Sure.
Also known in industry as "dual shield" this can be used on the basic "china electric" welders and up to the real pro machines. Makes for smoother welds and enables vertical up and horizontal welds with less spatter.
I recommend it, whenever possible.

(beware of regulator-to-bottle fitting surface leaks on the china-electric machines as the machining on the brass reg fitting is sometimes below basic and cannot be fixed/remedied except by "basic"reg replacement.)
