Welding & Soldering
Shop Popular Welders
MIG Welders
MIG welders create professional joints on thick and thin materials. Spool fed with an external shielding gas, this machine doesn’t require cleaning slag for a faster, easier weld.
TIG Welders
Great for thin alloys, TIG welders require a shielding gas but offer greater control of the current with the use of an amperage foot pedal.
Stick Welders
The most popular welder in home workshops, stick welders are economical and effective for most alloys, even dirty or rusty surfaces.
Engine-Driven Welders
Used primarily for powering jobsite machinery like air compressors, engine-driven welders generate power for TIG, MIG, stick and flux-cored welding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the different types of welders?
A: MIG welders use a wire welding electrode on a spool fed automatically at a constant, preselected speed. This produces a strong, clean-looking weld with minimal cleanup needed. MIG welding is easy to learn and works well on either thin or thick metals, such as stainless steel and aluminum.
Flux-cored welders are like MIG welders in that they rely on a wire-fed process. Flux-cored welders are better suited for outdoor use, in windy conditions or on dirty metals. They’re also a popular choice for construction jobs due to their higher welding speed and portability.
Stick welders are the most popular choice for home welding projects since you can use them inside or outside and in drafty spaces. They’re best for working on thicker metals, making them a good choice for home and farm repairs and craftsman projects. A welding generator works well in these situations.
TIG welders use long rods to join two metals together. This type of welder can be used on more metal types than any other. You can produce precise, high-quality welds with a TIG welder, making it a great option for auto body repair. However, TIG welding is a more difficult skill to learn than other types of welding.
Q: What’s MIG welding?
A: MIG welding is one of the simplest and most versatile welding methods available. It can produce high-quality welds quickly without the need to start and stop as often. MIG welding works well on metals like aluminum, stainless steel, bronze and copper. Thanks to the ease of operation and speed of use on thin metals, MIG welding is a favorite for automotive and recreational vehicle (RV) repair.
Q: What’s stick welding best for?
A: Thanks to its wide range of applications and ability to join thick metals, stick welding is used for repair, fabrication and construction. It provides quality welding both outside and indoors. Stick welding is popular for working on pipelines, with steel framing in building construction, on farm machines and even in underwater welding.
