You get both the 10ft., MIG gun and a 10ft., Spool gun with this offer! The Hobart Handler 190 is a powerful and portable wire-feed flux core and MIG welder designed to weld mild steel, flux core, aluminum and stainless steel. The generous operating parameters allow you to weld 24 ga. to 5/16 in. steel in a single pass. Plus it is extremely versatile and perfect for the welder who wants to work on auto body, household repairs, or even heavier farm projects requiring extra power. With an arsenal of standard features such as 7 output voltage settings and a dual-groove quick change drive roll, the Handler 190 is as versatile as it is powerful. This exceptional package also includes the Spoolrunner 100 (item #20868) to make welding aluminum easier than ever before. Features Hobart’s 5/3/1 industrial warranty protection. (30 Amp circuit is recommended).
This impressive welding package comes complete with everything you need: built-in MIG gas solenoid valve, dual-gauge regulator, gas hose, 10ft. work lead, 8in. wire spool adapter and more. The package also includes a SpoolRunner 100 spoolgun (Item# 20868) that makes aluminum welding easier than ever!
Setup is a breeze with this unit, and once you're ready to go, the Handler 190 is capable of running flux core steel, solid and aluminum wire — a versatility that's hard to beat.
The welder is powered by 230V AC input service, giving you all the juice you'll need to weld 24ga. to 5/16in. steel in a single pass.
Choose from 7 different voltage settings, and then take advantage of enhanced magnetics and infinite wire-feed speed control. You'll end up with fine output control that allows for improved arc performance with less spatter, and that means great looking beads with less cleanup.
The dual-groove, quick-change drive roll makes it super quick and easy to change from one wire size to another. The unit has one knurled groove as well as one smooth groove, allowing it to hold 2 different wire sizes at the same time. Choose from 0.030–0.035in. (0.8–0.9mm) wire sizes.
The convenient polarity changeover system with tip holder access makes it quick and easy to change polarity for solid or tubular wire. There are even convenient storage holes built right in to hold your spare tips.
Integrated spoolgun control circuitry is standard with this welder, so no additional control box or adapter is required to connect the SpoolRunner 100 spoolgun (included). This easy-to-setup spoolgun enhances wire feedability and reduces the hassles and frustrations of bird-nesting that often occurs with soft aluminum wires.
A handy storage area is built right into the welder cabinet, making it quick and easy to stow away or access spare contact tips, nozzles and drive rolls.
No more fumbling through manuals and delaying your start while trying to find the correct initial welding settings. A handy door chart offers quick reference to all the wire, gas, material and thickness settings you need. It's the perfect quick-starting point for novices and professionals alike.
With 25–190 Amperage output and a 30% duty cycle @ 130 Amps, you get the power and welding performance you need to make your efforts more productive.
The durable feed head features a quick-release drive roll tension lever that helps to deliver positive wire feed with adjustable tension control. The easily accessible system also makes threading new wire a breeze.
The built-in contactor makes this welder very easy to operate and improves safety by keeping the wire electrically "cold" until the spoolgun trigger is pulled.
Rugged is the perfect word to describe the Handler 190's drive system. Manufactured from tough industrial cast aluminum, you can rest assured that this unit is built for extended durability.
A self-resetting thermal overload system protects the unit in the toughest applications, while short circuit protection guards against current overload. You also get self-resetting motor protection, which protects against wire feed overload, effectively eliminating the need to change fuses or reset circuit breaker buttons.
