Hobart Handler 125 EZ Review

I got my 125 EZ Friday night. I must say, I love this machine. It's been about 14 years since I've welded, if not longer and I'm picking it back up pretty well. My dad is a welder for a living and he came over to get me going and he was really impressed with it too. It didn't do 22 gauge too well, blew right threw it for the most part, but it did 16 gauge to 3/16" really well. I ran a small bead on some 3/16" I had and tried to break the weld by putting it in the vise and smashing it with a hammer and it would not budge. I also welded some motorcycle exhaust together, it came out really bad looking but it would not bust apart. I just need more practice welding on curves / pipes I think.

Exhaust is completed

Here is the exhaust on the bike.  I'll try and get some video this weekend.  We ran the exhaust without any baffles and then installed these 4" baffles I got from JC Whitney.  Without the baffles the bike sounded really mean and really loud, however it popped some.  After installing the baffles the bike got a tad bit quieter but sounds mean still.  I'm really pleased with how it all came out, looks and sound.

As you can see I've also removed the emblems from the tank.  It looks so much cleaner now.
