  • Watch as Tim welds with and reviews the Hobart Handler 140. This is a 115 volt machine that can plug into any standard outlet and can use gas or flux core welding wire. It is an entry level welder so lets see how it performs.

    Nice welder. I am an apprentice. I clicked on the video because I saw the HOBART welder. I am looking for an easy to use welder, good price and a name I can trust. Good review, thanks a bunch.👍👍

    Better beads? are you kidding, Those are some of the best beads I've seen from any experienced certified welder! Great Video.

      @1nvisible1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      *Yah, I gotta' tell you if your beads suck I don't watch the rest of the video because I don't care what you think of a machine, but therse... these welds are clean.*

    I build airframes for a living, I weld mostly 16ga/18ga mild tube. I have a 5yr old MillerMatic 140 (115V), which I use everyday. I started buying .023 solid wire early on, the low volt welder is a lot happier pushing the skinny wire. Now I never switch out the wire, even for heavier gauge jobs..I just dial up the knobs and go to work. I totally recommend .023 for low volt welders, be sure to reverse your wire drive wheel and pick up some small tips.

    After watching your excellent review, I just pushed the Amazon button and bought one of these. Your review was very well done and I must applaud you for admitting your mistake for the whole world to see (admirable indeed). Very nice looking welds.
    Good job my man.

Rarely will i need to do 1/4" but happy it will do it in a few passes if needed

  • @Jonacarpenter
    @Jonacarpenter 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Great video. I had either this model or a slight variation of it about a dozen years ago. It was my first welder I purchased, I had borrowed and learned on a buddies model that was a step down, and decided it was something I could do, sold a client that I could build the wrought iron fence she wanted and bought my own. Eventually sold off a lot of my gear years later because I wasn't using it, but I've got to build some wrought iron pieces on my own new home.....and was thinking what model to get, and your video helped make my decision.
    Great video and I'll be getting my own.... dang I wished I didn't make it a package deal and sold all my welding gear to one of my buddies when I moved. LOL, now I"ll have to break in a new machine and gloves and everything.
    Keep at it!!!!!

    For those that don't know, Hobart is a sister company of Miller. For a while, many of the Hobart units were shipped out with mig guns stamped "Miller". The Hobart 140 is a very nice machine for a 110V unit.

    • @christophergonzalez5653
      @christophergonzalez5653 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I almost bought a Hobart. They are good welders. I eventually bought an everlast and have been happy with it. I needed something that could run dual voltage for more power.

  • @DrPeterVenkman
    @DrPeterVenkman 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love this lil welder myself.. for a 115v machine its a beast, I have seen it weld some very heavy steel, I could not believe my eyes. For flux core a flux core tip is recommended, no build up & you can see so much more. was thinking you had your polarity wrong from the beginning when you said you had problems. Only issue I run into is wire tension settings, I find, mine feeds very well on low tension settings, higher settings result in feed issues. This is a very well made, well working welder, will serve me well for years to come.

  • @craighall7186
    @craighall7186 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I bought this machine a few years ago to use for a metal art business. I ended up using .030 solid core wire with 90/10 Arg/CO2. Gas. Many welders use 75/25 gas. But 90/10 gas runs a little hotter. So for a smaller machine like this one. It works better for heavier uses.

  • @unidentifiedbomb
    @unidentifiedbomb 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Do you use a automatic tint mask? My father has this welder and the basic mask doesn't allow me to see anything, also the fluxcore wire with no gas never creates a good weld, it's always popped and bad. Hoping with gas and new wire will make a huge difference.

I can get a weld started but it gets so damn bright so quick my chance to react is a little slow but by the time I do my wire just blows right off and I gotta get it fed back out. Also my wire doesn’t wanna feed everytime I hit the trigger. What’s that about? Any tips would be appreciated! Thanks!

    @jordanplatt4860 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    if you clean and preheat 3/16-1/4" material youre golden. my handler 140 has no problem and puts em in there with a single pass if done right! we have a little millermatic 140 at work and this thing blows it away as far as arc force and quality goes. Essentially the only difference between the two machines is that miller has the autoset feature, which is crap and hardly ever works as advertised.
