Clarke 160tm mig welder

[BILLY ADDERY]

HI EVERYONE AND A MERRY XMAS, I HAVE NEVER DONE ANY WELDING IN MY LIFE BUT RELY ON FRIENDS AND FAMILY FOR ANY SMALL JOBS ON MOTORCYCLE RESTORATION PROJECTS I HAVE UNDERTAKEN IN THE PAST. I AM GOING TO TREAT MYSELF AND BUY MY FIRST MIG WELDER AND DO THE JOBS MYSELF. AFTER LOOKING ON THIS FABULOUS WEBSITE AND READING COMMENTS THE 160TM SEEMS A GOOD BUY. I HAVE GOOGLED AND FOUND IT FOR £259 FROM WILSTAR MARKETING IN SURBITON www.wilstar.co.uk . HAS ANYONE USED THESE AND ARE THEY WORTHWHILE. CAN ANYONE SUGGEST ANY OTHER SUPPLIERS AND ANY INFORMATION AS TO WHAT ELSE I NEED OR ANY USEFUL DVD'S REGARDING BASIC WELDING. MANY THANKS BILL.

As oilccoled has said contact a forum member called "Weldequip" there a quicklink at the top of the page, but he's not back until 4th Jan, you can order and pay today and still only pay 15% vat. He provides the best customer service you'll ever come across. And you'll possibly be able to collect it as he is in Colne.

PS: turn your caps lock off, please.

I bought a 160tm from weldequip a few weeks back, you will pay more than the price you quoted but his service is worth that little bit more. I bought everything I needed from him as I'm in the same boat as you, he managed to find some very small welding gloves for me too which fit my tiny hands a treat.

Good luck

That Wilstar price is +VAT so Weldequip comes in a smidge cheaper.

Thanks for all the info on Weldequipe and being localish could possibly go for a chat and advice. Thanks and I will update on my purchase and my projects. Happy New Year to all. Billy.

I`ve known Ray over at Wilstar for years, and can assure you you`ll have no problems with after sales service. Your right in saying those prices are ex-vat, but with that promotion he`ll throw in an auto dark helmet at half price too. Might level out the price again.

But if weldequip is closer and you can try things out first, i guess it goes both ways

Hi Bill, I have used the 160EN for over a year now. Been very happy with it!!! Used it on everything from sills to ironing boards and cooking rings (Strange what comes in at times)

I am sure you will be very very happy with the machine, and I can vouch for Steve (Weldequip) service, he provided some spares for my machine last time I abused it too much.

If you get stuck, need a pointer or fancy a brew (bring a cup) pop round, you cant be too far away
