it appears both the 15a and 30a are both 200 amps...so im good...i appreciate yall helping out been dreaming of the 252 for over 15 years...im glad hobart dragged their *** with the ironman 240...lol should bought the 252 first anyway..heard the 240 ironman has aluminum transformer coils...lots say...

thanks ryan i found this one..used 4 times its like new for 750 shipped good deal???....i see them going for as much as 1600 ...

little confused they say 15 amp gun is same as 30 amp gun? its just length of cords....but why would they call one 15 amp...and the other 30 amp?...makes little sense to me?...is 15 amp gun enough for most projects and repairs? or should i buy 30 amp??

i found a like new spoolmate 3035 on facebook will it work with 252 miller?
this is what miller claims i dont quite understand where it says "not reccomended" ...

[sickchoppers]

will the Miller spoolmate 3035 work on the 252? miller website sorta says it will...but can someone explain this? says not reccomended????
just trying to save money...found few on facebook that are affordable ...

watched few videos...doesnt look shop worthy to me...i cant imagine dropping that thing and it surviving...doesnt look built to survive shop conditions
