Polyvance 5700HT Mini Weld 7 Airless Plastic Welder - Red

Chris: I don't usually leave reviews at all. I read the reviews on this and decided I would give it a try. Just like another person that reviewed it, I used it on my 2003 gmc dually bedside. It worked perfect. It did everything it said it would do. I had larger gaps than others have filled and it worked flawless. It takes a few minutes to get used to the flow and holding it. After that it works seamless. Thank you so much this just saved me $1800.00.

Chad Lehner: I bought this to repair the bedsides on my chevy 3500 dually. I could not believe how easy the repair was and how strong the bond is. I had only finished one side and the repaired piece was already strong enough to lift the entire bedside with and shake it back and forth. I did both sides and can kick it, knee it, etc, and it behaves just like the weld wasn't there. I have used this to fix multiple other plastic pieces around the shop and house and couldn't be happier. Additionally, I called Polyvance directly to find out why this kit was so much cheaper than the one they sell directly on their website. His response was that it is exactly the same kit and it was to encourage people to buy from Amazon since it is so much easier for them to distribute that way instead of selling direct. Overall, I am very happy with this!!

David Hale: The tool itself works just great. The temperature adjustment is nice, as is the supply of various plastic rods. My one disappointment is that it's made in China. I was going to buy a Chinese plastic welder before I discovered this unit. I really do prefer to buy products made in the USA, even at a premium. So I was willing to pay extra for this, and did.

When it arrived however, the tool had a sticker on it which said "Made in China".

Also, the storage box is a bit cumbersome to use; the parts don't stay in their assigned places so even though you try to put it away neatly, once you open it back up the parts are just floating around. And the cord management in the box has room for improvement.

Again, the welder works great, and I've used it extensively on several different projects; But it's still made in China. If you're going to buy China-built it's not clear the adjustable temperature is a huge improvement over the fixed-temperature $16 Harbor Freight equivalent, at one tenth the cost.

David: Let's get something straight: If you're looking to fix car bumpers or large plastic objects (such as water drums), this may be a 4 or 5 star item to you. If you want to have something professional looking in your automotive shop, this is a must. Its mostly for show, but it'll make your customers think since YOU have a Professional plastic welding kit, that they can't accomplish the same thing at home without dumping a bunch of money into it.

If you're looking to get something to fix your random, at home, cheap plastic walmart junk that broke (things like 5 gallon buckets, or those springy latches on remote control battery doors that always seem to snap). Or you want to smooth your 3D prints from a 3D printer. Or you just want to experiment and learn how to weld plastic; then there are WAY better options. I suggest getting a good wood burning iron kit such as:

Walnut Hollow Creative Versa Tool with Versa-Temp Temperature Control

This link above is to a unit that's less than $25 (about 12% the cost of this item); it also has different tips; and a variable temperature control. The thing I don't like about this is that the temperature doesn't vary very much. I...
