When it comes to DIY many people simply purchase in the first store they come across. You should always price check with competitors to see currently offering better value for money.

Hobart makes some of the best welding machines for home and industrial use.  The 135 mig welder is one of those welding machines that can do double duty.  It can do all of your welding around the house but can also do light construction use also. If you’re a novice at welding don’t worry, you don’t need experience to use the 135 mig welder. 

Its as easy as using a caulking gun.  If you still don’t know if you can handle welding you can go to your local home improvement store and take a class.  They may have a welding machine you can rent to see if it is a project you want to take on.  In the class the instructor will show you how to position the tip so that you can get the correct weld. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t get it right the first time, it takes practice.

Mechanics will love this portable welding machine for all of the automotive repairs. The 140 unit was an improvement of the 135 mig welder, it still delivers the dynamic performance of the 135 mig. Even though the product number changed, the parts and machine have basically stayed the same.

Buying the welding machine is not the only expense.  You also need to buy safety equipment.  You need special fire retardant gloves for your hands.  You need a welding helmet and you should wear ear protectors because of the noise of the machine.

The 135 mig can cut steel, stainless steel and aluminum.  To do this you need the correct accessories like contact tips. These are different sizes depending on the model you have, so when ordering make sure you choose the right tip.  The CO2 cylinder and regulator kit are really good accessories.

Just keep in mind that they ship the CO2 cylinder empty for safety reasons.  Most sporting goods and home improvement stores can fill them for you.  135 welding machines not only have accessories but they also have really good components on the machine like the hose and guns. They are easy to use and easy to replace if needed.  The front of the 135 is easy to use because the controls are easy to see and all at your finger tips.
