TOOLIOM 135A Gasless Flux Core MIG Welder 110V (3-in-1 MIG/Stick/Lift TIG) with LCD Display
Product description
What this welder is for
If you want one machine that can cover multiple welding styles, the TOOLIOM 135A 3-in-1 is built around that idea. On paper, it combines gasless flux-cored MIG, stick welding, and Lift TIG (you’ll need a TIG torch sold separately). That mix is especially handy for DIY repairs, jobsite fixes, and small fabrication work where buying and maintaining multiple dedicated welders would be a hassle.
The biggest appeal here is practical: you get a setup that’s meant to let you switch processes as your projects demand it, and you get an LCD display with live numerical feedback so you’re not tuning blind. That said, it’s still a compact, entry-to-mid range 110V welder—so if your priority is heavy-duty production welding all day long, you may find it a bit limiting.
Key points
For flux-core MIG, it’s designed to run gasless, which makes setup quicker and reduces the “extra gear” side of MIG. For stick work, it adds controls meant to improve starting behavior and arc steadiness. For Lift TIG, it targets cleaner joins—though you should plan on sourcing the TIG torch separately.
There’s also a user-friendly angle: the machine lets you choose wire size and metal thickness, then recommends an appropriate starting voltage and wire speed. It’s the kind of guidance that helps if you’re learning or just want less trial-and-error.
One question to keep in mind: are you likely to use all three processes, or would a single-purpose welder fit you better? If you only MIG most of the time, the “3-in-1” value depends on how often you’ll actually switch modes.
What you’ll notice in everyday use
The LCD digital display is the feature that feels most “real” during setup. Since it provides live numerical feedback of your welding current, it’s easier to make informed adjustments instead of guessing based on appearance alone.
Control-wise, the welder uses a precision synergic setting approach. The wire feeding speed is adjustable, and there’s also fine-tuning capability of ±3V. On top of that, there’s a flexible recommended range depending on wire diameter—so you’re not starting from zero.
A micro example: imagine you’re doing a small repair on mild steel. You pick the flux-core wire size (0.030” or 0.035”), set the approximate material thickness, and let the machine recommend the initial parameters. From there, you can tweak based on what your arc/current readings are doing, instead of relying purely on sound and visual cues.

Pros
- Gasless flux-cored MIG can reduce setup complexity compared with gas-assisted MIG.
- 3-in-1 process coverage (MIG, stick, Lift TIG) helps when your projects aren’t all the same.
- Hot Start and Arc Force are geared toward smoother stick starts and a more stable arc.
- LCD display provides live numerical feedback, which helps dialing things in.
- Portable build for a 110V class machine, with a carry handle.
Where it may fall short
The less convincing part is the “jack of all processes” tradeoff. While it offers Lift TIG, the TIG torch is sold separately, so your total cost and setup still depends on what you have on hand.
Also, the stated capacity points to mild steel up to 2/5" thick. If your typical projects push thicker material, or if you need heavy-duty duty-cycle performance (not specified here), this might feel more like a capable home/workshop tool than a serious production welder.
Finally, beginners will probably appreciate the simplified setup, but more advanced users may still want deeper control than what’s described—especially if you’re trying to optimize beyond the recommended starting points.
Compatibility & requirements
For MIG with flux core, you’ll want to use the stated 0.030” or 0.035” flux-core welding wire. If you plan to use Lift TIG, keep in mind the TIG torch is sold separately, so you’ll need to budget for that to actually run the TIG mode.
Who it’s for (and who should skip it)
It makes sense if you want one 110V welder that can handle common metalworking tasks—repairs, shop projects, and moderate fabrication—without committing to separate machines.
It may not suit you if you mostly weld one process and never touch stick or Lift TIG, or if you regularly work with material thicker than what’s mentioned for mild steel. It’s also not the best match if you want a fully “ready to TIG out of the box” experience due to the torch being sold separately.
Is it worth it?
Buy the TOOLIOM 135A gasless flux core welder if you’re looking for a compact 110V machine that can realistically cover flux-core MIG, stick, and Lift TIG and you value a digital LCD readout plus controls designed to reduce common frustrations like stick sticking and arc instability.
Skip it if your work is mainly one welding style and you don’t need the extra modes, or if you’re expecting it to behave like a high-output production welder. The 135A class and the stated thickness limit suggest it’s better framed as a versatile workshop solution, not a heavy-duty replacement for everything.
Mini FAQ
Does it require gas for MIG? It’s described as a gasless flux core MIG welder, so you wouldn’t be setting up shielding gas for MIG in this configuration.
Can it do Lift TIG right away? Lift TIG is included as a capability, but the description says the TIG torch is sold separately, so you may need to add that.
What wire sizes does it support? It’s described as compatible with common 0.030” and 0.035” flux core wire sizes.
Is the LCD useful for tuning? Yes—based on the description, the display provides live numerical feedback of your welding current, which helps you adjust with more confidence.
Is it strong enough for thicker steel? The stated guidance targets mild steel up to 2/5" thick. If your projects go beyond that, it may not be the right fit.
