It can mount both 4 inch and 8-inch wire spools, however, one drawback is this is a cheap gasless welder, so the wire drive is made from all plastic ( full review here). At the other end of the power range, 140 amps will weld 1/4-inch plate steel. The Forney Easy Weld 261 MIG Welder will weld the thinnest sheet metal of any machine in this roundup at 32 gauge thickness, making it excellent for auto body and duct work. It’s worth considering the fact that the flux core process is better than MIG for outdoor welding anyway when it comes to breeze resistance. Although it’s not MIG capable, this machine gets you 140 amps of wire-feed flux core welding right away. The Forney Easy Weld 140 FC-i MIG Welder is a versatile flux core-only box with a wide output range. This machine is an inexpensive, yet highly capable machine that represents great value. This machine uses a lift-type arc start for TIG and has automatic arc control. The Weldpro MIG200GDsv 110v Multi Process Welder can’t use a foot pedal for heat control ( full review here), but it does have a 2T/4T trigger lock for long TIG weld runs. If you want to run TIG, you’re going to need a TIG gas regulator, which costs extra. On 240-volt power, the Weldpro MIG200GDsv 110v Multi Process Welder can get you up to 3/8-inch thick steel. That’s enough to get you from 24 gauge sheet metal up to 1/8-inch steel. When running on 110v MIG, you can weld from 25 to 140 amps output. This a dual-voltage input machine, allowing you to plug into a 110-120 volt or 220-240 volt source. It features a durable all-aluminum wire drive mechanism that mounts both 4 inch and 8 inch wire spools. The lightweight design only weighs 30 pounds. Weldpro includes both a MIG and TIG torch with this machine, as well as a MIG gas regulator.

The Hobart Handler 140 MIG 110v Welder provides 25 to 140 amp power, a range that will weld from 24 gauge sheet metal all the way up to 1/4-inch steel.

Hobart builds industrial machines for professional welders, and it shows in the build quality of this machine.

This machine can mount either 4 inch or 8 inch wire spools. The Hobart Handler 140 MIG 110v Welder features a three-groove drive system, allowing the selection of two different size solid MIG wires or a flux core wire. The Hobart Handler 140 can run on a 4000-watt generator, allowing you to get out of the house or shop and get work done on your property where there’s no 110/115/120 input available. One of the most popular 110v models available. Eastwood integrated a 2T/4T trigger lock, suitable for auto bodywork to run long beads on sheet metal as thin as 24 gauge. The Eastwood MIG 180 Welding Machine is available as a discounted bundle with the spool gun.

This machine is generator friendly and it’s spool gun ready, enabling you to MIG weld aluminum with the optional spool gun. And in my opinion, it beats out the more expensive Hobart 210.

The MIG 180 also features higher output, tack weld mode for low-power operations, and infinitely adjustable controls. The Eastwood MIG 180 Welding Machine offers some improvements over its earlier MIG 175 version, including a better drive system to fix the inconsistent wire feeding that owners experienced with the MIG 175. If you don’t have access to 220-240 power or prefer 140-amp current instead of 120 amps on 110v, you should take a serious look at the Eastwood MIG 140, a 110v-only machine. 110v input lets you weld at home, and if you need more power or want to do some chores at work, the 220 side makes that easy. The Eastwood MIG 180 Welding Machine has dual power, running on either 110 volts or 220v, giving you more flexibility as to where you can work.
