User Comments about the Hobart 500487 Handler 125 115-Volt 30-to-125 Amp Arc Single-Phase Wire Welding Package

when i got the HOBART it was ready to go in about 2 min. is very easy to adjust, when you open the hood there is a diagram of material thickness and it tells you what adjustment to make. I bought this machine about 2mos ago, I previously had a harbor freight 150 which was 220volt. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYBODY. I had never welded before that machine, and I still dont really know how. It looks good, the wire feeds great, and the temp. A lot of my welds still look pretty bad but I learned a little on each one, this welder is like driving a cadilac lots of power and only needs 110 to run it.

I did not like that machine the wire would never feed right and it looked cheap and was built cheap. and I was out building a stand with wheels and just about eveything else i could put on it. I used next day shipping from AMAZON and it arrived on time and I think I recieved a good price on it compared to all the other sites I checked. I am glad i spent the extra money and got this one.

I have gotten good use out of this product and am very happy with its perfomance. I can just picture the UPS guys dropping it off of the shelf in his brown truck. I was a little dissapointed when it arrived and the maintenance door hinge was broken, but I made it work.

I use it for hobby work on 1/16" to 1/4" material. This welder is very good quality and well made. The controls provide a wide range of welding options. With proper care it will weld 1/4" with good results. Operation is simple and wire loading is easy.

WIth a little practice, I've been fairly successful in welding on replacement panels on my project truck. The Hobart/Miller company is really great about their service and support. Buying a Hobart guarantees that the machine can be serviced locally. I've had my hobart 125 for about a year.never welded before purchasing it. I spent the additional money to buy the gas regulator and solenoid kit.as well as a gas bottle. I spent quite a bit of time on their online Forums and the employees and Miller / Hobart have always been very helpful. The gas makes a real difference.To anyone looking to buy a small machine, I'd stay away from the El' Cheapo welders you see at Walmart and such.
