great welder – Purchased this unit as a work item needed for welding RSJ and fence posts. It totally out performed my old welder and lays great welds using fluxcore wire. Great price, great unit, thoroughly recommend this product. Show details · 1
Stick/arc is garbage and can’t be used on structural applications – Regards 182 uni mig viper I purchased a unimig 182 viper, gas/gas less mig and arc welder. Have no issues with the mig side of the machine but the arc welder side continuously cuts out about an inch into a run. I flagged this as it was still under warranty, they took it in for repairs, said it had moisture on the circuit board...but the mig still… Read more
worked fine as it runs off the same board. Was supposedly replaced,when I went to use it on structural pfc I had the same problem of it cutting out. Contacted total tools to discuss the situation and got put threw to the south Australian sales rep [Name Initials Removed] and basically he got aggressive and argumentative over my discrepancy with the machine and told me word to the effect of I’m “ a b/s-er and basically must not know how to weld” I do not hold this sales rep in any form of regard and he needs an overhaul of his attitude and customer relations by uni mig and total tools. I’ve been a boiler maker/fitter for 30+ years and have had to work with a high standard in the industry as any other qualified tradesperson does. To be talked down to and abused the way I did is an unacceptable way to be treated as a paying customer, I have a unimig pro series in the workshop and this sub standard viper mig and seriously I shall never buy uni mig again. The staff at total tools are polite but the uni mig sales rep is as sub standard as the machines he so proudly sells. More than happy to leave all my contact details to discuss further.. Cheers Ash A
Great welder for first time user – This welder is perfect for home use and is great quality. First time welding using this machine made it a quick and easier process to learn. Very happy with this purchase. Highly recommend. Show details · 1
Fit for purpose – Being a retired Boilermaker, when I first unboxed this welder I was somewhat sceptical due to the size of the gun,cables and just the general lightweight appearance of everything. Having now used the machine for a while I must say I am pleasantly surprised at it's capabilities. If you bear in mind that the machine is intended for DIY backyard use… Read more · 1
you simply cannot go wrong with this product. I think it also would be marvellous for anyone learning to weld There are settings printed inside the spool feed door for pretty well all applications and I have found them to be reasonably accurate, if not, then certainly a good starting point. Fit for purpose I am very impressed with the welder and happy with my purchase.
Viper 182 MK2 bundle. Simple quality MIG welding – Only done a few test welds so far. Super easy to use. Plug in gas, put on spool of supplied 0.8mm wire. Follow settings guide inside cabinet and your welding. It's been over 10 years since I regularly MIG welded and this machine made it super easy to jump straight back in the hot seat in my shed at home. Bundle came with Welder, gas regulator, trolley, 0.8mm steel wire, consumables kit, MIG pliers, gloves and auto darkening helmet. Show details · 1

Easy to set up and easy to use – Most people that see my stick welding suggest that I would be better off using glue. Not so with my Unimig which is easy to set up and use. My first few welds have been strong and clean and I'm looking forward to my next project with it. Show details · 1

Solid, simple and confidence inspiring – This is my first welder and I'm a complete novice. I have heaps to learn but I know have picked a great learning platform in the Viper 182 Mk II. Any issues with my welding are about my developing skill and not any shortcomings of the machine. I'm looking forward to growing with it. Show details · 1

Unimig 182 mark 2 – This is my third welder and I thinking the best I have used love the all metal wire feed and suggested voltage and wire feed is just about spot on Show details · 1
Omg this is an awesome upgrade – Id started with the weldskill 135, could never get decent welds, perhaps I was using it wrong. But this welder out of the box with default settings it is working amazing. I was dreading trying it thinking all the positive reviews were over stating it. Nope this welder is awesome for a novice like me, best upgrade ever!!! Show details · 1
Awesome tool – This welder is a pleasure to work with and a 10A plug means I can use it anywhere. It is a breeze to use. Even for a beginner. Currently teaching the better half how to use it. She loves it and has come up with lots of projects...sigh! Show details · 1

Great – The actual machine is smooth and simple to operate. With layout and design perfect. The instruction manual was so easy to use due to large colorful diagrams. One very happy customer. Show details · 1
excellent mig choice – I'm a boilermaker of 15+ years and this little mig is excellent. smooth wire feeding, consistent arc make it a pleasure to weld with even with cheap gasless wire. the only downside to this machine is its mma capabilities. I tried running a 3.2mm 7016 @110-120A and it plain didn't like it. arc striking was ok but it just couldn't push through. it might run a gp better but I don't have any to test with. Show details · 1
total recomend – Had a lousy mig for years.....this one welds great straight out of the box,and is a pleasure to use 2mm -> 10mm steel ...mma is not as good as unimig welder (arc stops) but I don't care, got it for mig function only. My unimig 170 is 10yrs old and still works fantastic. Show details · 1

Awesome welder, simple to setup – At 1st I was a little worried it wasn't going to be big enough for the projects I wanted to do. But once it got it all set up it did it with ease. Great quality. Feels good in the hand, manual comes with heaps of info. Show details · 1
