Choosing between two compact 110V gasless MIG welders is a common fork in the road for welding and soldering equipment buyers. Do you want a machine that covers more processes, or one that's lighter and easier to carry? The FEIFANKE 135A Flux Core MIG Welder and the FEMEROL 130A 2-in-1 Flux Core/Stick Welder take different sides of that trade-off. Both work without a shielding gas cylinder, so setup stays simple in a home garage or farm shop.
Quick Verdict
Pick the FEIFANKE 135A if you want the broader process list. Pick the FEMEROL 130A if you want a lighter machine. For most DIY users, either machine will handle the job; the choice comes down to whether you need the extra process option.
Price and Specs at a Glance
| Feature | FEIFANKE 135A | FEMEROL 130A |
|---|---|---|
| Listed Price | USD 99.99 | USD 86.99 |
| Price Bar | ||
| Max Output | 135A | 130A |
| Welding Modes | Flux Core Gasless MIG, Lift TIG (extra torch required), Stick | Flux Core MIG, Stick (MMA) |
| Weight | 13.51 pounds | About 10.2 pounds |
Where Each Wins
- Capability: The FEIFANKE 135A has a 135A max output, which tops the 130A rating on the FEMEROL.
- Portability: The FEMEROL 130A weighs about 10.2 pounds, making it noticeably easier to carry than the 13.51-pound FEIFANKE.
Product Notes
FEIFANKE 135A Flux Core MIG Welder
The FEIFANKE 135A Flux Core MIG Welder costs $99.99 and relies on an IGBT inverter to keep the unit compact and efficient. It covers gasless flux-core MIG, Stick, and Lift TIG from the same housing, with a 30% duty cycle for intermittent garage and farm jobs. Its synergic control sets voltage and wire speed after you enter wire diameter (.030-inch or .035-inch) or amperage in the 30-135A range, and the LED display makes adjustments clear. It can even suggest metal thickness, which is helpful for first-time welders. The feed is semi-automatic, so the wire advances as you weld without a separate gas setup. The main limitation is that the Lift TIG mode needs a separate torch, so you won't be using that process until you add the accessory.
FEMEROL 130A 2-in-1 Flux Core/Stick Welder
The FEMEROL 130A 2-in-1 Flux Core/Stick Welder costs $86.99 and gives you a synergic MIG mode that matches voltage and wire feed automatically once you pick a wire diameter. If you're comfortable setting parameters yourself, the manual mode lets you adjust current and wire feed speed directly. The listed modes are flux-core MIG and Stick, which cover most DIY, garage, farm, and outdoor maintenance tasks. It's compact enough to take where you're working. The package includes a MIG torch, electrode holder, and ground clamp, so the essential pieces come in the box. The limitation is that the process list stops at those two modes, so if you plan to do TIG-style work later, this machine won't have that option.
Final Choice by Use Case
- Multi-process projects: Go with the FEIFANKE 135A. Its three-mode design covers more repairs and creative metal work.
- Straightforward work and easy handling: Go with the FEMEROL 130A. It handles flux-core MIG and Stick, and it's the lighter machine to move around.
