Everlast PowerTIG 185DV Digital AC/DC TIG & Stick Welder – Dual Voltage Inverter
Whether you’re working on light fabrication, repairs, automotive projects, or mobile welding jobs, the Everlast PowerTIG 185DV is your ideal “toolbox welder.” This dependable and portable AC/DC TIG and stick welder easily fits in your truck, ready to perform wherever the job takes you. Its intuitive, manual controls are perfect for welders who prefer tactile adjustment over digital touchscreens.
Equipped with dual voltage capability (120V/240V), the PowerTIG 185DV offers true go-anywhere flexibility, allowing you to weld virtually anywhere a standard power outlet is available. Compact yet rugged, this powerful welder delivers professional-grade performance in garages, workshops, and on-site environments.
Powered by a digitally controlled IGBT inverter, the 185DV produces a smooth, stable arc that’s as clean and consistent as any welder in its class. It excels in both AC/DC TIG welding and stick welding, providing maximum versatility for a wide range of metals including aluminium, stainless steel, and mild steel.
