New Handler 187 MIG welder

Hobart Welding Products introduced new Handler 187 MIG welder. This industrial-grade welder offers a seven-tap voltage selection control. These features enable users to make arc adjustments in finer increments and simplify creating the classic 'sizzling bacon' sound that signifies a perfect arc. Combined with the seven taps, better inductance enables the Handler 187 to provide better arc starts, smoother arc performance, create less spatter for less cleanup and create weld beads with a professional appearance. The hallmark of the Handler 187 is a high stable arc when welding steel as thin as 24-gauge steel while maintaining this performance on materials up to 5/16-in. thick.

The Handler 187 weighs 68 lbs. and has a welding output range of 25 to185 amps. The Handler 187 works well in home hobby, farm/ranch, maintenance/repair, auto/truck body and light industrial applications.

The Handler 187 operates on standard 230/240-volt household power and accommodates a 4 or 8 in. spool of wire. A dual-groove drive roll accommodates .023 - .035 wire diameters. The Handler 187 is designed for welding with .023-.035 mild steel or stainless steel, .030-.045 flux cored, or .030-.035 aluminum welding wires.

The Handler 187's wire feed speed tracking function provides a larger window of operation for the wire feed speed control which makes it easier to tune in the arc for the desired sweet spot.
