PLT0280278-1 - Canaweld MMA 161DU Dual Voltage Portable Stick/TIG Inverter Welder

The Ultimate Grab-and-Go Stick Welder

If you are looking for a welder that can go anywhere you go and burn rods like a shop machine, the Canaweld MMA 161DU is your answer. This isn't just another hobbyist lunchbox welder; it's a serious tool for serious welders who need portability. Whether you are fixing a fence in a remote pasture, repairing heavy equipment on a job site, or doing some fabrication in your garage, this machine has the guts to get it done. The dual-voltage feature is a game-changer—plug it into a standard 120V household outlet for light work, or hook it up to 240V to unleash the full 160 Amps of power.

One of the standout features for professional welders is how well this machine handles different electrodes. It strikes an arc easily and maintains a smooth, buttery puddle with 7018 rods, and it has the dig required to run 6010 and 6011 cellulosic rods for root passes or dirty metal. If you need to do some precision work, switch it over to TIG mode. The Lift TIG feature allows you to start your weld without high frequency, saving your tungsten from contamination and keeping your electronics safe. It’s perfect for stainless steel trim or thin-gauge mild steel repairs.

We know that field work is tough on equipment. That's why the MMA 161DU is built tough. It’s generator friendly, so you don't have to worry about frying the board when running off portable power. It's lightweight enough to throw over your shoulder with the included strap, climbing ladders or squeezing into tight spaces with ease. No more hauling heavy transformer machines around. With the capacity to run up to 5/32" rods, you aren't limited to just tacking; you can lay down serious structural welds. This is the machine you keep in the truck because you know it will work every time you pull the trigger.
