Seen either of these advertised local to me, both exactly same price (cheap ) second hand.
If they were both in same condition, which would be the better buy?
The Sealey?
I'll be mainly using it for a kit car project which is mostly 1.6mm RHS, but I laso have some 2.5mm box that I need to weld, and also the odd bit of bodywork to do. There's also the general repair stuff that pops up
I know that Clarke get the best writeup in the hobby bracket from Weldequip, but are we talking two different categories here?
I presume the 150EN is predecessor to the 151EN which is top of the Clarke 'hobby/DIY' range, and so comparable Sealey's would be in the MightyMIG range?
I thought the SuperMIG range was the next level up and so the 170/1 would be close to bottom of the industrial range, but still maybe a better unit than the Clarke?
