Specifications
| Price (US) | Not published No credible US MSRP or typical street price could be sourced. The Handler 140 (model 500559) is discontinued — both pages checked note it "has been replaced by the Handler 140EZ (500582)". The only prices on those pages were non-representative: WeldingSuppliesfromIOC listed "Sale price $749.99" / "Regular price $1,074.54" marked "Sold out", and WoodArtSupply listed "$1,099.00" marked "Sold out" (a craft reseller markup). Both are inflated scarcity/reseller prices for a discontinued unit, not an MSRP or typical street price, so no price is listed. |

How we checked
Model identity was confirmed as the exact Hobart Handler 140, model 500559 (UPC/EAN 715959574051): the WoodArtSupply product page lists "Part Number: 500559 / model number: 500559" and WeldingSuppliesfromIOC titles it "Hobart Handler 140 MIG Wire Welder ... (500559)" and notes it "has been replaced by the Handler 140EZ (500582)", distinguishing this unit from its successor. WoodArtSupply's product-detail block verbatim states "Welding Processes MIG/Flux Core, Input Voltage 120VAC, ... 1 Phase, ... Rated Output 90A @ 18.5VDC, Duty Cycle 20 Percent, ... Output Range 25 to 140A DC" and "Mild Steel - Material Thickness 24 ga. to 1/4 In."; IOC verbatim confirms "25 A - 140 A", "110/115/120 V", "Flux Cored (FCAW) MIG (GMAW)", "Weighs only 57 lbs.", and a transformer (non-inverter) design via its "five-position tapped voltage control" and "Five year warranty on transformers". The manufacturer spec sheet (source.url) is Hobart's authoritative document for this model but returned HTTP 429 on every live-fetch attempt in this read, so all specs were verbatim-verified on the two fetched retailer product pages, which reproduce Hobart's spec table; no credible MSRP/street price was available (both listings were discontinued and sold-out), so the price is left blank.
