Hi Guys,
Been looking for a gas mig welder for a while now, and having used friends Clarke models (up to 160), I have been happy with this brand.
Although the 160 may well be all I would need, I don't want to limit myself too much with power and regret it later down the line. I will be mainly doing body work with the odd thick metal for chassis work. One day I would eventually like to get into hot rods, 'Z' chassis' etc, so hopefully this mig would be okay for this type of work?
Machine mart have vat free at the moment and the Clarke 175 seems like a good balance of power and cost to me, but can't find too many reviews on this model. What are your thoughts?
I've seen a few people mention about cheaper chinese clarke models...is this one of them?
Thanks in advance for your replies.
