Hi there, Looking to pickup my first Mig,
I’ve read quite a few post and the rtech’s have caught my eye but also some comments have been off putting.
So currently looking at the Paton StandardMIG 200 and the Lincoln Bester 200-S
The Paton is around £610 where’s I can get the Bester for sub £500
What would you go for and why. Cost is a big driver for me but I’d spend the money if ifs deemed worth it.
Use will be predominantly for car repair (body & chassis) but also for odd jobs around the place like fixing gates. In the back of my mind I’m thinking I should also look at 250amp machines.. but not sure I can stretch to that and if that will compromise me when it comes to body repair.
Any advice welcome.
