Powerful and portable, the Handler® 187 operates off 230 Volt power. 7 voltage settings and infinite wire feed control enable fine tuning for the smoothest arc with less spatter. Comes ready to weld with or without shielding gas, no additional kit required. With an amperage output range of 25 - 185, it easily handles a broad selection of solid mild steel or stainless, flux cored and aluminum wires. U.S.A.

Kit Includes

  • Comfortable 10 ft. (3 m) H-14 MIG welding gun
  • Built-in gas valve
  • Dual gauge regulator and gas hose
  • Power cord with plug
  • 10 ft. (3 m) work cable with clamp
  • Sample spool of .030 in. (0.8 mm) self-shielded flux cored welding wire
  • 8 in. (203 mm) wire spool adapter
  • Extra .030 in. (0.8 mm) contact tips

The Handler® 187 features a 7-position voltage switch, three more positions than the original Handler® 180. These added settings create a welding arc that more perfectly matches metal thickness and wire diameter than any competitor in its class. The improved arc means less spatter, professional bead appearance, excellent penetration, and minimal post-weld cleanup.

Convenience features include internal storage area for spare tips and a "no tools" quick-change drive roll system with dual grooves to make changing wire diameter easy. A self-resetting thermal overload system protects the Handler® 187 in the toughest applications.

Features

  • 7 voltage selections, enhanced magnetics and infinite wire feed speed control offers easier fine control of the output parameters for improved arc performance with less spatter for a better bead appearance and less cleanup
  • Welds 24 gauge up to 5/16 inch steel
  • Proven built-in wire feeder with quick-release drive roll lever
  • Built-in contactor eases use and is an excellent safety feature which makes wire electrically "cold" when not welding

  • Dual groove drive rolls make it easy to switch between .023/.025 in. (0.6 mm) and .030 - .035 in. (0.8 - 0.9 mm) wire
  • Self-resetting thermal overload and motor protection
