In the world of DIY and electronics, a reliable spot welder is essential. Whether you’re fixing batteries, finishing a hobby project, or expanding your toolkit, the Docreate DIY Handheld 6 Gears Spot Welding Machine packs everything you need into a compact, smart, and affordable device. It’s available on AliExpress for just €23.39 VAT included. No hidden fees, no customs surprises — straight to your doorstep.
Compact, powerful, and surprisingly versatile
What sets the Docreate Spot Welder apart is its 6 adjustable power levels and a 5300mAh battery. That’s more than enough to confidently weld 0.1–0.15 mm nickel strips — exactly what you need for assembling or repairing 18650 battery packs. It fits in one hand yet rivals larger units in performance.
Two copper welding pens provide stable heat transfer, while 10AWG silicone leads add flexibility at the bench. Thanks to auto-trigger, welding starts the moment the tip touches the nickel strip — fast and lag-free.
Easy to use and ready to work
Many people assume welding is hard; this tool proves otherwise. Press once to power on, choose your level, and you’re ready to go. If you build your own battery packs or revive old ones, this is a must-have.
The big advantage: the AliExpress price already includes VAT and doesn’t add customs or admin fees. In the past, buying from China often meant a separate customs bill; now AliExpress pre-calculates everything. You know the total upfront.

Why buy on AliExpress?
Some sites list this welder for €50–€70 — usually dropshippers reselling with a hefty markup. On AliExpress you buy at the source, with free shipping from €10 and strong buyer protection. If anything goes wrong, open a dispute and get your money back.
Returns on AliExpress are usually free — something you rarely get from dropshippers. Buy smart and never pay more than the real price:
