Welding in the Wild
On-site welding comes in plenty handy, but calling in a specialist
does not. The Handler 175 runs on 230 volts and comes complete
and ready to weld 22-gauge, 1/4-inch-thick steel, stainless steel, or aluminum,
with or without
gas. My first, brief
experience with the
unit, using both fluxcored
wire and gasshielded
solid wire,
was easy, uncomplicated,
and fun. The
Handler 175 weighs 65
pounds, comes with a
10-foot gun, 10-foot
cable and clamp, gas
hose and regulator,
solenoid valve, wire
spool adapter, and more — no additional kits needed. Start sticking
your own steel together on a routine basis for $643.
