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.

I’ve had an excellent experience with Josef Gas and can confidently say they are a top tier welding gas supplier. From the moment I reached out, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping me find exactly what I needed.
I’ve been dealing with this company since its inception and with the owner when he was with Air Liquide. This is a top notch organization, right down from the owners to the counter staff and even the guys in the yard. Pricing is always been fair and SERVICES second to none.
Great experience overall. The account setup was smooth, and the deposit process was straightforward. There was a small issue, but Teresa handled it quickly and was very easy to work with. Highly recommend.
Went above and Beyond in terms of service. Quick phone answer, exceptional reception, and very helpful staff. Will be coming here again. Thanks Josef Gas
Excellent service. I needed some "accomodation" and they found a way to help me out, although first they told me "no way", but after me asking nice, there was one. Thank you!! The pink balloons won.
I came in for a simple argon bottle swap—not a lesson in surprise fees. If you intend to charge an “environmental fee,” disclose it upfront in your quote. Adding it at checkout is unacceptable. Be transparent or adjust your pricing—don’t hide it.
Was recommended to come here for my welding supplies from my welding instructor and I was not disappointed. Friendly staff, and super helpful. Will definitely be coming here for all my welding needs in the future!!
