Its compact build, 4.5 kg weight and included shoulder strap also make it suitable for maintenance technicians and installers who need to work off-site, on assembly jobs or building sites, where a fixed bench-mounted power source is not practical. It is not suited to continuous welding in production, where the 20% duty cycle at 160 A limits use to short cycles with cooling pauses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIts place in the Güde range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin Güde's inverter welder line-up, the GIS 162 sits as a mid-range model dedicated to MMA welding only, with current up to 160 A. At the top of the range is the GIS 200, a multi-process model covering MIG\/MAG, MMA, flux-cored wire and optional TIG welding, with adjustable current 10-200 A and 5 kVA power. Anyone working only with stick electrodes and not needing wire welding will find the GIS 162 more targeted in sizing and smaller in footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKrollit logistics and support\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShipping in 3-5 working days from Krollit's warehouse in Monteforte Irpino (AV), Italy.
