With more automotive shops expanding into body work, tool distributors are finding it pays to increase welding tools. Distributors got a chance to learn more about the Mountain brand welding products during the recent ISN Tool Dealer Expo in Orlando, Fla. during a presentation by Michael Cooper, president of Nu-Tec Systems, which makes some of the Mountain and Monster product lines for ISN.
Following are highlights of Cooper’s presentation of welding tools.
MTNMIG6120 Mountain 120 Amp Portable MIG Welder:
- 120V MIG welder with rated output of 80 amps at 20%
- 4-step toggle power switch and variable wire feed speed control
- 4” and 8”wire spool holder for .023” to .035” diameter wire
- Tweco minimig style gun with electronic trigger control for wire feed and shield gas
The tool offers “great 120V portable MIG welder with clean arc penetration in Gas and No-Gas applications,” Cooper said.
MTNMIG6160 Mountain 160 Amp Portable MIG Welder:

- 4” and 8”wire spool holder for .023” to .035” diameter wire
- Tweco minimig style gun with electronic trigger control for wire feed and shield gas
“Always try to up-sell to 230-volt machine as the customer gets 33% more power for less than $100 bucks,” Cooper said.
MTNMIG6226 Mountain 225 Amp MIG Welder:
- 225 amps at 40% (190 amps at 60%)
