    Mike, the nice thing about Hobart welders is they are made by Miller, and getting consumables is easy. Plus they are great welders. I've had an Autoarc185 for 12yrs and it's never failed me. Autoarc was another division of the Miller brand.

    Like Uncle Bob says, let the hijack continue.... When I bought my Hobart I spent quite a bit of time over on their welders forum, which has a LOT of information from guys who truly know welding. They pointed out that Miller and Hobart are two of several product lines from the Illinois Tool Works, and specifically from ITW Welding. They market Miller to their industrial/commercial customer base, and focus on the home/hobby/farm market for Hobart. They share lots of common pieces/parts. Link that shows their "players" - ITW Welding

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
