Hobart has many models of welders that can be used for many different jobs from home repairs to construction.  The 140 mig welder is inexpensive enough, at a price of around $700.00, but strong enough to be used for most of your needs.  The mig welder can handle steel, stainless steel and aluminum.  It welds 24 gauge wire up to ¼ inch.  This machine runs off all 5 volt standard household current.

The 140 comes with a list of extras that will make your life a lot easier like a 10 foot (3m) H-10 MIG welding gun, built in gas valve, gas hose and regulator, power cord, 10 foot work cable with clamp, 8 inch wire spool adapter, extra .030 inch (.8mm) contact tips and a sample of (.8mm) .030 inch self shielded flux cored welding wire.  The other feature that makes this welder worth buying you don’t need to know how to weld to use this machine because Hobart has made it very user friendly.

Some of the benefits of owning a Hobart welder are the 140 has a stable arc with an improved performance on thin gauge material.  This machine also has positive feed with adjustable tension which makes it easier to feed the wire.  The model has a built-in contractor which is replaceable and makes it easy to use and a great safety feature is it makes the wire electrically “cold” when you’re not welding.

The number one tip I can give you is to look at all of the reviews and make your decision then on what model and tools you want to purchase.  If you’re shopping on the internet make sure you go through a reputable dealer to purchase the product and accessories you want.  Some deals really are too good to be true.  If you are getting a good deal you should see if the rating of the company with the better business bureau. This is extremely important if you have never heard of them before.
