SWP 150 Turbo, any good?

[keekster]

I've been using a little Clark 100E for 20 years for my car hobby. Still works fine having been used to build 4 or 5 cars. Replaced the liner, and a few other bits and bobs over the years. But the lack of power means its a bit limiting to thin body panels, rather than fabrication. The SWP welders seem good particularly the 170amp model, but I think thats a bit overkill for hobby purposes, plus its over £300. Has anyone bought the 150 Turbo.

Seems a nice step up from the Clark, for very reasonable money. But is the build quality on a par with my little Clarke, because its been very reliable over the years? Or should I just buy a more powerful Clark one?
Thanks

Thanks. I'm thinking of going for the Clarke 135te. Runs off 13amp plug unlike the swp, and can still go down to 30amp output. Seems a sensible upgrade for fair money.
