Esab handy arc 3.25i inverter welding machine – 220v

ESAB HandyArc 3.25i Inverter Welding Machine (220V)

The ESAB HandyArc 3.25i is an ultra-portable inverter stick welder built for blacksmiths, tradesmen and anyone who needs to make quick, reliable repairs on the move. At just 3.7 kg, it’s small enough to live in a tool cabinet or the back of a bakkie, but still packs enough power to run 3.25 mm electrodes — including 7018 — with a clean, easy arc start.

Despite its size, the HandyArc 3.25i is built for real work. It runs at a 60% duty cycle at 160A, so it can handle extended sessions without tripping out, and its turbo ventilation with overheating sensor keeps it running reliably all day. Hot Start, Arc Force and Anti-Stick functions take the guesswork out of arc ignition and keep the electrode from sticking mid-weld — useful for less experienced users and a time-saver for pros.
