Welcome to the Club, flashtel!
I can only comment on the device shown in the picture because I have done my fair share of electrodes and holders.
The device could have a great deal of value IF it had thicker cables to connect it to to the welder.
The springs make it a great device because it equals the pressure on both electrodes as you do the weld, a very important feature to get consistent welds.
But I can tell you that thin wires do not have the capability to carry the current needed to do a good weld, specially on the thicker nickel strips.
I must say also, the electrodes it has on do not provide as good a weld nugget as those that come with the kWeld. At least in my experience: They stick when welding thicker material (0.20 mm)
If I were to buy this unit, I would change the wires.
