Why This Welder Is Worth Having in the Shop

This RIDGID unit offers a wide amperage range and dual-voltage capability, meaning you can run it on standard 120V power or step up to 230V for maximum output. That makes it versatile enough for garage fabrication, metal repair, farm work, and machine maintenance.

Being able to weld up to 1/2 inch mild steel gives you plenty of room for both small and heavy-duty projects. Stick welding is extremely forgiving outdoors and in dirty conditions, and the TIG capability (torch not included) is useful for cleaner, more precise work. For the price, you're getting a flexible machine that fits a wide range of welding needs.

DIY welders wanting a dependable dual-voltage machine
Fabricators and metalworkers needing 1/2 inch steel capacity
