Lincoln Tombstone or Hobart Stickmate?

[lennyzx11]

I have both and they are in good shape and similar age. AC/DC, ratings similar, etc.

If I had to sell one, is one clearly better?

I don’t stick weld much anymore since I bought a Hobart MVP210.
So having two just sitting seems wasteful.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Reacquaint yourself with the two machines. Maybe do ten minutes of side by side testing and go from there.

Otherwise list BOTH for sale and keep the one that doesn’t sell.

Actually this is somewhat valid. Copper weighs more than aluminum, and my money is on the Lincoln as the one you should keep.

Are you sure they both do DC?

I don’t know anything about Stickmates but the ones on the Hobart site are DC only.

There is about 2000 words worth right there. I am very partial to Lincoln stick welders.

Me too and my guess is the Hobart will be an easier unit to sell.

I gotta kindof say, and since it's my pashion, the Hobart looks more Skookum. The Lincoln looks cheesey, big box store like.
