A few nice Package Metal images I found:
What. The. Fuck.
Image by santheo
This metal die-cut Punisher paperweight (?) arrived, without a note, in a package at our house yesterday. I have no idea what we’re supposed to take away from this. Is this how the Punisher targets his next victim? Is it a love note?
After careful inspection of the box, and some Googling, I figured out which of our friends sent it to us. The _why_ is still unknown, at least until I talk to him. Stay tuned.

A good little welder,
I bought this machine (Hobart Handler 140) more than a year ago and have put it through its paces. It comes with the regulator, switch and hose so you only need the tank. Of course you can use flux core without the tank. Remember that you can get away with welding stainless with Argon but Trimix or an Argon/CO2 mix it recommended. I already had a helmet etc. so another $120 for a new full R40 Argon tank and I was MIG welding aluminum.
This is a fully functional MIG welder that runs on 115V (20 amps) current. It is well made and I haven’t had any problems with durability or malfunctions, it is quite reliable in that respect. It is quite portable and I like the safety switch which is only live when you’re actually welding. I also called support once (about the liner) and they were prompt and helpful. It does have one tiny annoyance that the door latch is made of plastic and doesn’t usually latch properly, but since the door hangs down when closed anyway, it really doesn’t matter.
I’ve welded various thicknesses of mild steel, Stainless and Aluminum with it and, for the most part, it has performed as advertised. I’ve also used both the 1lb roles and the 10lb rolls. One tiny problem, the spring is a bit too long on the small rolls and you have to put the lock nut for them on backwards in order to get low enough friction if you’re using aluminum wire.
The machine does indeed weld 3/16″ steel in one pass if you go very slow and have a smooth technique. If you are looking for something to weld heavy steel often, get a stick welder for half the money, or move to a 220 machine that will run heavier wire. With respect to heavy steel, I wanted this machine just for occasional smaller welds and it delivers there. On light sheet, it is like a glue gun for metal and fully in its element. It comes with Miller type tips but I actually prefer the shorter, flat nosed, Lincoln tips (which fit perfectly) for steel.
I’ve also welded a lot of stainless in the 12-18 ga range with it and it has been great at that as well.
Welding aluminum with this machine, as with every MIG except a spool gun in this power range, is a tedious process. On thinner material, you need to be very fast and very smooth. On thicker material, it can be really good IF you have good karma, think happy thoughts and have everything right – see below. If you’re buying it primarily to weld aluminum though – this is not the appropriate class of machine for you. Depending on what you want to do, look for a 220 machine with intelligent speed control, or a TIG, or even a henrob torch or Al “brazing” rods. No matter how good you are, it is a pain and you’ll end up with at least a few bird’s nests per project with this machine.
How to weld heavier aluminum with this machine.
1. use a .045 tip. The machine only takes .030 aluminum wire and they recommend a .035 tip for aluminum but it isn’t big enough. You really need to move to the .045 tip for aluminum or you aren’t going to weld more than a couple of minutes before you start a bird’s nest factory. Tips are only about a buck a piece.
2. Keep the gun hose very straight, especially on the machine end. This is tedious and difficult sometimes but it makes a big difference.
3. Use 5 series wire (e.g. 5356 – app. $5/lb. from several online sources like weldingsupply) instead of the 4043
that you see at home depot or harbor freight. Especially at the highest amperage, the 4043 is virtually unuseable in this machine (at least without a lot of headaches), even with the nylon liner. One annoying thing is that the 5356 is harder to feed near the end of the role and will be more prone to kinking. The 5356 does seem to require a slight bit more heat so you need to always push the weld and go slow on thicker material – ideally with the material flat. This machine rates at 5-10 amps more than the other machines on the market (140 vs. 130-135). It doesn’t sound like much of an advantage but I read elsewhere that you can’t get penetration with the 5356 in 115V machines and that just isn’t true with this machine. I have a 450 gal 1/8″ aluminum hot tub to prove it.
4. Use a nylon liner if you plan to weld a lot of aluminum. They are $17-$25, mine is from Miller. Also make sure that it is perfectly cut and aligned to the drive wheel.
5. Make sure that the aluminum is very clean.
In general, it is a good machine with good support and versatility. In its niche, it is a very good choice in relation to the other brands. I don’t give it all the stars really only because they should be a bit more up front in their advertising that while it does weld aluminum, the machine (like others in its class) really isn’t a great choice for that.

|Great little machine.,
I’ve had my hobart 125 for about a year…never welded before purchasing it. WIth a little practice, I’ve been fairly successful in welding on replacement panels on my project truck. I spent the additional money to buy the gas regulator and solenoid kit…as well as a gas bottle. The gas makes a real difference.
To anyone looking to buy a small machine, I’d stay away from the El’ Cheapo welders you see at Walmart and such. Buying a Hobart guarantees that the machine can be serviced locally. The Hobart/Miller company is really great about their service and support. I spent quite a bit of time on their online Forums and the employees and Miller / Hobart have always been very helpful.

|Exceeds expectations,
I love it. I’ve made very successful welds on 1/8″ steel using .035 wire and 25/75 argon/co2 mix, 5/32″ cast aluminum using .035 aluminum wire with 100% argon, (repaired Webber gas grill cover hinge that broke in a gale: Saved a pretty penny!), 24 gauge steel using .023″ wire 25/75 argon/co2, and several other thicknesses of steel up to 5/32″. Flux core wire works well too on 1/8″ and thicker steel, but of course not as pretty a weld. Easy to set up, adjust, and learn to use. Have not yet exceeded the duty cycle or caused a circuit breaker to open. I have found that one of the keys is to look at the work from the side so the puddle is always visible. I use a self-darkening helmet: expensive, but I think worth it. My previous experience is with a torch and with 220v buzz box. The MIG makes strong welds in material 1/8″ and thinner so much easier. Buy one and enjoy it.

|They Hold Paper Together,
The “Creative Impressions” mini metal paper clips come in three colors. Silver, Copper and Brass. When you’re getting ready to turn in your resume you want it to look “just so.” The folks at – let’s call them “Company-X” – have a reputation for excellence and precision, so when I turned in my resume along with my job application I wanted to make sure the multiple pages, pages which perhaps to them represent some degree of weight which will be used to compare me to other candidates, I needed to make sure that the carefully typed and formatted pages stayed together yet were not stapled. A plastic paperclip, perhaps red and flashy, might have said “cheap whore” to the employer. That’s not me. That’s not who I am. Silver? Too drab. Copper? Too prone to tarnish. Brass? Bloody perfect, and a synonym for my character. Obviously “Company-X” got the message, and the next time you order a double-frappuccino you might thank me – or you might thank the “Creative Impressions” mini metal Paper Clips package of 25 clips.

|I should have put a box of cigarettes in there for scale. It’s about ten inches long.
Looks more like an egg slicer than anything else, except for the lines-between-the-teeth being splayed on the upper part.
Letter organizer. Saw it in the office yesterday — pretty big. I like it though. But then, I like skulls and I loved the Punisher.
Mystery solved.
