Hobart CO₂ Kit for MIG Welding, Model# 236295
If you need to take your welder to work, dont settle for a flux core weld. This kit uses the same gas cylinder used in the popular sport of paintball to deliver the clean, no-slag welds you expect in the shop. A single fill provides approx. 40 minutes of arc time using .030" solid wire.

"This little device makes the Hobart Handler series of welders truly portable. It just attaches to the back of the machine and allows for nice gas-shielded welds, both in and out of the shop. The weld quality is barely distinguishable from welds made with C25 gas. It uses the CO2 cansisters common to paintball guns, which are readily available and cheap. It's also easy to buy and store extra canisters. It can probably be adapted to most other wire-feed welders (that have a shielding gas fitting); it uses a comon pipe-thread connector. The only limitation I can think of is that it's not good in windy conditions, a problem common to all gas-shielded welders."
