Hobart Stickmate Welder,
November 18, 2008
By BoatingTomfrom Texas
"This is a great welder. It is easy to use. I used it for structural welding on a boat dock. The only drawback is you must be close to a power recepticle, as the power cord is not to long, and the welding cables are not that long. I made an extension/adapter cord to power from a generator. This welder does the job."

Great Value,
August 25, 2008
By Biggiefrom Oklahoma
"This is a great buy in stick welders. After researching feedback from users of various brands of welders, the Hobart turned out to be the best product for the money. The adjustment is infinite, dialing the correct setting for a particular thickness of metal is very easy to do. After all of the research, Northern had the lowest price for this model. Northern also has great service, so the choice was easy."

Hobart stickmate,
August 11, 2008
By DW7195from Dolye,CA.
"For the size and money and what I purchased it for I have just one comment.......AWESOME piece of equipment. Great for pro's and begginers alike. I'm not an everyday welder and it's been some time since I did any serious welding. Just repair and some fabrication with heavy iron and some sheet metal 1/8 on up to a 1/2 inch. Have used this in combination with a 5600 generator with out a hitch/problem."

April 24, 2008
By mrgoodwrenchfrom Columbia, S.C.
"good welder for the price, getts the job done. control knob is flemsy and hard to turn but cables are long enough to reach work. could use more angles on handle for better placement of sticks. soo farr no problems with duty cycle. could use some better ark starting technolegy and ground clamp."

Hobart AC Stickmate is great,
April 24, 2008
By rjaszczfrom San Antonio, TX
"This is a great value, very high quality for the money. Easy to use. The ability to "dial in" your amperage is awesome, you don't have to use the preset steps like the other brand welders. This is a great adjustable feature to have. My only complaint would be the short power cord and leads. Of course Northern sells supplies to increase the length of both. I would still highly recommend it."

Great welder,
April 14, 2008
By TeXJ96from Garland, TX
"This is one of the easiest stick welders to use. Starts an arc very easily and is very smooth and stable. The 100% duty cylcle at 90 amps or less makes this great for home projects or maintanence work. I used it to build a custom trailer for my ATV."
