Welder was well packaged to avoid damage during transport. Arrived sooner than expected so I haven't had the opportunity to clean up my garage yet and need to clear an area that is free of flammable material and junk. Can't wait to see if such a lightweight machine performs as advertised. I am a total Newbie at this welding discipline so it is going to be a lot of trial and error and a steep learning curve to get halfway decent welding joints.

Hi. Wanted to order some more equipment. And i didnt have to pay more delivery fees as my first order was above 1500. You guys helped me by shipping the second order with the first even thou you didnt really have to. I also had a query about one of the products and that was sorted out the very next day. In this country where we so used to bad service it is refreshing to see there is still people out there That value the saying " the customer is King" Thanks Guys.

I had an excellent shopping experience with TSA. Their service was outstanding, and the pricing was well above my expectations - in fact, the best prices I've seen. I'm very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend them.

Mar 9, 2026

Only place I could source 1k spool of ss mig wire. Ordered online that day from 3 different suppliers at the same time ish. TSA was the first package I received.

Mar 9, 2026

The operating manual supplied with the machine is a worthless piece of paper. I could not download manuals form the internet. I phoned and asked for a manual but nothing was send to me. I still do not know how to operate this machine.

Dec 5, 2025

Welder was delivered promptly (2 days Jhb - Ctn). Unfortunately the positive cable and electrode holder were missing. I contacted Stuart who immediately sent the missing part by courier. It arrived this morning. Mistakes can happen, and I really appreciate the promptness and efficiency with which this was resolved. Thank you Stuart.

Makes welding easy. Very impressed. Keep in mind that the wire feeding roller is only 0.8mm and 1mm. I made mistake of requesting 0.9mm wire which cant be used with this roller.

Sep 15, 2025

Received my goods promptly. When i thought something was missing from my order, it was addressed immediately and i received a callback to explain where to look. No stress. Bought a few times online with TSA and always been an easy and simple process. Thank you TSA

TSA Welding Supplies had the cheapest price for the welder, accessories and consumables I ordered. My order qualified for free shipping and arrived in Durban 2 days after checking out; order was placed 10am Monday morning and arrived Wednesday morning. This all in the middle of December, peak shipping delay time it seems :). I'm very impressed and happy with the service I've received from TSA Welding Supplies. Prices are great, range of products showed everything I needed, and the delivery was super fast. I will be ordering again. Thank you TSA Welding Supplies, keep up the good work.

I bought a gasless mugarc 145 welder. I have not used it much yet but has worked well when I did use it. Delivery was prompt and the whole shoping experience was totally painless.

Jan 25, 2026

I enjoy shopping with TSA since I have to order all items. I reside in a rural area. Apart from the experience with the Anti Spatter Spray, I am most satisfied with their service and products.

Jan 13, 2026

I recently ordered two rolls of flux core welding wire from TSA, specifically E71T‑11, as I required multi‑pass capability for my application. Unfortunately, the product I received was E71T‑GS, which is a single‑pass wire, substandard for my needs, and completely unsuitable for the job. When I contacted TSA about the error, I was informed that they did not have stock of the E71T‑11 wire and that their supplier would only reopen the following week. When I asked why the wrong product was sent without any communication or verification, the response I received was simply: "They should have checked." There was no acknowledgement of the inconvenience, no proposed solution, and no offer to correct the mistake. The overall attitude was blunt, dismissive, and completely lacking in customer care. After this, I received no further response or follow‑up from TSA. Overall experience: extremely disappointing. Incorrect product supplied, no accountability, and no effort made to remedy the situation. I cannot recommend TSA based on this interaction.

Dec 2, 2025

Bought Migarc 225 and 0.9 welding wire as the advertising says 0.6 - 1.0 capability on the machine. The welder only comes with 0.8 and 1.0 capability and you need to struggle and try to get parts for the other welding wire sizes. Even the welding wire feeder van only fo 0.8 and 1.0. Very Very bad. Sleeky trick of supplies.

Feb 16, 2026

I have an older migarc 165 with the hard wired torch and received the Euro connector torch. This was no fault of TSA as I was not aware that the order would be for the newer model 165.

May 3, 2026

Lots of options available on website with clear detail on what one is buying. Purchase experience was quick and efficient with delivery as promised.

May 7, 2026

The guys oferred extra parts that was necessary to complete my purchase, which they combined on one delivery to save me costs.

Ordered ESAB Swarm 20 Welding Helmet which I received 2 days earlier than expected. Very impressed with my new welding helmet. The quality of this ESAB Swarm20 Helmet is above par and would highly recommend.

Dec 5, 2025

Service was excellent and everything delivered fast. The equipment looks to be of excellent quality and will order more accessories from TSA.

May 31, 2026

I bought a portable welding machine from TSA it was a online purchase and strange I was out of town whiles sitting at the Guest House on a Wednesday night As I was scrolling and searching for a welder I came across TSA and paid, on Friday afternoon when I arrived at home the parcel was already in my possession in good shape. I will recommend TSA to anyone without doubt.
