"I fabricate for a living, 12 years ago when I purchased the Ironman 250 I did not, but I am very satisfied with the decision I made. Looking for a Mig welder to replace my used/abused Miller I looked at all the makes and models. The Hobart Iron Man 250 was cheaper than most of the other welders. I'm not going to lie that is what first attracted me to the Hobart line. But over the last 12 years it has beat every other welder I have owned or friends of mine have owned. It accepts the big 44 lb. spools of wire and the perishables are inexpensive...over the last 12 years; electrode tips..hundreds; nozzles..five; wire liners..two; ground clamp..one. I also had to replace a 7-position selector switch, do not switch under load (while machine is running), my fault. It has handled every need I have had from stitch welding thin gauge sheet metal to welding oil tight 1/2" thick containers. Since then I have purchased two Hobart Plasma cutters and they both perform like my welder...excellent. What would make it better? If it were designed with a removable ground cable, not hardwired in the panel."

great product for a good price,
November 17, 2008
By Anonymous Reviewerfrom Texas
"I use this machine for repairs and fabrication of my race car and parts, also for work around my shop and ranch. the machine for the money is the best I have found. I wanted a Lincoln or a miller and am glad I chose the Hobart 250. The duty cycle on this model vs. the smaller iron man made the decision for me to spend a few hundred dollars more. I doubt I'll use it to it's capacity but that is the idea isn't it? very good product."

Works Great,
April 21, 2008
By BosTheGreatfrom Guilford, NY
"This works great. My first project with it was to take an old truck snowplow and rig it to work with the bucket of my tractor. I welded a hook on top of the bucket and then to pieces of 3/8 steal together to match the bend at the back of the bucket. Then I welded that to the plow so I can just scoop it up and hook the chain. With .45 wire I had no problems welding the 3/8 steel."

Hobart IronMan 250,
January 14, 2008
By dch30350from Oxford, Kansas
"The IronMan 250 is an excellent welder. Easy to setup right out of the box. It includes very detailed instructions to help with setup, operation and trouble shooting and they include a toll free number for additional assistance. I use my welder with Argon/Co2 shielding gas along with .030 dia. mild steel wire and it performs great at all angles and on any gauge material up to 1/2". You just need to start with settings suggested in the instruction manual and tweek it to suit your individual preference. The only thing that I would change is the length of the leads. They are too short. The ground wire is only 10 ft. long so I use a 25 ft. extention cord to make the welder more portable."

Ironman Welder,
July 11, 2007
By WARRIORfrom Raleigh, NC
"The Ironman 250 welder has the power to weld thicker metal continuously without tripping the thermal breaker as smaller units rated at less power levels.
One doesn't have to wait for the welder to "cool down" when the thermal trips on lesser units, resulting in faster production.
The wire feed mechanism is a better/heavier design resulting in better reliability and a more constant wire feed rate."
