Think MIG welding is hard to set? Not Any more! The HandyWeld 160 is the most modern, easy-to-use inverter MIG Welder designed to remove the guess work when deciding what parameters should be set to weld differing thicknesses of metal.
  • Electronic QuickSet control for accurate adjustment of the welding parameters
  • Suitable for MIG with Shielding Gas and MIG Gasless Welding.
  • STICK Welding capability to 140 Amps, withbuilt Voltage Reduction Device (VRD) for extra safety.
  • Weld most metals including Mild Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminium and Bronze.
CIGWELD have specially configured this machine to be able to produce great welding results from domestic household 230V/240V 10A power. The HandyWeld 160 machine is ideal for people who want to do light fabrication, car repairs, automotive restorations, maintenance and repairs or DIY around the home, workshop, worksite, or farm, without compromising on quality or safety. QuickSet your Plate thickness and weld away Plate Thickness setting allows you to set up in a flash. There is no guessing the welding parameters. Use the QuickSet feature to set the machine to the correct plate thickness you are welding. Awesome output for a small MIG! The HandyWeld 160 delivers a maximum output of 160Amps DC, which means the machine is capable of welding metals from 0.6mm up to 10mm. In QuickSet mode the machine is limited to 6mm thickness. To reach higher thicknesses up to 10mm the machine can be manually adjusted to maximum Wire Feed Speed and Voltage which delivers exceptional welding results on larger metal joints. VERSATILE You can weld most metals including Mild Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminium and Bronze. As part of our local product development, we rigorously tested the HandyWeld 160 with different metals!
