Default Horrible Freight 220V spotwelder

Has anybody bought and used the Horrible Freight 220V spotwelder that is
on sale right now? A spot welder seems like a simple enough thing that
it might actually work.

Thanks,
Bob

I have one. It welds just fine. The only problem I've had is I can't
adjust the handle so that it is completely flat when closed. It is made in
Armenia.

I have the 110 Volt version. It overheats after about ten welds in a row.
Very low duty cycle, probably 5-10%. O.K. for occasional use.
