Same fields. Each cell is that model's published text. A blank stays "Not published by manufacturer." The outlet chip does not hide either column.
| Spec | Handler 125 | TIG230 |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | AC/DC TIG and stick. The page lists nine AC waveforms, including square, sine, triangle, and hybrid. |
| Output amp range | 25–130 A. | TIG 2–230 A. Stick 10–200 A. |
| Rated duty cycle | 80 A at 25% duty cycle. The specifications table also prints 50 A at 60% and 40 A at 100%. | TIG: 35% at 230 A, 60% at 175 A, 100% at 136 A. Stick: 35% at 200 A, 60% at 152 A, 100% at 118 A. The duty lines are not split by voltage. |
| 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. | 90–275 V, 50–60 Hz. That range covers a 120 V outlet and a 240 V outlet. Input amperes are not in the specifications block. |
| 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. | Not published by manufacturer |
| Weight | 57.5 lb. | 46 lb. Dimensions 22 in. long, 8 in. wide, 16 in. high. |
| 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. | Not published by manufacturer |
