Oh IV also scrapped the 150 one it's duty cycle is discussing
That welder is near enough exactly the same as the one I'm buying same price to

same one I'm guessing?
Looks like a much better bet than the dirty pro - obviously the IGBT inverter might fail, but hopefully it should either fail straight away under warranty, or last years.
The best thing is that it has a proper euro torch connection, a gas solenoid for regular MIG, and an easy polarity reversal for using flux core wire. I'd be interested to see how it welded on flux core.
UK made
The black line one needs a 30 amp supply thats why i didnt get one
No not the dirty pro this onesame as the dirty pro one?
I think it's pretty different, no euro torch connector, no dinso (or whatever it's called) connector for the earth lead (so you can't easily wap to a different torch / new earth lead)... it also makes me question the build quality of it... if they're not happy to spend the extra fiver on the standard connectors ?
is the diry pro an inverter welder? - the wheels make me think it's heavy so transformer based? - inverter based is much better in my experience
thing is... you get what you pay for... trick is to try and get as much for your money as possible... mine was £180, I treat is almost as disposable, I've used mine enough to get my monies worth out of it a few times over, if it goes bank there's no real loss for me (vs buying an expensive welder and trying to fix it)
I'll take some photos of mine if you want?
This is one im going to get just gotta scratch another 30 quid togetherhttps://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/blackline-tools-mig-200.66857/

The dirty pro is an transformer the black line is an inverter yeah please that would be good and the quality of the dirty pro is a joke tbh
