Every home welding hobbyist needs some basic tools. If this is a hobby of yours and you are looking to get started, or you simply need to update your inventory, you will be able to look into four main categories.
Welder
Of all the welding supplies you need, a welder is at the top of the list. You will want one that is easy to operate and that works within your budget. You need to look at the size and capabilities of the different welders on the market to ensure you buy one that will allow you to do a variety of projects.
Safety Gear
It’s important to work safely, even when you are welding for a hobby. You will want to get goggles to protect your eyes from the bright light that is emitted during welding. You will also want to protect your body and arms with a welding jacket and gloves. You should also look at ear plugs if your welder makes a lot of noise.
Hand Tools
All sorts of hand tools will allow you to work on lots of projects – in a variety of sizes. You will want to look at weld gages, extendable mirrors and flashlights, and ball point metal markers.
Power Tools
Power tools will allow you to get a project completed efficiently and safely. You can look at such items as grinders, drills, band saws and more.
