One of the leaders in mig welders is the Hobert Company. Most all of their welding machines Mig compatible. Mig, or metal inert gas, welders may be called by a few different names such as GMAW(gas metal arc welding) and MAG(metal active gas). Whatever you call it, the process is a semi-automatic or automatic welding process. In this process a continuous and consumable wire electrode and shielding gas are threaded through a welding gun. Mid welders from hobert are easy to use, they can use DC or CV power. The ones that you can use at home are portable and you can use mig or flux processes. The small home use welders can be used on steel and stainless steel and uses a 20 gauge wire. Some of the mid range welders can weld aluminum and cast iron. These are the best for someone who has a lot of outdoor furniture or fixtures. These are also good for people who have a lot of rentals. Hobart makes welders that are for industrial use. These are heavy and fairly expensive for the average person that just needs one so they can work around the house. When you’re using any power tools there are some things to keep in mind. You should not only use eye protection, but you should also wear gloves, ear plugs and fire retardant clothing. Making sure your welds are correct is another safety issue. If they are done incorrectly you can hurt yourself or someone else. These are just some of the tips you should think about before you start welding any type of metal. All Hobart welding machines have a product warranty. They also have accessories that will make using your welding tool easier and safer. The rods on the machines range in length from 10-15 ft. Prices range from around $400.00-$1900.00. Of all the accessories for all of the Hobart mig welders, I think that the best one you can buy is a protective cover. This will not only keep out the elements but the dust from the work site. My husband does a lot of different odd jobs for our friends and family. He had an old welding gun that wasn’t very safe, so we invested in a new one and decided to buy a new Hobart. This is one of the best power tools we have. Although my husband’s technique is not the greatest, he gets the job done. He will use any excuse to use his welding tool. My husband would give his Hobart welder a rave review. He would also buy a new mig welder from Hobart when his new one breaks down.
