successful welds on 10mm aluminium plate.

Looking forward to getting proficient at using the spool gun. First impressions are very good.

Bought as a add on to my mig pro 250. Done almost a KG of aluminium wire now and its a dream to use.

I use R-tech equipment for small scale project and prototype work,this equipment is perfect for advanced welders and beginners alike,being an inverter mig it is smooth in operation and very forgiving and easy to use and adjust the case of the machine is robust but not overly heavy I have been using my mig and plasma cutter for5+ years now without any faults but I can phone R-tech tech anytime for advice parts or repair

Works faultlessly and I look forward to using more

Great piece of kit I'm very happy with.

*****

This adds to the versatility of the welder on my car restoration projects.

Not tried yet, average quality

ok for use

Seems to be good quality, and like the fact that I can adjust it at the gun when hooked up,to the 255S

Everything was great. Great company to deal with.

Great for small alloy welding work

looks good not used yet

Good

Seems well made

Very pleased with the spool gun. Bought primarily for aluminium welding, pleased to see it will also take steel spools!

Great value and quality product
