Hi
Im looking at getting my first welder. Saw an Esab power compact 160 for sale and was wondering if anyone had any experience with them. I know that Esab is a good brand but I would be buying it second hand and can't find much about them online (the power compact 160). The compact 160 is a mig welder but I was also thinking about the new Esab rebel arc/tig welder. It is new from a store so easier to return. Is it worth using a mig because it's easier or is it worth spending more time to become good at tig. In the end they would probably cost about the same.
Thanks
here is the power compact 160
