I've had my Snap-On 130 Turbo for over 20 years now, and while I'm happy with the results it produces I'm sort of thinking of changing it. Why? Well, I like the idea of having a eurotorch for the longer reach and better range of consumables, and while I have an arc set (Clarke 160 Turbo) which I occasionally use, if I had a MIG which would take 1mm wire for the jobs I do I could get shot of the arc and have room for a physically bigger MIG set. I was thinking of converting my Snap-On to a Euro, but eneded up thinking that spending £90-ish converting it was false economy and I'd be better off changing it.
So, does anyone have any recommendations for a new set? Haven't really got a fixed budget in mind, has to be 240V single phase but I could get a 16-amp socket fitted in the garage if it needed it. I like the look of this GYS SmartMIG 162 from Weldequip as it appears terrific value for money, does anyone have any experience of them?
Oh, this will be for DIY/hobby use, mainly mild steel but some stainless work, would be nice if I could try ali again too.
