The Forney® 160 STx is a dual-voltage stick and DC TIG welder that pairs serious 160 amp performance with a next-generation, large bright display and simple one-knob control. Run it on 120V household power for lighter jobs, or step up to 240V to weld thicker material up to 3/8 in. in a single pass, with adjustable arc force and 6010‑capable output that lets you tackle demanding open‑root work. Backed by a 3-year warranty and Forney® Industries’ 90+ years of welding experience, this dual-voltage stick and TIG welder is built for contractors, farmers, and serious DIYers who need a portable machine that still feels like a pro-grade stick welder. Key features & benefits:Expert-Tech® support gives you a direct line to Forney’s technical team for setup, troubleshooting, and parts; all from real welders based in Colorado, USA.3-year warranty delivers long-term assurance so you can rely on the 160 STx for ongoing repair, maintenance, and fabrication work.Bright passive LCD with large readout delivers a next-generation panel that makes it easy to see your amperage and settings in dim shops or bright outdoor light.6010-capable stick output delivers the digging arc and high open-circuit voltage needed to run E6010 electrodes for open-root passes and work on dirty or rusty materials.Adjustable arc force control delivers the ability to fine-tune the arc to match different rods and techniques so you can prevent sticking, control penetration, and dial in the feel you want.Dual input voltage (120V / 240V) delivers flexibility so you can plug into household power for small jobs or step up to 240V in the shop or field for full 160 amp output on thicker material.Compact, lightweight inverter with handle and carry strap delivers portability so you can carry the welder, wrap the leads, and bring it directly to the work.Lift start TIG capability (DC TIG) delivers more precise heat control on thin metal so you can produce cleaner, more controlled weld beads when appearance matters.Generat
