EU2000i & Backwoods Welding

welders have high surges, not good for generators, my elim can do 22 amp sustained and using a 15amp craftsman welder, i pop the breaker enough to be annoying

Do welders have wattage?

I've never used a welder with my Honda 2000i.

I have tried to use it with a 110v air compressor, different power tools (circular saw, vacuum cleaner, drill..etc). For most of these I had to hook up my second Honda 2000i in parallel to avoid an overload shutdown.

I'm guessing it would be the same with a small welder.
