Power Forged in Independence. 

From the sparks of revolution to the spirit of American craftsmanship, HTP America brings you the Independence 251 Dual Voltage AC/DC — a TIG machine that delivers unmatched performance with the grit and reliability American welders demand. 

If the INDEPENDENCE 210 AC/DC was the declaration, then the INDEPENDENCE 251 AC/DC is the Constitution — the solid foundation of TIG power, control, and versatility that lets you weld without limits. 

Built on the legacy of the Invertig 251 AC/DC, the Independence 251 AC/DC keeps everything you loved — and flies it under a new banner. Designed for those who take pride in their work and stand tall behind every weld they make.

This machine is your TIG torch of liberty. 

This is not just another TIG welder — it’s a symbol of what happens when rules are broken and welders not “bean counters” build elite welding machines. 

 

🔥 FEATURES OF THE INDEPENDENCE 251 AC/DC

250 Amps of TIG Power – AC & DC Modes 

Confidently weld everything from aluminum to stainless, mild steel, titanium, and more — with smooth, stable arc control throughout the full range.

🔄 AC/DC Mix TIG Mode 

Combine the cleaning power of AC with the deep penetration of DC in a single arc. Perfect for heavy aluminum and high-speed productivity — ideal for structural, motorsports, and marine applications. 3 AC wave forms to choose from and mix wave shapes. 

🔁 Double Pulse TIG 

Add rhythm and control to your welds. Reduce heat input, minimize warping, and create that signature “stacked dime” appearance with ease — even on tricky metals and thin gauge material. The perfect tool for titanium.

⚙️ Fast Tack Function 

High-frequency, low-distortion arc starts for quick tacking without filler — ideal for precise fixturing and fit-up work where every second counts. 

🎯 Full AC Frequency & Balance Control 

Dial in the exact arc shape, focus, and cleaning action for your job. Whether you’re welding cast, extruded, or mirror-finish aluminum — you’re in control.

⏱️ Start & End Amps with Adjustable Slopes 

Soft starts and smooth finishes — set your arc exactly how you want it to begin and end, from razor-thin sheet to thick section fabrication.

🧠 Memory Function & Preset Jobs 

Save and recall your favorite settings in seconds — fast setup for repeatable jobs in the shop or field. 

🔥 Carbon air arc gouging  

Easily remove old welds, cut castings, remove stainless and leave a surface ready to just touch up with a grinder or in most cases to weld to right away. 

🖥️ Large Color Display & Intuitive Controls 

Big, bright interface with simplified menus. Quickly adjust key parameters without digging through layers of complexity.

🌀 Fan-On-Demand Cooling 

Runs quiet when idle. Powers up when things get hot — keeps your machine clean and efficient.

Versatile enough for maintenance and structural welding with stick. Quick polarity changeover and smooth arc response. 

🔌 Dual Voltage – 120V & 240V Compatible

Take it anywhere. Plug into standard 120V power for light-duty jobs or go full throttle at 240V for high-output TIG work.

Anyone Can Do It!
Format: Paperback
My husband and I are hiking the PCT and this book has come in very helpful. We especially appreciate the areas we can park at the beginning and end of each section. It is making the trail very doable for two older people who could never make it otherwise. I tear out the section, make a copy and highlight some of the details for example a gate at 4.5 miles. It helps encourage us to continue when we know about how far we have left to go. Also the little map showing elevation gain and lost. The last 17 mile trip we did last week was predominantly up hill. Knowing that ahead of time prepares us mentally for a difficult hike. Our next section is 10 miles downhill so we will do that as a day hike and bring the dog. For anyone who thinks they can't do the PCT this is the perfect book. If I can do it Anyone Can Do It!

Best Section Books out there!
Format: Paperback
I plan to section hike the PCT in mostly small sections. Previous section books I'd found were called "PCT Section Hiking" but really were if you just wanted to get your feet on the PCT. THIS series of books is more than I could have hoped for and makes it so easy! I had previously spent hours and hours planning small sections, researching where to leave my car, which wilderness, what permits were needed, and on and on. This series (all different authors, but organized the same way, wonderful!) provides all the need to know info, plus very detailed commentary on each segment/leg. So grateful! So good!

Excellent resource for anyone hiking the PCT
Format: Paperback
I bought this for my brother who will be hiking the PCT for a second time this summer. He has read many books on the PCT and he said this book is an excellent resource for anyone thinking about or hiking, planning to return to, the PCT. Very easy to follow and everything you need to know as you plan your hike.

Has me feeling prepared
Format: Paperback
Gearing up to hike the first section of the PCT. I got this book, my hiking buddy got a different book that covers the entire trail. While talking about our hiking plans he often says “my book didn’t mention that.” It’s clear this book is more detailed and up to date. I’m feeling very prepared and in the know about what to expect on the PCT.

The Best of the Modern Guides to the PCT.
Format: Paperback
This book is not an update of the Wilderness Press classics on which the trail was discovered and hiked by a couple generations from the 1970s to around 2010. It does however owe those books a heavy and unacknowledged debt. This is most notable in lettering sections which the author of this guide, Shawnte Salabert, attributes to the PCTA but in fact come from scarified, Schaffer, et all who wrote the original guides to California, Oregon, and Washington. Even the definition of sweat constitutes the Southern California trail, comes from those guides. (It starts at the Mexican Border near Campo California and ends in Tuolumne Meadows, Yosemite.). But alas, those books are long out of print, in part because today’s hikers prefer light weight apps with minimal trail information as opposed to detailed descriptions of the physical geography and varied ecosystems of the trail. I’m not sure the lost knowledge has equaled the reduced weight but I’m a bit old school. And this book is as much a throwback to that kind of writing as it is a nod to recent demands of the hiking community. It does cover every mile of the route, suggest campsites along the way, and as much as possible provide an option for day and section hikes along the trail for just about anyone. The author provides good car descriptions to major trailheads for each section hike he recommends as well as available entry and exit options along the way. The writing is entertaining and the author has his own sense of humor that will become readily apparent as you read the text. Based on my experiences (and I’ve hiked 95% of the trail he describes at least once; sometimes multiple times) his mileage descriptions are accurate and you will easily be able to recognize the places he describes along the way. The book also features nice color photos and it’s availability in digital form will certainly please the gram counting hiker set. On the other hand, I miss seeing elevations along with miles at each major trail intersection, pass etc. Salabert does give total elevation gain and loss for each section of trail he describes but sometimes it’s nice to know just how much of a climb to expect. Ultimately, this book fulfills it’s purpose. You should want to hike the PCT after reading a few pages if you hadn’t already when you purchased the book. And if you are like many people with only a weekend or a few days to spare hiking the trail, this book will make planning short sections easier. It offers a lot. But it reminds me of an era when guidebooks offered even more.
