![]() I recommend the 140 Handler by Hobart for both professionals looking for a MIG welder and newcomers that want the freedom to experiment with flux core and gas welding. The machine ships with everything you need to start the moment you open the box, including a 10 ft wire feed gun, ground clamp, sample wire spool, contact tips, dual gauge regulator, quick select drive roll, and a power cord. With a five-position voltage control, you’ll weld with a stable arc regardless of your power set up in the shop or at home. The arc performance on the Hobart Handler 140 is stable and precise. So the money spent on a machine with an aluminum drive, in my opinion, is well worth it. Once a wire drive is toast, you must buy a new unit. While they work fine, they break easily and wear out fast. Many of the welders you’ll find on my list and in stores reduce their price by installing plastic wire drives. Opening up the side panel for the first time, I was happy to see Hobart installed an industrial-rated cast aluminum drive system. They work very well with zero performance issues aside from learning the machine’s wire feed speed. It can run both flux core and MIG, which means either a gasless flux wire or a C25 shielding gas. I can easily see why Hobart claims it’s their top-selling device. Newcomers to welding may find that dialing in the Hobart can be tricky, and they’ll likely pop the breaker a few times. If possible, I recommend either a dedicated 15-amp breaker or a 20-amp breaker. As a 115v welder, it has a basic three-prong house plug and runs off a 15-amp breaker. I’ve yet to have a problem with this welder. ![]() The Hobart Handler 140 MIG Welder ranks as one of my all-time favorite machines for one simple reason: it does everything it says it can do better than the competition. That means buying a Hobart welder isn’t just ensuring you’ll have a high-quality machine in your shop today, but in the years to come. Few companies can match Hobart’s longevity in the industry or their dedicated product support. Which is why all Hobart welders come with their incredible 5/3/1 warranty on parts and performance. They specialize in crafting durable, safe machines. Since 1917, Hobart Welding Products has maintained a high level of standard across their welding machines and welding supplies.
