Hi Guys I'm an older newby here , I have a Hobart Handler 140 . Seems to be a neat litte unit to have at home for my Projects , I am wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to find out how old my welder is . I also noticed that it has 4 Voltage setting and I see that the new models have 5 Voltage...Today, 10:21 AM

And how come every one made in the last couple decades has to have one of those flip flopper lenses?
I'd so much rather put an AD lens in an old school helmet. Or just keep the nice passive glass lens in there.
Am I really the only one who doesn't care for the new helmets?Yesterday, 02:04 PM -

I just picked up a new multi function welder so I needed some mig wire.
I used to always get Hobart but it is up to $43 for a 10 pound spool around here.
