Thunder 255 with DC TIG Package $2,200.00 Original price was: $2,200.00.$2,000.00Current price is: $2,000.00.

The Thunder 255 is an adaptable powerhouse designed to handle a variety of welding tasks. Whether you’re looking to perform MIG, DC TIG, or Stick welding, this machine is a perfect fit for any welding shop, catering to both fabrication and production needs. Utilizing Everlast’s renowned IGBT inverter technology, this unit is digitally controlled by a microprocessor, ensuring a stable and precise arc across diverse conditions. The Thunder 255 offers an extensive array of functions and features, along with a level of adjustability that sets it apart from other welders in its category.

Equipped with a built-in wire feeder, the Thunder 255 excels as both a conventional MIG welder (Short Arc and Spray) and a Pulsed Spray MIG welder (Single Pulse), offering function selections for each. Furthermore, this model supports FCAW and FCAW-P (Self-Shielded Flux Core and Gas Shielded Flux-Core) wires, enhancing its versatility.
