Check Out This Mind-Blowing Everlast Powerpro 205SI

There are so many awesome tools in my shop. Just a random walk will reveal a plasma cutter sitting next to my workbench, several MIG welders, my beloved ESAB multi-process and of course my tombstone welder.

Hobart 210 VS 190: Which One Is The Right For You?

So I’m at the end of my day and I’m sitting here at my local neighborhood coffee shop (I know, I know, but I sometimes need a break from all the delicious cream ales and IPAs) and I started to think about welders. I’ve done reviews in the past on the 210 MVP and the…

The Controversial Truth About Goplus MIG 130

Recently I hired a new fabricator to work in my shop. He is a great kid, picks up information fast, works hard and is really doing a good job. Like any good business owner, I like to invest my time where I see results… So I decided to teach Bobby* (not his real name) some…

Forney 299 Welder Product Review

This weekend was an interesting one for me. I didn’t get challenged to build anything particularly awesome or anything like that. But I did get challenged to pick a good welder on a budget.

Lotos MIG 140 Product Review

When I weld usually stick to some heavy duty pro machines. I favor the pro machines because I’m usually doing heavier MIG work. I’m talking ¾ inch… ½ inch…even up to 1-inch plates. So… Naturally, I need a machine that can perform. Day in and day out – no breaks. I use a Miller, a Hobart…
Hobart Handler 140 VS Hobart 190

Comparing The Hobart handler 140 vs Hobart handler 190

In this comparison, we are going to talk about two great welders. In fact, it’s going to be just like talking about two brothers. An older brother and a younger brother.
