Which welder do I need?
- Power on site: if you have 120 or 240 V outlets, an electric stick welder like the Thunderbolt is simple and quiet. If you have no power, rent an engine-driven welder and generator.
- Thickness: thicker steel needs more amperage. Tell us the material thickness and rod size and we will recommend a unit.
- Welding plus tools: the Miller Blue Star 185 also supplies up to 6,200 W of generator power for grinders, lights and other tools.
- Safety gear: rent or bring a welding helmet, gloves and leathers. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby and clear flammables from the area.

Welder rental FAQs
Do I need a generator to run a welder?
Only if you have no power. The Thunderbolt 160 plugs into 120 or 240 V. The Miller Blue Star 185 and the Bobcat 250 are engine-driven and make their own power.
What is the difference between stick and MIG welding?
Stick welding uses a coated rod and works outdoors and on dirty or rusty steel. MIG uses a wire feed and gas and is faster on clean metal. Our units are stick welders; call us if you need wire-feed equipment.
Can I use the Blue Star 185 as a generator?
Yes. It supplies up to 6,200 W of continuous generator power while it is not welding.
Are rods and cables included?
Tell us the job and we will include the leads, clamp and rods you need.
Can I rent a welder for a day?
Yes, daily, weekly and monthly. Call 718-344-1474 for availability.
