So the craftsman one only put out 87 ? Are you sure ? If that is true I guess I'm going with the hobart one, this one puts out 125 correct ??

I called sears to give me the specs. actually the craftsmen only goes up to 85 amps, so the HF one is better by 2 lol. And you can weld with gas on the HF one!

You can weld with gas with the craftsman one also, can someone tell me how many amps this is, I read it and I'm pretty sure I'm correct, just want someone to double check me.

the craftsman one goes up to 87 amps. i couldnt find it on the box. but its right on the machine. its a great welder to start with. its done a lot of work for me. it was my first welder that i learned on and it works great. i'm not real great at welding but all the welds i have done are strong enough to jump on. i made a strut bar and i use it as my tow hook so its strong enough to pull a 2200lb car. but now i am taking arc classes (because i have to before i get to mig and tig) that use 300amp machines and theres a big difference in power

Just picked up a Lincoln electric 100 for 300 bucks, hows this welder ? Says it can handle up to 1/4 inch of steel.
