Spot welders

[maarkmohamed]

Quick question since I've been out of the scene for a while now, is the kweld still the best spot welder? Anything new on the market that's better then it? If still k weld where would be the best place to buy it?

Thank you

Read up on the copper/nickel sandwich. If the copper and nickel isn't too thick, the Malectrics seems to be doing well.

If the kWeld is in stock and it fits in your budget, I thinks its the best out there.

k-weld nice stuff but early adopters we’re in for some serious dollars in upgrades. these days the price is up there but current design can’t be beat by price or quality. Then again Agniusm made welders obsolete for me. NESE Modules, from Agniusm

have you used those with salvaged cells? I know that has been discouraged by Agniusm because of the critical friction fit of the cells but that was the main reason I wanted my 1st pack to be those modules, I could individually inspect the cells after several charging cycles or harder rides and weed out poor performers quickly.

also wanted to ask if you used insulated tools or just a normal screwdriver and a gloved hand when assembling the loaded modules?

salvaged cells

Never. I tried that route a decade ago. Not worth my time or trouble. I have at least a dozen unused vruzend kits. NESE modules are all grade A new cells.
