« Great welder, great price, American Made »

I did a little research before purchasing this welder. Turns out it is made in America by Hobart- Miller( even though neither name appears on the welder). There is little difference between the Hobart and Miller products and this one, it is apparently made on the same production line. The machine performs just as a 110 volt welder should. The included helmet is functional but you definitely need an upgrade. The cart is not optimum but with the new welder I modified it to work just fine. I received an adjustable Hobart regulator rather than the fixed one, but either will work well. This welder has an eight foot cable rather than the usual ten foot, but rather than pay the additional cost I am happy to move the welder closer. I am very happy with this machine and as long as you do not need a 220v machine this is a great one at a reasonable price.

ATTENTION, the welder shown in the picture is NOT what comes in the 500550 package, the picture shows a handler 140, which is a good bit better welder than the 130 that comes in the kit. That being said it's still not a bad deal for a beginner/hobbiest. UPDATE: They have now posted the correct picture for this kit.
