MIG / Stick / TIG Welder - FORCE 205MST*
Now available with 7-year warranty.
The Force 205MST* is not your standard portable multi-function MIG.

Love it!! Still learning how to get the best result from it. I have only been using a basic stick welder for the past 30 years, so I have been practicing with the gasless Mig function and finding it very easy when set on the Auto Mig Mode. I have found the mig weld has a lot of slag that isn't easy to get off the job, it isn't as clean as the stick weld I am used to, but it is early days and more experience may achieve a better result, or I may have to start using gas to get the desired result, not sure yet.
