Shopping at ARCCAPTAIN? See all current ARCCAPTAIN discount codes and deals, checked regularly.

ARCCAPTAIN makes welding gear for the garage, the farm and the job site: MIG, TIG and stick welders, plasma cutters, helmets and the wire, rods and consumables to keep them going. It suits hobbyists making their first bead and fabricators who want a multi-process machine without paying big-name prices. The US store prices in dollars, offers free shipping on orders over $100 and a 30-day money-back guarantee, and runs a used equipment section for anyone after a cheaper machine.

What's worth a look

Here are a few machines and helmets from the current range, from a handheld stick welder up to an all-in-one combo.

If you're starting out, the ARC140D handheld stick welder is the cheapest way in: a 110V machine you can carry to the job. The MIG205MP is aimed at people who want one box for everything. It's sold as a pulse MIG welder and cutter combo, and the site offers several bundles of it. Bundles are the pattern across the store. The TIG200P, for example, comes on its own or with a foot pedal, an aluminum welding kit or a "ProSaver" bundle, so check those options before buying accessories separately.

A quick guide to the machine types. MIG is the easiest to learn and the most common choice for car repair and general fabrication. TIG is slower but gives cleaner welds, and an AC/DC TIG like the TIG200P is what you need for aluminum. Stick welding handles outdoor work and dirty or rusty metal well. Plasma cutters slice through sheet and plate. If you're not sure, the multi-process machines cover more than one of these in a single box. Don't forget a helmet: the auto-darkening models here start at about $50. You'll also find gloves, wire, rods, tungsten electrodes and extension cords, so you can kit out a new setup in one order and clear the $100 free shipping threshold easily.

Current offers

• 5% off your first order when you sign up for ARCCAPTAIN's emails.
• A Halloween Sale is listed on the site right now, and most machines show a lower price next to a crossed-out one, like the ones in the cards above.
• Free shipping on orders over $100.

How to save more

• Price the bundle, not just the machine. On the CUT55 plasma cutter page, for example, the Basic CUT Pack is $245.99 against $229.99 for the cutter alone, and the site says it saves $75 against buying the parts separately. If you'd buy consumables anyway, it usually works out cheaper.
• Look at used machines. The used welder section sells returned and pre-owned machines below the new price. Our MIG200 check turned up a used unit at $329.99.
• Stack the email discount with free shipping. Most machines are well over $100, so you'll get free shipping anyway. Sign up for the 5% before your first order rather than after.
