Best Earth clamp for 151

[Shaggy33]

Just bought a 151 (had originally ordered a 90 but decided for another £40 I may as well get something a bit more beefy

I read somewhere on here that one of the first things to do is replace the earth clamp and leads, is this correct? If so any advice on which one to go for.
Had a look on ebay but all look the same to me

I replaced the earth lead and clamp on mine because the one that comes with it isn't very long, and the clamp was a bit rubbishy.
A 200A one like this should suit you fine:

It will go on the standard lead okay, but if you think you need a longer lead, now's the time to change it. Depends on what you do; usual advice is to fit the earth clamp right close to the job, but sometimes on vehicle work this isn't always possible. Always use replacement lead as thick or thicker than the original, never thinner. I used an old HD lorry battery jump lead on mine!

This type of clamp below are supposed to be the best possible, but to be honest I've never used one with a hobby welder, and they are perhaps a bit overkill for home work:

That's a good offer as it will have the right size lugs properly fitted and just bolt on in place of the original one.
