Compact power for a wide range of welding tasks

The Lincoln Electric Weld-Pak 225i Stick DV is a compact inverter welder that delivers DC stick welding power from 10 to 225 amps, with a 120V/230V input. It supports mild steel electrodes from 5/64" to 5/32" and can weld single-pass from 12 gauge sheet metal up to 5/16" thick steel. At 230V, it provides a 30% duty cycle at 225 amps, offering steady performance for longer runs without overheating. The unit is designed to be carried between jobs and stored in a small workspace, making it a practical choice for on-site maintenance and light fabrication.
