Hobart is what welds all of GNT products... just saying... flux core is good... gas shielding is well,,,, awesome for what that little box is. you would be very surprised.......
I have a Hobart handler 175 that I bought around 2002-3. It is 220v. I love it! It will weld sheet metal and structural components. Only drawback is you need a 220v receptacle and the extension cords are more expensive. I only spent around $500 for mine with a small bottle and cart but I'm sure the price has gone up a bit since then. Kevin
