Weighing in at a mere 13 pounds, this powerhouse is redefining portability in the welding industry. Whether you are climbing ladders, working in tight mechanical rooms, or moving between job sites, the adjustable shoulder strap and compact design make transportation effortless. But don't let the size fool you—this machine is packed with features that deliver superior arc quality for both TIG and Stick processes.
Versatile Power for Any Location
Never worry about finding the right power hookup again. The Maxstar 161 STH comes equipped with separate 120V and 240V power cords that swap out in seconds without tools. Thanks to Auto-Line™ technology, you can plug into any standard residential or industrial power supply, and the machine handles the rest. It's the perfect companion for maintenance repair, shipboard installation, or farm and ranch work where power sources vary.
Precision Control Made Easy
Struggling with thin materials? The built-in Pulsed TIG feature (up to 150 pulses per second) gives you incredible control over the weld puddle, reducing heat input and preventing warping. If you aren't sure where to start, the Pro-Set™ feature takes the guesswork out of setup, letting you dial in optimal settings instantly. For Stick welding, say goodbye to frustrating starts. The Adaptive Hot Start™ ensures your electrode lights every time without sticking, even with tough 6010 rods. Plus, the built-in gas solenoid means you don't need a bulky TIG torch with a manual valve—streamlining your setup for maximum comfort and efficiency.

Size does not matter with this machine
Been welding with this machine at my work for a couple years. It doesn't pop breakers like its predecessor. You can actually stick weld without long arching. 220 works much better than 110 but my generator in my feild truck runs this great !
Yes I recommend these to all my contractor friends
I use these on all my job sites industrial and commercial stainless carbon they're great for TIG welding and they run all day long. we do 12-hour days 6 7 days a week and they work fantastic
I would buy this product again.
I use this welder for clean tig welding on steel , galvanized, Stainless metals . we have had 3 of these and they are great.
I would defiantly buy this machine again.
We use this machine for Tig welding food grade milk pipe in our dairy. It works great, and with its small size we can get up into the ceiling to reach pipes needing leak repairs.
Top notch
Very worthy and reliable machine … great performance.. good quality so far
Worth the money
Best little welder I've used. Runs 6010 and 7018 just like my big blue. I've ran a few 309l rods and all have welded great doesn't trip my 20 amp 120v breaker. Easy to use and is convenient for jobs that are next to impossible to get my welding rig into .. great for plant work / mobile welding
Next purchase shall be the maxstar 210 DX
I use this machine in the sanitary welding field. Very compact and very convenient. It gives great output and can handle heavy use on the daily. The pulse on this machine is very convenient for welding stainless steel Pharaohs that can pull if you don't control your heat. Not with this machine.
Best portable DC Tig unit out there.
Great little machine for portable work. The machine this small, lightweight, runs on 110 or 220, has HF and miller build quality. What else is there to say.
I would buy this suitcase welder over and over again.
I would stick and I'm learning how to tig user friendly.
Good purchase
So far I really like the machine wish I could have gotten another maxstar 150stl but this one is doing good
