Great little welder September 7, 2008
W. Wagner (North Carolina)
This welder is very good quality and well made. The controls provide a wide range of welding options. Operation is simple and wire loading is easy. I use it for hobby work on 1/16" to 1/4" material. With proper care it will weld 1/4" with good results.

Great little machine. July 8, 2004

I've had my hobart 125 for about a year...never welded before purchasing it. WIth a little practice, I've been fairly successful in welding on replacement panels on my project truck. I spent the additional money to buy the gas regulator and solenoid kit...as well as a gas bottle. The gas makes a real difference.

To anyone looking to buy a small machine, I'd stay away from the El' Cheapo welders you see at Walmart and such. Buying a Hobart guarantees that the machine can be serviced locally. The Hobart/Miller company is really great about their service and support. I spent quite a bit of time on their online Forums and the employees and Miller / Hobart have always been very helpful.
