A 22-second gag: ‘the batteries I planted are ripe, picking a few for a power bank’; the AWithZ welder in auto mode spot-welds nickel strip, ‘one click like that and it’s done, you do have to invest’, very solid welds; first, work out what else it can weld
A gag opening — ‘the batteries we planted are basically all ripe, let’s pick a few nice ones first’; lay the nickel strip on, the welder screen shows auto mode, 1 pulse, ‘one click like that and it’s done’; muses that you do have to invest; very solid welds; the power bank can wait, first work out what else this thing can weld. Comments: someone uses one of these with nickel strip as an arc welder for models.
