K449 - Lincoln LN-25 Classic Portable Wire Feeder

The Legendary Lincoln LN-25 Suitcase Feeder

If you are welding out in the field, on a boom lift, or deep inside a ship's hull, you need equipment that doesn't quit. The Lincoln Electric LN-25 (K449) is the wire feeder that defined the "suitcase" category. Built like a tank, this feeder is designed to be dragged, dropped, and pushed to the limit while delivering smooth wire feeding every time you pull the trigger. It's the go-to choice for ironworkers, pipe welders, and mobile fabricators who need MIG or Flux-Core capability in remote locations.

The beauty of the LN-25 is its simplicity and versatility. Because it is a voltage-sensing feeder, you don't need a special 14-pin control cable running back to your welder. Just hook up your weld lead to the back of the feeder, clip the voltage sensing lead to your work, and you are ready to weld. It works with your shop MIG machine, your engine drive on the truck, or even an old stick welder (CC mode), giving you wire welding productivity wherever you have an arc.

Inside the rugged plastic case, you'll find the heavy-duty MAXTRAC® drive system. This dual-gear drive ensures the wire keeps moving, preventing bird-nesting and slipping. The fully enclosed case keeps your wire clean and dry, which is critical for passing X-ray quality welds in outdoor environments. Whether you are running .045" Dual Shield or solid wire with gas, the LN-25 K449 is ready to work as hard as you do.
