I have a Hobart stick welder that I have used since 1970 and it has never
failed. I was reared in a Iron and steel shop and we had Hobarts and they were
great. I also use a Lincoln mig now and it is good for the sheet metal work.
As far as I know both are made in the USA. A car buddy has a Chinese mig and
it worked well after he got the wire to feeding properly. I would not have it,
it looks crappy. Be sure to get the right type for your intended use. If you
use gas shield, be sure to buy your bottle and keep the receipt. I have had
them try to lay claim to my bottles saying they were rentals.

Hi All,
I have recently been looking at welders.

Both are built by Hobart and ALL of Hobart's welders are MADE IN THE B
USA! B B They are sold by Tractor Supply (and other welding shops) B
locally, so I can get parts and service locally.
Anyone have experience(s) with Hobart welders?
Thanks for your impending in-put.
