Bought one about a year ago second hand for quite a good price, in really good condition but not well maintained, gave it a good clean and serviced the torch etc and so far have no complaints at all.

It has a parweld 4m torch and I made a new 4m earth lead for it. The original was a bit short for what I needed.

Main use is car bodywork but have also used it on 6mm plate & made roof trusses for a mates garage & also done a set of gates.

Only little niggle with it is the fan is quite noisy, works ok but rattles quite a bit, £15 from clarke so not really a major problem. Dont know if this is a common fault with them.

All in all a good welder for the money.

I have one, works a treat. Runs very quiet and welds lovely with mix gas.
