Hobart Handler 140, or Lincoln WP 135?
 

as the title says, anyone have any advice on which is better? I can get them for almost (+- $15 bucks) the same cost, so Im not really sure which one to get.

Now, before anyone says "get a 220V" I DONT WANT A 220V! I want something I can use NOW, and I want something that will last... When I get a grage, I'll get 220V installed and get a 220V for the garage, but until then, its either the hobart, or the Lincoln..... Anyone have any thoughts?

dumbass, lincoln before hobart all the time unless you like replacing wire feeds and mig triggers and ----.

I have a little lincoln 100 hat I bought years ago, I have probably ran 50 of the small reels of wire through it and it has never given me any problem.

I have a Lincoln SP135 and it does very well up to 1/4"

well my dad bought a hobart and it has a Miller gun and wire feed that came with it. I think that its the 140 also. Its a very nice welder. I have welded with lincolns in school for 6 months and they are good also. The hobarts look nicer. I think thats about the only difference. Get what you like.

IVe never used a hobart, but Ive used 6-8 different lincoln models, and all of them have been fantastic. I also like the fact that the lincoln has infinate voltage adjustment, as opposed to the hobart's 1,2,3,4 settings.

the hobarts also adjust wire speed/amperage on 2 seperate dials. if you up wire you up amps, you can't do one or the other like my HF does, which i rather like it for.

the newer hobarts are just millers, same company now. I'd rock the hobart.
