Clarke MIG 90EN

Guys,
Been checking out the Clarke migs on machine mart website today - apparently this one goes from 24A-90A.
Thinking it might be suitable for the sill/body work on my car.
Anybody used one?If so what do you reckon?

That will be fine for body work. Should be good up to about 2mm.

The Clarke units are good; I have the 130EN. Have had no big problems with it (only problems I created.)

The 90EN works well - nice welder. It's only really comfortable to 1.5mm though will do 2mm at a push, so not so great for chassis work but OK for body.

Personally I'd go a little bit higher and go for a 130 amp welder for automotive. That'll allow overlap welding of modern chassis which the 90 wouldn't.

Thanks guys - would it handle sills ok?
I'm was thinking it would do for the work i've got on my sills and floorpans mostly.

It should handle sills OK, just it's a little lightweight. My friend with the 90 keeps talking about upgrading to something a little beefier. Anything over 1.5mm in the real world and it's not going to up to the job. Will knock the spots off your Wolf, but it's a shame if you are changing not to get something that won't need upgrading again.
