is this better than the $5 aluminum as it claims?

For me this is as good as a more expensive one, I have a grinder I paid 40 for and they work about the same. The magnet that holds the top together is not that strong, it will fall off if you turn it over

It's great. I've had it for about 3 months and the only problem is when you go to grind it's a little difficult to turn because of how small the top is. It's hard to get a grip but once you do you get your money's worth.

That question was a little confusing but I'm gonna answer the best I can I dislike aluminum grinders very much they get gritty and flake off this one is not aluminum not quite sure what it is but it's of very good quality all the way down to the screen I love this grinder and it's my longest lasting one.

I would say not aluminum because I was rough with mine a couple of times and it started to rust.

absolutely... aluminum is soft metal. Suggest drilling a pilot hole first though.

No. It sure looks like stainless. I am not 100% sure, though. It certainly doesn't look like aluminum.The seller should post this kind of information, I think.

Those parts are not pure aluminum, their is lead in the metal. My coating came off and exposed the actual metals. see my recent review. This is very dangerous lead based metal.

Titanium is tougher than aluminum, has a higher melting point, doesn't weigh any more, and is more corrosion resistant. That's why it twice as expensive, and worth it.

Do you want to know if you can weld an aluminum spool with this welder, if you are really good with a welder maybe, but this is not even close to what I would use on aluminum? Aluminum is a real pain and TIG is the only way to go if you want it to hold. For what it is it is not bad and not needing to haul a tank around makes it handy but this welder is not meant for any sort of serious welding. You can get a stick welder for light aluminum jobs for around the same money and if you are new to welding get extra aluminum sticks and practice on scrap first.

No, it's better. Friendly Plastic had a problem with going brittle over time. Instamorph has been very stable for me.

It is definitely Aluminium, the magnet doesn't lie. I went back to open sights so if you want to try it out a little cheaper I just listed the one I bought for $80 on amazon.

I am sorry the only source I looked at was consumer report. I did not look at the aluminum removal. It is rated higher than braun .

When I purchased this wire, I read a lot of reviews, and some of these reviews contained claims that the wire was copper plated aluminum. I got this wire from SatMaximum. They claimed it to be copper in the ad, but I see that they must have started over with the ad, because there are only 3 reviews on this new ad, which makes no claim either way on its composition. Overall I am happy with the product, although it does appear to have a silvery core, which may be aluminum...

Aluminum cools better than copper/steel but generally costs a lot more and copper/steel is stronger. Originally I had an aluminum radiator from China but returned it because of manufacturing defects.

I believe it is a thicker metal than aluminum. It appears sturdy, but mine was damaged and I could not put the parts together. Shop for this item among different vendors. I found it cheaper as I began to look for another source.

I've had this welder for over a year now and would recommend it to beginners with two things to note. Your first upgrade should be switching from flux core to solid wire with gas. Flux core has it's purpose and is good in a pinch but gas is where it's at. Trying to learn how to weld on flux can be frustrating to the point of quitting, and what fun is that? Second, you'll eventually want to weld aluminum and that requires an expensive spool gun. I did see a video on youtube where these guys were able to weld aluminum with a smaller (6ft) gun but the results werent impressive. I'm not saying you can't MIG aluminum, I'm saying the final welds would look terrible and your cost for terrible looking welds is the cost of the spool gun and a new tank of gas! If you're looking to learn how to weld aluminum spend a little more and get yourself a TIG machine.

I would not recommend it. I was very disappointed that it was plastic and only two row. I would purchase a three row aluminum one from eBay for the same price.

I thought it was when I ordered it - but I think it is aluminum. 2liters = 2.1134 quarts so it's a bit more

Well it is better and harder plastic than what I bought at the $ store. I have seen this for a little less. The Restore down the street has one for $3. Do you want me to buy it and send it to you.I do think crystal is over-rated and this is also, but I use it regardless.
