The Factory-Reconditioned Lincoln Electric U2188-1 Weld-Pak HD Welder uses flux-cored wire and has a 35 to 88 amp output for welding up to 1/8" thick mild steel. The welder has a compact design for portability, and its wire stays inactive until the gun trigger is pressed for safety. It has four output settings and a continuous wire feed speed adjustment to ensure accurate power and speed. It is also fan-cooled for a long life. It has a 20% duty cycle at 70 amps that allows it to run 2 minutes out of each 10-minute period without overheating. It comes with a welding gun and cable, work cable with clamp, 1 lb. spool of flux-cored wire, contact tips, handshield, and chipping hammer with brush.

*H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.

Welders join two or more pieces of metal to form one solid piece by simultaneously applying heat to soften them and applying pressure to connect them. Stick welders, also known as arc welders, use an electrified arc that flows between a welding stick and the metal to join the pieces. Wire-fed welders use an electrified wire spool that is fed at a constant speed between the pieces of metal to join them.

Lincoln Electric manufactures welders and welding supplies, including the Century brand. The company, founded in 1895, is headquartered in Cleveland, OH.
