Are there any good 110V welders out there? I don't need to build a horse trailer, I just want to fix something every now and then with out having to get a welder here or take something to a welding shop.

110v welder due a good job but use flux core over mig because of the polarity it will draw the weld in deeper /stonger weld. allso arc stick welder is even better. note higher amprage is better 125 min. mig is just a pretty weld where as you clean flux with wire brush and a chiping hammer in some cases. look for something that will weld 1/4 inch. century use to make a gs155

i use a small 120V wire feed welder made by HOBART. it has the regulator kit for use as a mig welder also. i have found that it works pretty good as long as you are not trying to weld anything to thick for the machine to handle. in general it works well. however, i would suggest that you would want to use the regulator kit with a tank of argon and weld as a mig machine. i dont have the kit installed or a tank of gas so therefore i get a little more splatter than some people could accept.

If you already know how to weld,the 110's are fine.But if you are trying to learn,then get the bigger 220 unit they are more forgiving.The 110's have a use,for light stuff,but a 220 has a much wider range.

I completely agree! I've got a Hobart 110v. It's great for small, non-critical stuff under 1/4". Also portable so you can take it to Grandma's house. Love it, but mostly go with my bigger Millermatic since it is "more forgiving".

To me it's like HORSEPOWER - you'll alway wish for a little more.

i had the same idea. bought a small cheap 110 volt welder and found out very quickly it would not do much. i had to bite the bullet and then buy a big 220 volt miller ac and what a difference that made. i can weld anything on my farm machinery and even build a few projects ( like a trailer) and have power to spare. you will always find things to weld so it is better to get a big strong one right off. it will sure save you money in the long term.
