Any experience of Aldi/ Lidle el Cheapo welders?


I have a couple and tried to use one a few months back with zero
success.


Not sure if what I was trying to do was practical i.e replage a
damaged M5 threaded rod on a stove glass holding clip.


It's likely one of these things an experienced welder might be able to
make work OK.

It's a skill I've never mastered. Despite having a fairly decent MIG and
practising. Mainly to weld the thin stuff on car bodywork. Thicker stuff
is easier.
