I like hobart and that looks like a nice setup. But for that same price you could have bought an Eastwood Tig and plasma cutter......

I have the same welder.. It is a good machine. When you get it.. the recommended setting on the inside of the hood are just about perfect ... Just run a touch higher CFM if you weld in an enviroment that has any breeze.

I have the Handler 190. I love it. The spoolrunner gun is on my Christmas list.
Did you seriously get the welder, spool gun and shipping for 550? That's freaking awesome. I bought mine at Tractor Supply on sale and it was 650.

No spoolgun... But it came with the gas regulator and since it is the MVP version it comes with both a 110V plug and a 230V plug. All i have to do now is go down to Gallatin and get a bottle and a 230V extension cord and im ready to go! It should be here today! I will post some pics for y'all when i get it
