Snap On MW120 MIG Welder

I am not sure why many of you insist that a 110 machine will not run .035. As long as the machine is working correctly and you are not trying to run it off of an extent in cord it will run it just fine and get plenty of penetration as long as you are not trying to weld 1/2 steel with it.

.035 solid wire is too big a wire for a 110 volt MIG welder. I dont see any practical reason to run that heavy a wire in that machine
Ive been down this road with guys who think they know everything because they can stick two pieces of metal together and call it a day

The duty cycle alone of a 110 machine would make it impractical. Simply put there is not enough amperage output in a 110 volt machine
Short circuit arc MIG in it of itself isn't the strongest weld, no experienced competent welder I know uses short circuit MIG in anything that requires any kind of high strength
