Motor GuardPro Plus Stud Welder Kit (2250)

Overall, a great product. The studs hold well. What I've found, on our Jetta, is only weld it for a split second. The instructions recommend 1/2 a second to a second, but that seems to be too much for thin metal. Not too happy with the Magna-Wire. The 16 gauge seems too thin and broke before we could put much tension on it.Will look at the 12 gauge. Recommendation: the tips kept falling out, especially the one for the Magna-Wire. If you can put a stronger magnet, that may solve it. Also, the studs are supposed to be able to be held at the top of the welder, but barely hold. Again, a stronger magnet should improve this. Recommend that they include some 12 gauge Magna-Wire in this kit.

I had looked at this same welder gun on one of the advertiser sites that advertise on custom car shows. Restomotive had the better price, the better slide hammer and 500 pins v 100 pins by the other seller. You can go through a lot of pins quickly. I probably used 20 on a small dent. A pro probably could have used less but I am a perfectionist. This was the first time I've used a Stud Welder but it was simple to use. Actually it was fun to use. Instructions were clear. I'm very happy with the gun and plan to get plenty of use out of it with the two cars I'm working on.

The gun works very well. The slide hammer is hard to tighten securely around the pins. I attached some pictures of the product catalog included with the gun that should have been on the Amazon listing.

A nice quality, made in USA stud gun for a reasonable price. I own a restoration shop and so stud guns are something that gets used a bit around here. We've tried cheap systems from discount stores in strip malls that sell foreign made tools and we've tried units costing three times as much coming off of fancy red and black tool trucks. At the end of the day, this system falls solidly in the bottom 25% in terms of price, yet will stand it's ground against even the most expensive in terms of quality. When my employees finish tearing up enough tools that I need to order some more stud guns, these will get my business the next time again.

i got this to pull dents out of my truck that gets bounced off trees regularly. the instructions have a warning about extension cord length and wire gauge. PAY ATTENTION to this. i ended up building an extension cord for this thing and wow what a difference. i still suck at body work but i think that's a failing of mine and not this tool. it comes with a bunch of pins. i haven't even gotten close to using half of them yet. it's heavy and feels well made. i've tried to fix two areas on the truck so far and it worked WAY better than the drill a screw into the fender pullers available at autozone.

works great

I remeber when these systems first came out and the minimum you'd pay was well over $400. If you are looking to do your own body work and a puller is one of your needs then this item is far and above the best way to accomplish those tasks. This is and excellent product and far better than the bottom line units that don't include a good slide hammer either. So don't purchase the bottom line and then buy a slide hammer, by this kit and it will be about the same but you have a much better and longer lasting unit to boot.

EXCELENTE EQUIPO PARA PODER INICIARSE EN EL MUNDO DEL HOJALATERO Y LA PINTURA AUTOMOTRIZ, YA QUE ES DE UN MATERIAL PLÁSTICO DURADERO DE FUERTE CONSTRUCCIÓN Y DE MATERIALES QUE SE VEN Y PERCIBEN MUY FUERTES PARA EL RIGUROSO TRABAJO QUE SE LE DARÁ, AL SOLDAR LOS PERNOS EN LA LAMINA AUTOMOTRIZ Y EL GOLPETEO DEL MARTILLO SOBRE LOS PERNOS SOLDADOS, SIN EMBARGO SUS PIEZAS DE RECAMBIO Y AMPLIACIÓN ("POR QUE NO SOLO SIRVE PARA UNA SOLA COSA BÁSICA DE SOLDAR LAMINA AUTOMOTRIZ") SON MUY COSTOSAS... PERO DEJANDO A UN LADO EL TENER QUE PENSAR EN AMPLIAR SU EQUIPO CON LAS DIFERENTES OPCIONES QUE DISPONE, LO QUE PODEMOS DECIR DE ESTE APARATO ES QUE ES UN EQUIPO DE TRABAJO BIEN FABRICADO Y SOBRE TODO DE BUENA CALIDAD EN SUS MATERIALES QUE LO CONSTRUYERON, YA QUE HASTA EL MARTILLO INVERSO ESTA ECHO DE BUEN ACERO, BIEN PULIDO Y PESADO QUE DAN GANAS DE ABOLLAR LA LAMINA DE TU AUTOMÓVIL MAS DE UNA VEZ PARA TENER EL MOTIVO DE HACERLE AL HOJALATERO JUGANDO CON ESTE EQUIPO PARA SACARLE LOS GOLPES DE LA LAMINA ... YO SI RECOMIENDO EL USO DE ESTE EQUIPO PARA LOS APRENDICES DE HOJALATERO.

Très satisfait

Awesome tool for pulling dents on real cars ( not plastic cars)

Just did a test weld , works fine . No hard case but otherwise as shown

The kit came as advertised, super simple to use. Don't know why anyone would pay more for the higher end kits as this unit works flawlessly.
