HOBART Ironman 240 Welder ā the beast that makes other welders look like they skipped leg day.

This machine doesn't mess around ā it's built by HOBART, the folks who've been perfecting the art of welding since before your grandpa was welding his first go-kart.
š„ Why This HOBART Ironman 240 Welder is Basically a Superhero:
240 Amps of Pure Domination: With a massive 240-amp output, this bad boy welds up to 3/8" mild steel in a single pass. That's not a typo. Whether you're fabricating custom frames, repairing heavy equipment, or building that dream project you've been sketching on napkins, the HOBART Ironman 240 Welder delivers professional-grade performance that'll make your neighbors jealous.
Single-Phase Power (Translation: Works in Your Shop): Runs on standard 230V single-phase power, which means you don't need to rewire your entire building or sacrifice your firstborn to the electrical gods. Just plug it in (well, have it properly installed) and start welding like a boss.
Complete Wire Feed System: This is the COMPLETE package, folks. Everything you need to start welding is included ā no "assembly required" nightmares or surprise "batteries not included" moments. HOBART thought of everything so you can focus on what matters: making sparks fly and metal stick together.
Built Like a Tank, Performs Like a Dream: At 267.3 pounds, this HOBART Ironman 240 Welder isn't going anywhere unless you want it to. That substantial weight means rock-solid stability, industrial-grade components, and the kind of durability that'll outlast your truck. The 42" x 29" x 13" footprint gives you a serious professional presence without hogging your entire workspace.
