Hi All,
After many years of faithful service my old Sealey MightyMig130XT has died. I've spoken to Sealey and spares are no longer available, so I looks as if I'm in the market for a replacement.
Looking at the what is available to me locally, I've come up with these possibilities:
I'm only going to use it for automotive welding, probably up to 4-5mm thicknesses, and TBH, I don't think I have ever used the full capacity of my old 130XT, so I'm wandering if the Rockworth or the Clarke110E would suffice? Failing that, perhaps the Clarke135TE?
I know I could probably get a better deal, if I were to buy online, but I'm in the middle of a project, and don't want the hassle of mail order.
I've not bought a welder in 10 years, or so, so I was wandering what the (current) general feeling was regarding these models.
TIA
cheers
Paul
