Lincoln welder question

Lincoln Electric SP135T, does anyone have one? I was wondering what kind of performance you got out of it. What is your satisfaction with it?

 

Is it the small 110v unit? If so, I have one just like it. Rocks, best investment in a tool I have made yet. I got the mig kit for mine and it welds like a dream.

 

Different models over here but i like my 185 Lincoln mig so much i've just treated myself to a Lincoln Invertec stick welder with all the kit for TIG, not used it yet but i can't wait!

 

Same here, I am happy with it. bought my 110V lincoln used and it is a great machine! I use fluxcore for the heavy stuff and get real good penetration. Also have the gas setup for MIG and welded mild and stainless steel without problems. I would buy the same machine again.

 

I've got one of the smaller 100's and been very happy with it. Had it about 10 years now. I'm buying a larger mig welder this weekend just so I can do heavier steal but plan on keeping thw Weldpak 100 just for the portability of it. It's been my best tool that I've ever bought.

 

I have owned my 220v Lincoln for a few years...Love it!

Some of my friends own more expensive brands......they like my Lincoln better..

 

Not to hijack the post but I wondered if anyone has any opinions on the Hobart Handler 125. I bought one today from tractor supply and have not opened it up yet. $326 seemed like a pretty good price too.

 

Hi El Caballo! I recently bought an SP135 PLUS (don't know if Canadian Lincolns are different from American models??) and I LOVE it! Smooth as gl*** and I can't believe my welds, like "Holy **** - did I do that!?!?!?". Mine had an excellent setup and welding instruction manual with it. And this is from someone who only previously did stick on a Miller and hadn't struck an arc in over four years. Previous to that it was sixteen years! I just ran a few dozen beads for practice following the manual's tips and before I knew it - Yahoo! Hope this helps! Good luck! Regards, Dave.

 

They just dropped off 9 of um. We use the **** out of them for a year, then they take um back, and give us 9 new ones. Haven't had a single problem in 3 years. We also have 4 old ones that we keep. Nothing but mantainace for 5 years.

 

i have a 110 power pac a 135 110 and a 220 power mig .i had to sell a car to get them but it dident even bother me there great

 

Thanks guys, I appreciate it.

 

I have one and use it a lot. One recommendation is forget the regular wire and find some ESAB EasyGrind wire. The stuff makes a huge difference and is true to its name. Took me a few shops to find it and it comes in a large roll which is nice. The store I found it at said "all the old style body shops use it" I found out about it from enjenjo on RRT.

 

****olli, I have a 125, but haven't used it yet. I bought mine used for $150. I can't wait to try it out. later plmczy
