Description
Carry a real stick welder in one hand with the PrimeWeld STICK225 110v/220v Dual Voltage Stick Welder, a lunchbox-size IGBT inverter machine that weighs about 12 pounds, with a digital power display, Dinse connectors and one MMA/TIG selector button up front. On 220V it delivers up to 160 amps of DC stick output for 3/8-inch steel; the included adapter pigtail runs it on 110V at up to 120 amps for 1/4-inch plate. It burns 6010 and 7018 rods and runs off a generator, so farm and barn repairs are no longer tied to the shop.
Key Features
- Dual Voltage Input: Runs on 110V or 220V single-phase power, 20-amp breaker on 110V and 30-amp on 220V.
- Lift TIG Ready: One button switches stick to lift-start TIG; add an optional TIG torch and argon to weld sheet metal as thin as 24 gauge.
- VRD Safety Circuit: The Voltage Reduction Device drops idle electrode voltage from 62 V to 16 V, lowering shock risk when you work in tight or cluttered spots.
- What’s in the Box: Welder, 10 ft electrode holder, 10 ft ground clamp, 110V adapter pigtail, hand-held welding mask, chipping hammer with wire brush and reference manual.
- About PrimeWeld: PrimeWeld is a New Jersey welding equipment company that backs every machine with a 3-year warranty and US-based phone support.
How to Use It
Switch the machine on at the rear, choose MMA with the selector button and plug the electrode holder into the positive Dinse receptacle and the ground clamp into the negative for DC+ polarity. Set amperage to match the rod diameter, clamp the ground to clean metal, then scratch the electrode across the work to strike an arc and travel at a steady pace. Snap the rod away to end the bead, let it cool and knock off the slag with the chipping hammer. Hold the selector for eight seconds in MMA mode to toggle VRD. Keep the vents clear and respect the 60 percent duty cycle.
