hobart handler 125 September 19, 2009
Duane Neas
I bought this machine about 2mos ago, I previously had a harbor freight 150 which was 220volt. I did not like that machine the wire would never feed right and it looked cheap and was built cheap. I had never welded before that machine, and I still dont really know how. when i got the HOBART it was ready to go in about 2 min. and I was out building a stand with wheels and just about eveything else i could put on it. A lot of my welds still look pretty bad but I learned a little on each one, this welder is like driving a cadilac lots of power and only needs 110 to run it. I am glad i spent the extra money and got this one. It looks good, the wire feeds great, and the temp. is very easy to adjust, when you open the hood there is a diagram of material thickness and it tells you what adjustment to make. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYBODY. I used next day shipping from AMAZON and it arrived on time and I think I recieved a good price on it compared to all the other sites I checked.
 Hobart Handler 125 Welder March 30, 2009
Lincoln O'Brien (Wisconsin)
I have gotten good use out of this product and am very happy with its perfomance. I was a little dissapointed when it arrived and the maintenance door hinge was broken, but I made it work. I can just picture the UPS guys dropping it off of the shelf in his brown truck.
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.
