1. Type and Technology As mentioned, different welding techniques necessitate different machinery. For example, a simple MIG welder will generally be less expensive than a high-end TIG or multi-process machine capable of handling various welding tasks. The underlying technology, such as inverter-based systems which are lighter and more energy-efficient, can also impact the price.
2. Wire Diameter Consider the range of wire diameters that the straightener can handle. A good wire straightener should accommodate various thicknesses to ensure flexibility in your projects.
