always wondered if is is worth the hassel?
I converted to a Parweld SB250 Euro torch on my SIP Weldmate (I know, but the wire feed has been absolutely fine ) and the difference was like night and day compared with the hobby-style torch it came with, it absolutely transformed the machine (not that it had been a bad one to start with). I found that it also improved my welding, simply because the heavier Euro torch made it much easier to keep my welding hand steady, a bit like using a big, professional camera after a compact/point-and-shoot jobbie.

just thought I would ask as I never really had any issues with the POS (ie sip) torch or spares... (The rest of the welder ...well nothing needs to be said does it).
While I would agree decent euro are nicer, I would sooner spend the extra on a better welder with one already fitted.... as you are still dealing with the same basic beast underneath & another £100-150 puts you into the next bracket machine wise.
Can you fit euro torches to the clarke welders?
