This device takes some getting used to. It works ok using the thin nickel strips provided. It holds a charge fairly well. I would recommend having whatever you are working on secured so you can concentrate on holding this device as it wants a certain pressure when you are doing the spot welds. The different current levels definitely have an effect so it is a good idea to try several settings if the first weld does not happen as you want.

As someone who frequently builds custom battery packs, I'm always on the lookout for tools that can speed up and simplify the assembly process. The AWithZ Handheld Spot Welder has become an invaluable tool in my workshop. This portable spot welder is lightweight and compact, making it easy to handle and position as needed. But don't let its size fool you - it delivers up to 400 amps of current to achieve strong, reliable nickel strip welds. The dual copper electrodes pressing from both sides helps ensure even contact and heat distribution. I've been consistently impressed with the quality of welds this little machine can produce. Welds form quickly and penetrate multiple layers of nickel strip. The built-in pulse time control lets you adjust duration to suit different thickness strips and battery types. One of my favorite features is the foot pedal control, which frees up both hands for positioning strips. The pedal gives you complete control over activating the pulse. There's also a convenient in-handle switch for hands-only operation. At its affordable price point, I think the AWithZ spot welder is a steal for anyone into battery building. The portability and effectiveness of this tool has sped up my pack assembly considerably. I can now easily weld packs with series connections on the go. I highly recommend it for battery enthusiasts, electricians, and hobbyists looking to expand their capabilities.

I'm thinking the gate they used couldn't handle the job. I got about 30 welds out of it before it shut off and the tips are showing they're in dead short on my meter. Just glad the lipo in it didn't get spicy. Maybe get a different one. I was in gear 2 and it was making fine welds with the supplied strips.

Works great for welding little rings for permanent jewelry. Got this to make my own permanent jewelry and I love it. For about 30$ I can make my own! When one bracelet costs 50$ at the boutique

This is what I learned after putting together 60 batteries. This welder is good, but it has to be on its terms. First, don't use this on tabbed batteries. That was a mistake. The tabs are thicker than the included nickel strip and the welder will have about a 50% success rate and welds break with the slightest mechanical movement. If you have tabbed batteries, cut the tabs off. The nickel strip included is perfect. Get more of that. Second, I noticed you get about 4 really good welds before needing to wait a minute. Seriously, once I learned to use this with a 60 second timer, things went a lot smoother. Third, the instructions will get you basic button operation, nothing more. Watch some videos if you never used one before. Once I learned about the tab problems and required time delays, I came to appreciate this little welder.

I have tried the style of spot welder with a big battery pack and 2 long wires to the contacts, and yes, they work. This spot welder saved me an immense amount of time in rebuilding my DeWalt lithium batteries. Wow. Fast, easy, solid spot welds, and the battery lasted impressively. After 3 completed batteries, so 30 cells and 60+ connections of 4 welds each, this unit still had battery left and was functioning perfectly. It did get warm in the hand and I hit the thermal shutdown threshold once when I was working fast. It got warm (not hot) and stopped welding for a few minutes, cooled down and kept going. Not a big deal since I used the time to solder the balance leads on. So far I really like it would buy another if continuous production were an issue. Swapping between 2 of them could keep a person welding nickel strip all day.
