The 30% duty cycle at 85 amps offers practical arc-on time for repeated welds on brackets, angle iron, and plate. Its inverter power supply and 5.8 lb weight make it easy to carry around the shop or load into a vehicle, while generator-friendly specs let you weld away from fixed power with a properly sized 4,000 W unit. Lift start TIG (torch and gas setup sold separately) gives you room to grow into more precise, cleaner welds as your skills improve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIdeal for:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHome and garage repairs on brackets, mower decks, and small equipment where a compact 120V stick welder is easiest to move.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight fabrication and DIY projects up to 1\/4 in., such as workbenches, carts, and small frames.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFarm, ranch, and property maintenance using a generator or long extension cord when the work is far from an outlet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLearning stick and basic DC TIG welding on a forgiving, beginner-friendly starter stick welder platform.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat’s included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForney® Easy Weld® 100 ST-i machine with 7 ft power cord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 ft stick electrode holder and lead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 ft ground clamp and lead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e15 to 20 amp plug adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick Start Guide (English, Spanish, French)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNylon carry strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty \u0026amp; support:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 1 year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpert-Tech® support: Access to Forney’s Colorado-based team of real welders for help with setup, troubleshooting, and repair questions throughout your equipment’s life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eForney®, Easy Weld® and Expert-Tech® are trademarks of Forney® Industries®, Inc. and may be registered in the United States and\/or other countries.
