| Spec | Handler 125 | Rebel EMP 235ic |
|---|---|---|
| Process | Flux-cored out of the box, and MIG after a regulator and shielding gas are added. The sheet calls it a constant-voltage DC welder. | MIG, TIG, and stick. The wire table includes flux-cored diameters in the ordering copy: up to .052 in. cored wire. |
| Output amp range | 25–130 A. | Current range 5–150 A on 120 V and 5–250 A on 230 V. Maximum output 250 A / 30 V. |
| Rated duty cycle | 80 A at 25% duty cycle. The specifications table also prints 50 A at 60% and 40 A at 100%. | At 104°F (40°C): MIG 120 A / 19 V at 40% on 120 V and 235 A / 26 V at 40% on 230 V. Stick 90 A / 23.6 V at 40% on 120 V and 210 A / 28.4 V at 25% on 230 V. TIG 130 A / 15.2 V at 40% on 120 V and 240 A / 19.6 V at 40% on 230 V. |
| Input voltage and plug | 120 V. Amps input at rated output, 60 Hz: 21.3 A. The sheet says it operates on common 120-volt power and includes a power cord with plug. It does not name the plug or a breaker size. | Primary voltage 120 VAC and 208/230 VAC, 1-phase, 50/60 Hz. Supply range 90–270 VAC. Supply plug 230 V, NEMA 6-50P. A separate accessory is a 230 V to 120 V, 15 A power adapter (W4014000). Input amperes are not in the specifications table. |
| Wire or rod size | Ready to weld with .030–.035 in. (0.8–0.9 mm) self-shielding flux-cored wire. With gas, .023–.030 in. (0.6–0.8 mm) solid wire. Stainless wire is mentioned for 18–12 gauge stainless with tri-mix gas. | Mild steel .023–.035 in. (0.6–0.9 mm). Stainless .030–.035 in. (0.8–0.9 mm). Aluminum .030–.045 in. (0.8–1.2 mm). The introduction also says up to .045 in. solid wire, up to .052 in. cored wire, rods up to 5/32 in., and TIG rods up to 3/16 in. Spools 4, 8, and 12 in. |
| Weight | 57.5 lb. | Specifications table: 63 lb (28.6 kg). The same brochure’s introduction says “weighing in at 53 lbs. (24 kg).” |
| Material thickness | Mild steel thickness range 24 ga.–3/16 in. The same page limits the gas-shielded example to 24 gauge–1/8 inch steel. | Maximum plate thickness 1/2 in. (12.7 mm). |
