Truly a big, cheap, compact package,
July 16, 2009
By 2Tim
from Colorado
"My family bought this welder for a fathers day present for my Dad. We were a little uneasy because we had never welded with a Hobart before. When my dad tried it out, he was truely amazed. The first project we used it for was making a cart for it. Our neighbor used it to patch up a well and said that it worked better than a Lincoln. The price was cheaper than a Lincoln with a better product. That is just truely amazing!"

Welder,

By Klangr

"This is an excellent welder. It out performs many of the other high dollar highly advertised welders. Other mechanics that I have shown and let use it have been just as impressed as I with the quality of this welder. And can't believe how inexpensive it is."
