Excellent welder,

"I purchased this welder from Northern Tool about 2003. I have used it extensively on fence and ranch jobs since with outstanding results. From thin wall .087 thickness up to 1 inch plate it has worked perfect. I have ran a compressor and plasma cutter off of it as well with great results. Hobart has really put out a great product here just to stand up to use in the high desert temperatures of the southwest where i live. I would recomend this to anybody."

"I had used a Hobart welder in my work and now that i am retired i needed a good machine for tinkering around home with my projects. This machine does every thing that i need. I am in an area that has power outages at times and the 10,000 watt generator will be a real life saver. I do wish they would manufacture it with cable reels attached to the unit."

HOBART WELDER/GENERATOR,

"Highly recomend this item for pro's or home owners, I have 20 hours on it already, of course no problems so far. Built a trailer for mobility and installed all of our related gear on it, so we're mobile. No comparison to the old 'cracker box' welder. Best thing about it...10,000 watts of portable power, a 10K generator would cost about as much. A really 'sweet' welding machine. Love the easy oil change set up that it has, attatch the supplied hose and open the valve, that's it, don't even need a wrench."
