The challenge with low-budget welders is finding one that doesn’t limit the variety of jobs it can do. That’s not a problem with the Forney Easy Weld 261 model. It can weld up to ¼-inch mild steel, so it’s a match for many larger and more expensive models. Easy-to-use voltage and wire-speed dials provide good control over weld depth.

This is a physically compact welder that weighs just 19 pounds. The welder can run only flux core—not gas MIG—but that puts few limits on general repair and fabrication tasks. It also means it can work indoors or outdoors with access to an ordinary household outlet.
