Hobart Handler® 125 MIG Welder #500573 - From Miller Electric

A reliable, portable wire feed MIG welder that’s perfect for a variety of projects. Runs on 120V input power, welds up to 3/16 in. mild steel, and is MIG capable with a built-in gas valve. Built by Hobart, a subsidiary of Miller Electric.

Easy-to-Use, Ready-to-Weld.

The Handler 125 is a reliable constant-voltage DC welder with built-in wire feeder that operates on common 120-volt power. It comes ready to weld, without shielding gas, using .030–.035 inch (0.8–0.9 mm) self-shielding flux-cored wire. It can weld 24-gauge to 3/16-inch steel with flux-cored wire. This welder is equipped with a factory-installed gas solenoid. With the addition of an optional regulator and shielding gas, you’re ready to MIG weld with .023–.030 inch (0.6–0.8 mm) solid wire in the traditional two-knob control mode. Use C-25 gas (75% argon/25% CO2) on 24 gauge–1/8 inch steel for a cleaner weld with less spatter. Use Tri-Mix gas and stainless wire for welding on 18–12 gauge stainless steel.

Manufacturer Reviews

Jason
Impressive - Exceeded my expectations! I've had the pleasure of using this welder for home use for about 8 months now. Being a 120v unit I wasn't expecting to be impressed but this thing really does a nice job. I've done quite a bit of welding and fabricating on an old truck frame-off restoration. It handles heavier gauge steel on the frame impressively well with great penetration, and is very controllable on thin stuff like welding a steel line in to the fuel tank. If this is to be your first welder you won't be disappointed. It's very easy to set up, adjust and control. I would highly suggest setting yourself up with a regulator and gas tank also, and a welder at this price point leaves some money left in the budget to do so. Flux core wire has its purpose (mainly for portability in my opinion) but having the MIG option is a huge bonus. The welds are so much cleaner and less porous. MIG is a must for me now. BEWARE: once you get a welder and your buddies find out, you'll more than likely be doing a LOT of "quick projects" for them! But with a little practice this welder makes you look like a pro in no time! I'm unexpectedly impressed. Good job, Hobart!

Best Machine For The Price. The Handler 125 is perfect for doing bodywork and small projects like window guards and fence work. It cost half the price of the Handler 140 and it can do just as much. It doesn't include a regulator but it is MIG ready. Also the wire feeder is the plastic type not the heavy duty one like in the 140 and above. The torch and hose is kinda cheesy too, but it is well worth the price I paid considering the warrant Hobart offers. All in all, it's a great little machine.
Bob the Bladesmith
The Handler 125 Mig Welder does everything I need. I'm a part time Blacksmith/bladesmith who requires a quality welder for the various steps in my craft. The Hobart welder met an exceeded my expectations for a machine with easy setup and use. Creates a solid bead that holds up in the forge, welding the guard or adding stock. Also great price. Thanks Hobart!
