OVERVIEW

Reliable Performance with the ESAB MXL 180 MIG Torch

The ESAB MXL 180 Welding Torch is engineered to provide welders with a reliable, comfortable, and high-performance tool for general fabrication and automotive applications. Designed with the user in mind, this air-cooled MIG gun features an advanced ergonomic handle that fits naturally in the hand, featuring soft-grip areas that ensure a secure hold even when wearing heavy welding gloves. The torch is rated for 180 Amps when using CO2 and 150 Amps with mixed gas, making it a versatile choice for welding mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum in light-to-medium industrial environments.

One of the standout features of the MXL 180 is its attention to maneuverability. The cable assembly connects to the handle via a robust ball joint, which allows for exceptional flexibility and reduces the torque transferred to the welder's wrist. This is particularly beneficial when welding in out-of-position scenarios or navigating around complex workpieces. The 3-meter (10ft) cable length is the industry standard for bench work, providing enough reach to move around a welding table without the hassle of excessive cable clutter.

Compatibility is key in modern welding shops, and the MXL 180 delivers with a standard Euro connector. This universal connection style allows the torch to be plugged into a vast array of power sources from ESAB and other major manufacturers, making it an excellent replacement or upgrade option. The torch utilizes ESAB's proven consumable system, ensuring that contact tips, nozzles, and gas diffusers are readily available and easy to change. Whether you are a hobbyist looking for professional-grade gear or a fabrication shop needing a durable fleet of torches, the ESAB MXL 180 delivers consistent arc starts and smooth wire feeding.
