Hobart StickMate XL AC/DC

admin

I have an opportunity to buy this welder for $175.  I see what they list for on Hobart's website of $651.  So by that it sounds worth it, but I am 3 hours away.  Also, what is the difference between the XL and the LX?Last edited by gjgarre; 02-24-2009 at 11:21 PM.My Babies:MillerMatic 185Thermal Arc 300SHobart StickMate AC/DC 235/160Dalex Werke Spot WelderOh and the wife and kids are important too!
Reply:No idea on the LX model, but I can say I see old AC only machines selling for that price. If it works, and fits your needs for 175.00 then I say get it.
Reply:i think he means stickmate LX. as of the past few years hobart has only made two models of the stickmate, the LX 235 ac only model, $280 at my local tractor supply, and the LX 235 ac/160 dc model, $470 at my local tractor supply. 175 for the ac/dc version is a great price if it works and are overall just nice little stick welders!johnjohnwelding instructorwww.williamrmoore.orgMooreTech College of Technologywelder/fabricatorJGWilson, Inc.www.jgwilson.com
