Ive had a Hobart Handler 135 15 years with no issues. It’s only vise is being heavy if you need to lug it around. I use it up to 1/8” then normally grab the Tombstone.

Hello from sw PA

looking to get back into welding as our car resto projects get started. Have not touched a welder in 15+ years. Had an Astro mig welder back in the day, welds were passable. Will be asking equipment questions, hope I don't drive anyone nuts!

Hello from sw pa

new member, way out of touch and practice with the skill, have not touched a welder in over 15 years. Was fair with a mig, had an ASTRO which has long since passed on.
