Question for mobile welders

Date 02-02-2008 21:57

What length leads seem to meet your requirements? We've got one set-up with 80' ground & 100' work and rarely do we reel the whole length out unless someone is too lazy to get a little closer. I've been keeping an eye on prices to get another welder ready for service and methinks I'll be laying out quite a few frogskins......

Thanks

I run 100' of leads, ext. cord and cuttin' hose on the truck. Also have extensions of approx. 50-100' of each also for those high up or far off spots.

I carry 125' of lead and 100' of ground. I can park on one end of an oil rig or a flat tank and reach the whole thing with room to spare. I keep extensions of varying lengths in the garage but its rare that I have to break those out.

I got it broke down in 100' section with quick connects I don't use that much all the time but some time I get on a bridge over water and the only way to get to what I got to weld is from eact end.
