I received it yesterday and actually welded with it today. Great product I need about three more. They run as nice and smooth as the 7018 rods I use in my welding class. These weld really nice and the slag comes off pretty easy! Sold the welder about a year ago but now I'm looking at getting another soon.

The truth is that the ESAB 92051130 Arc Welder B000LDHHZM was the ESAB Arc Welders that we rated at the top. That being said, there were a handful of other very high quality ESAB Arc Welders we wanted to showcase here that barely missed the mark.

ESAB is yet another top maker of Arc Welders. They build the tool next on our rundown. ESAB's Arc Welders are great as well. I was ready to have a go at the model 0700000401 and I was not let down!

The model 0700000401 Arc Welder by ESAB, at $155.00 is an especially exceptional Arc Welder for the money. The ESAB 0700000401 is truly a solid alternative. Of you are not sure about our top pick, I'd advise to pick this Arc Welder.

ESAB 0700000401 Features

External shade adjustment between DIN 9 and DIN 13 and optical class 1/2/1/2

Delay and sensitivity can be adjusted from the inside

Wider field of vision and increased spatial awareness

Sensitivity control is an adaptable feature useful when welding low amperages (GTAW) for better reaction to darker arc light

Apart from the option we already included, I would have a look at the ESAB 0387-0031 and the 0387-0071 by ESAB. Both ESAB and ESAB are known for their high quality Arc Welders. Each of these two tools received great end user ratings also. Genuine customers awarded the ESAB an average rating of 4.5/5 stars. You can compare that to the 0387-0071 that holds an average score of 5.0/5 stars.

The ESAB 0387-0031 provides several really premium features such as Fuel gas usage - acetylene, hydrogen. The 0387-0071 by ESAB although, is very competitive offering Gas Service: Acetylene, Hydrogen and even Size: 4.

I would be eager to endorse either of these ESAB Arc Welders

I'm running an ESAB 160 on about 45 amps and these rods run great. I had to weld a 2" pipe to a steel plate and this help keep the pipe in place. I wish I had purchased these years ago! Really like it, it's my first welder but its awesome. When I first opened it I got hit with that new welder smell, so good.

I also used a sturdier cotter pins to hold the rear wheels on. The top handle is by far easier to use and less cumbersome. This is an awesome cart for your home shop or garage. I use a short cord into it, and don't over push it, and it does well. Works as described and when you turn it off the crap falls off too.

I have a small machine shop and build tooling often. This one fired right up out of the box with no worries. The ESAB weighs around 75lbs and doesn't lay down any better of a weld. I had to weld a 2" pipe to a steel plate and this help keep the pipe in place. These are some awesome rods.

This thing can't weigh more than 10 lbs and its super portable. I use a short cord into it, and don't over push it, and it does well. I take it with me for on site jobs. I would highly recommend this cart. I'm running an ESAB 160 on about 45 amps and these rods run great.
