Interested in welding? Ready to try your hand at wire welding? Have we got the welder for you - the Handy MIG from Lincoln Electric!

Just add a cylinder of shielding gas. But that's not all - there's also a spool of selfshielded, flux-cored wire, contact tips, and chipping hammer/brush so you can use your Handy MIG to weld with gasless, flux-cored wire too.  One year warranty on parts and labor. (90 days warranty on gun and cable).

This has got to be one of the best deals for price, workability, everything; it is awsome you can do whatever big heavy stuff, little thin stuff, and body and fender work E-Z, welding up exhaust systems perfect..... i was supprized, i made my own cart for mine and bought a different mask, the only thing you need is your wall socket (buy a tank use the gas way better welds) a few practice runs BOOM your a PRO. They wanted $480 for this welder at a PRO shop $359 shipped is a steal.

Used to weld and have the bug to start another small business in which I'll be using 1/8 mild steel(and slightly larger wall thickness). Was nervous as to if this would have enough power if I wanted to push it a bit.......I can't believe how nice this thing works and I haven't even put sheilding gas on it yet. Better yet, I picked it up at weldingsupplyusa.com for $304.00 delivered!!!! Yes the exact same unit. Good buy?...nope...great buy!!

Great little welder I'm just beginning to dabble in welding so I don't know a whole lot on the matter but so far what I can tell is the welder works great I've had other welders that were not as good I only rate four stars because I have yet to connect gas to it but I'm sure with the gas it will perform even better and be worthy of a five star rating

I did not buy this welder from Amazon; I got mine from WeldingSupplyUSA.com. I'm not a welder but have been around it all my life and have some experience with it. I'm very impressed with this little welder. It worked perfectly right out of the box; welds smoothly and consistently. I've only used it on light guage metal but it works as well as any other welder I've had experience with. I'm using the flux core wire, not interested in using gas, and it fits my needs. I'm a DIY type guy and will use the welder for minor fab/repair work in and around the house. The wire feeds smoothly at a constant speed. Setup was easy and quick. I was up and welding within 10 minutes of receiving the welder. The welder is very well built with a good design. I'd recommend it to anyone needing a lightweight welder for small jobs.

I read all the reviews on this product before I bought it. There weren't any really bad ones and you won't get one here. I am restoring a 1960 MGA and needed something to weld automotive sheet metal. I will be able to do more than that. Glad I decided to go with Lincoln. What a smooth easy to use welder. I thought I would have to get a lease and use co2 or argon for MIG welding the sheet metal but the inner shield works fantastic. This is a super little unit!!!

I bought this unit to do some auto body panel replacement welding. I already have a 220 volt mig that I have used for over 10 years. It has a hard time with light welding tasks like sheetmetal. I figured this unit would be good for small welding tasks and is a good brand name in the welding world. The unit came well packed. I was not happy that the gas regulator did not have a gauge, thus making it hard to know when you were near the end of your bottle. I did end up adding a gauge since this would drive me nuts. The reason I am giving it full stars is based on its performance. It really surprised me to its ability to weld thicker material and still run on just 110 power. I love that I can plug it in anywhere and weld away on just about any size material with ease. And as predicted, it does dial down to be very good with 18 gauge sheetmetal. I wish it had a infinite dial for power output but I am able to find one of the 4 settings that will work for the job at hand. I have plugged into a variety of outlets and have not popped a breaker yet. The main thing is that I had always viewed portable welders as wimpy and for people that were too cheap to buy a full size welder but now realize that this unit has enough power to be my only welder for household and hobby use. I was tempted to buy a no-name unit from some other companies in order to get the infinite power dial for heat but am happy with what I chose. I am sure this unit will last and it is very smooth. The whole reason I was buying a second welder was for that smooth reliable operation at low heat settings, and this unit did that and much more.
