Find All You Need for Quality Stick Welding
Stick welding, also known as shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), is a fast, reliable way to fuse two metal pieces. A SMAW welding machine generates an electric current that heats up a flux-coated electrode rod, or stick. The rod then creates an electric arc that melts the metal workpiece and the rod, fusing them to form a solid weld.
At Lowe’s, we carry a wide range of lightweight, portable stick welders that offer heavy-duty performance, dual voltage, and cables that connect to either extension cords or welding generators. Variable welding and electrode thicknesses give you the ability to find the right machine for your job. For better portability, consider options that include a shoulder strap.
We offer top models, like the rugged and powerful Lincoln Electric stick welder, which provides a tight work clamp, a stable direct current (DC) welding arc and dent-resistant casing. You’ll also find high-quality stick welders from leading brands, like Hobart, Forney, Longevity and Century. These options include excellent models for DIYers, workshops, farms and serious hobbyists, as well as suitable stick welders for beginners who want a reliable starting point.
