Paton 160 vs Rtsch 151

[Tombaloid]

Hi all

I am looking to teach myself to weld in the hopes of working on rusty cars, and have been looking on the forums for advice.


I seem to have narrowed it down to the R Tech 151 or the Paton 160 (for 13A plug)

The R tech seems handy to learn on as it helps you set up the settings, however I wondered if anyone has any further thoughts?

Rtech 181 I presume.

Yes, my mistake sorry!

The Paton looks like the best deal with the lift Tig but the practicalities of having to remove glove, multiple button presses to change current, glove back on might put me off a bit.
I have the RTech 180 and I think I would buy another if need be.
