Compared to the size of the ground clamp, the welder looks tiny. Maybe the size of a car battery but taller.

Yes. Full sized high quality clamp and a lunchbox sized welder.

Here is a pic of 7018 at 165 amps. 1/4" wall pipe to 1 3/16" plate

We played with one of these like 5 years ago at Fab-Tech. Fronius was right across from us. If I remember correctly the poor new kid working for them ran close to 5# of 3/32 7014 on a charge. Poor kid had to weld non stop for 3 days. I think he quit after that. Fronius also sold a few of these private label to DeWalt. Short lived i believed. Well "You can't take it with you" until you get one of these.

Nice for power plant work. Would be good for farm work as well.

That would be incredible on board my truck for repairs. We run pretty far from home.

I can remember MacGyver using a car battery, jumper cables and a couple of quarters to weld. Things have come a long way.

I have used a Ready Welder 24 volt (2 car batteries) spoolgun MIG or Flux core welding set-up over the last 15 years. Welded aluminum mostly. Not as fancy as the Fronius but when you can't get power out in the field it does the job.

We have shifted to Fronius from Lincoln and ESAB at work. High volume manufacturing. I have personally integrated 12, 500 amp Fronius power supplies into equipment. 8 are burning 0.52" and 4 burning 0.45" wire. Controlling them over Ethernet via a PLC. 500 amp multi-process power supplies, think they weighed 78 lbs. Inverter.
