Another what inverter question

[Bigjohnny5]

hi all
I have recently had the loan of a small Clarke inverter welder and it's now time to get one of my own so it's come down the a choice of two

Thermal arc 175se or the Clarke AT132

Both around the £200 mark
Any thoughts please ?

Thermal arc.

Got a Thermal Arc 175se a few months back after much research. Best welder I've ever used, and I started back in 1979.

My first inverter was a Wolf 200 TIG I gave it to my mate when I got the AC/DC Stahlwerk TIG The Wolf comes in at about £200 has HF start also has a gas solenoid, comes with a TIG torch. is switchable between TIG and stick. As for the machine it worked pretty well indeed. Only complaint being the earth lead and stinger lead were VERY short. Dead easy to stick on longer cables though.
