  • Exactly what I needed…
I discovered the ESAB HandyArc 1/8 stick welder as part of my research on Tig welders. While it wasn’t what I was looking for, I was intrigued that ESAB had a low priced stick welder that was significantly smaller than any that I have seen before. It also operated using a different paradigm for weld settings based on the electrode diameter that seemed very user friendly, plus it could be used at 120 or 240 power. I was very impressed by the size of the power cord for this welder as it is thicker than my expensive mig and plasma-cutter power cords. I was disappointed in the short lengths of the ground and electrode cords; however, once I started welding the length wasn’t a problem just a slight irritation to work around. What I liked most about thus welder is how well built it is and how I can carry it where I need to work. While I can appreciate how extremely easy it is to set and use, I did miss having the ability to see what amps I was using to further tweak the settings. Other than that, I really enjoyed using this welder as it is a far better and more powerful machine than the size and price would indicate. The overall quality is what I expect from an ESAB welder and I am glad I bought it. It should appeal to folks just getting started with welding as it is cost effective and a very easy welder to use. ... show more
