The HH175 can accept the spool gun as Rock said but if you are looking to purchase a new unit consider stepping up to the 210, by the time you buy the spool gun and adapter module, the price is pretty close to what you would pay for the 210 w/a spoolgun, end up with better duty cycle and capacity

ok. I have a handler 175 and was unaware it even had the capability of welding aluminum at all, not that I would ever do it personally. I have a hard enough time with steel
