Hobart Handler 140 Review & Welding

Your undercutting really bad

Never downhill a weld.

What kind of gas are you using ? What’s the mix %

I'm about to buy one and that's why I'm watching this video. Great job with the review and it helped me make my decision, thanks.

Young man those are beautiful beads !

What was the “mistake “ that you was doing?

Better beads? are you kidding, Those are some of the best beads I've seen from any experienced certified welder! Great Video.

Just bought one, thanks for the video! 🤙🏽🤙🏽👊🏽👊🏽

Great video thanks for sharing it.

Nice but can you show your mistake setting up the welder bc I just got one of these and want to make sure I’m not making the same mistake. Also can you show welding without gas? Bc I’m not using gas and just using flux core. Thx :) great video

Nevermind just saw your mistake (polarity) thx

Just got one of these, gonna test it out today with no welding experience what so ever. Thanks for the great video

Open your gas bottle valve ALL THE WAY to seal the valve stem from leaks!!!
Gas bottles have 2 stage valve seals ...CLOSED ... FULL OPEN

This is embarrassing to admit. I've had my 140 for several years now and just realized why I was getting SOOO much spatter when I welded. Polarity was set just like said for flux core and not solid wire. I'm gonna see how much of a difference i get now.

Will you use it to weld coil overs bracket , control arms etc..?

hi how long does a full tank co2 argon tank last you ?

what setting did use use for the welds?

Nice welds dude…

Great video! Very informative thanks

Thank you

You sold me on one, thank you

Nice.

I'm an old man welder. You have the touch 👍
True... All fluxes welding needs to be reverse polarity to put the heat into the weld and not the electrode

Found a used one for 300 I may buy

bought one for Christmas. works great. well worth. it

Great Video! Just what I wanted to know - how much metal can it handle and some brief tips. Thanks for sharing.

That was a great video my friend! Keep up the great work.

Nice video. Thanks for your in depth info. Have a great day

Super review !

Great Video!

Thank you; really nicely done

Remember Jeep Owners.
You can’t weld Rust! 😢

Awesome demo!

Awesome demo!

I'm new to this and am thinking about the 140. Like I stated, I'm new to this, but them look like some pretty good welds there. Thanks for the demo and info!

Is this machine powerful enough to weld a crack in a support bar under a truck bed?

Awesome! have you done these welding tests with a 15 or 20 AMP breaker?

Great welds bro

Great video. I had either this model or a slight variation of it about a dozen years ago. It was my first welder I purchased, I had borrowed and learned on a buddies model that was a step down, and decided it was something I could do, sold a client that I could build the wrought iron fence she wanted and bought my own. Eventually sold off a lot of my gear years later because I wasn't using it, but I've got to build some wrought iron pieces on my own new home.....and was thinking what model to get, and your video helped make my decision.
Great video and I'll be getting my own.... dang I wished I didn't make it a package deal and sold all my welding gear to one of my buddies when I moved. LOL, now I"ll have to break in a new machine and gloves and everything.
Keep at it!!!!!

Nice welder. I am an apprentice. I clicked on the video because I saw the HOBART welder. I am looking for an easy to use welder, good price and a name I can trust. Good review, thanks a bunch.👍👍

Slow down your wire speed and go slower. That’ll heat the metal up equaling better penetration

Newer welder here. Why is my wire just blowing off. I can get a weld started but it gets so damn bright so quick my chance to react is a little slow but by the time I do my wire just blows right off and I gotta get it fed back out. Also my wire doesn’t wanna feed everytime I hit the trigger. What’s that about? Any tips would be appreciated! Thanks!

What kind of wire do you use for doing stuff like this?

Thank you for your video, I found it informative! Do you have other welding videos?

Just got one for exhaust work.

It's a great hobby welder I build derby cages and roll cages for cheap car baja racing never had a cage fail in 3 years and I use this welder exclusively to build them

thank you so much for this video. it’s hard to find creators who also own up to their mistakes AND explain why. keep on keeping on!

Does this welder weld aluminum?

I know you did this 9 years ago and I hope this isn't too late to express my appreciation for the Hobart welder set up. Thanks, great welds, and this helped a lot!

$500 ten years ago and they are now $650. Crazy.
