Hi all first post be kind
I've been looking at;
Clarke 135 TE (Tubro*)
Clarke 151 TE (Turbo*)
Clarke 160 TM (Turbo)
I am mainly looking at Clarke because I can pick them up easily from local shops (I like face to face interaction) if you could recommend any other similarly priced and easily sought out brands that would be great! I want to use it mainly for making bits and bobs and working my way up to things like go kart frames or larger. I don't think I will need to be welding any thick steel together any time soon and I also do not have the space or equipment to lift anything non manually.
From what I have read on these forums the Clarkes seem to be well liked. I am mainly looking at the 151, I have been told I will need a 30 amp socket and a £60 adaptor kit to get rid of annoying replaceable gas cylinders does this sound about right? Also what other basic start up kit would you recommend?
Any thoughts or experience with these welders would be helpful.
Also could anyone point out the differences between the 151 and the 160?
