The POWER MIG® 256 welder is designed for MIG and flux-cored welding in light industrial job shop fabrication, maintenance, or repair work. For a limited time, when you purchase this welder, you'll receive a $700 VISA gift card rebate. The POWER MIG® 256 sets the standard for MIG and flux-cored welding in this industry.
It features Diamond Core Technology™, which provides a forgiving arc, excellent out-of-position arc stability, low spatter, and a wide voltage sweet spot for steel, stainless steel, or aluminum. The MAXTRAC® cast aluminum industrial wire drive ensures regulated wire feed speed control and reliable connections. Digital meters display your preset voltage and wire feed speed, and during welding, the actual voltage is shown.
The new Magnum® PRO gun and cable, measuring 15 ft. (4.5 m), make it easy to reach your work. The Copper Plus® contact tips have a larger tip diameter and mass to enhance heat dissipation and increase tip life. Additionally, the POWER MIG® 256 is spool gun ready for the premium Magnum® 250LX gun and can be used with the Magnum® SG (adapter required).
For added convenience, the 208/230V model includes a 115V auxiliary receptacle to power additional equipment in your work area. The welder also has useful features such as the Coil Claw™ Cable Management system, a top-mounted gun expendables tray, and an all-metal case front.
Please note that the POWER MIG® 256 cannot be powered by an engine-driven welder.

Always helpful, prompt and informative service. I'm a business owner that needs reliable and professional service to counter the chaos of my work week. Knowing that I can go to Josef for supplies (and with questions the never make me feel dumb for asking) and they're open when they say they'll be, prices are stable and they always have stock. That's worth it's weight in gold. Highly recommended.
My 18-year-old son recently embarked on his journey into welding college, and as a parent, I quickly realized how overwhelming the gear requirements can be. He was told he needed a high-quality half-mask respirator, but we hadn’t the foggiest idea where to start, which brands were reputable, or how a proper fit should even feel.
From the moment we walked through the doors, we were in great hands. We were greeted by the store manager, Karen, and I cannot say enough good things about her. In an era where customer service can feel rushed, Karen was a breath of fresh air. She was incredibly patient, kind, and genuinely invested in making sure my son was safe and comfortable.
What really made Karen stand out was her hands-on approach. She didn’t just point us to a shelf; she stayed with us, helping my son try on multiple brands and various sizes. She explained the nuances of the seal and the weight of each mask, ensuring he chose the one he liked best rather than just the most expensive one. Beyond the mask itself, she took the time to educate us on the different filter ratings, explaining exactly what he’d need for his specific classes.
To our surprise, Karen also mentioned a student discount, which is a huge help for anyone just starting out in trade school. It is clear that Karen doesn’t just manage a store—she builds relationships and supports the next generation of tradespeople.
Thank you, Karen, for turning a confusing shopping trip into an amazing, educational experience. You have earned our loyalty! If you are a student or a parent of one, do yourself a favor and go see Karen. This shop provides top-tier service and truly treats their customers like family. We will be back for all his future welding needs!
How you even run a business , you should educate your staff (the person with glasses) do not know how to treat customers. So unprofessional. They didn't refill the oxygen cylinder brand new with Dot -3 regulation marked on it.

I visited to purchase a small item, and Nathan was very friendly and provided detailed explanations with his professional knowledge, which was extremely helpful. We also plan to open a company account.” Highly recommended
I just started going to Josef gas and my gosh the convenience and the pricing is phenomenal. The employees even better. The team at NR Builds wants to say thank you! 🙏
I came in here knowing nothing about the product I needed I bought a laser welder from China and needed the argon and the regulator. They were super helpful and worked with me to figure out my problem.
My company uses Josef Gas for all our welding needs. They are incredibly proficient and overall great people. I personally deal with Nathan. I can simply send him a quick email, and he has everything ready for me when I come to pick it up. Highly recommend.
