The welder has the power to handle a wide variety of welding tasks at home or on the job; the cart, helmet and regulator means it is ready to go out of the box. Hobart designed the tool as a good choice for your first welder, but it also has the capabilities that contractors and accomplished DIY buffs look for when welding is on their agenda.

The 130 amp power provides enough strength to handle any light to medium duty work that comes your way.
