I cannot believe ther is nowhere within a reasonable distance from you who can supply you with a MIG welder. If by garages you mean a money making business, the welder will be a money making investment which your accountant should offset against the business. Buy a quality welder and it will last for years.

Ha money making in theory! You try to convince my old man to spend more than 450 euro on a welder! In fairness we have 2 other stick welders and a large tig welder so it's really only for mot patches so the Clarke copes perfectly
