Buying my first welder...have questions

[Moose63Pa]

I purchased a Hobart MultiHandler 200 about a year ago and have done many projects with it. It is a good beginer rig and is also dual voltage. Its also quite portable due to its size, and I have used it out in the field running off of a generator. Consumables are available at tractor supply and other chain stores. I run an engine drive welder on a service truck, and have a bigger mig in the shop, but find myself grabbing the MultiHandler more often than not. Its size is just handy, and it has no problem making enough heat on 220V
