Which welder?

[Nathan]

Buying a MIG welder soon. im not sure whether to get a clarke 151Te turbo gas or a SIP weldmate 150 gas?
which one would you get?

I like the clarke because it has a long handle and wheels.

thanks

I don't have either, but based on comments on this forum I would go for the Clarke. Send a PM to Weldequip on this forum - he is a Clarke agent and will probably beat MMs prices. He will definitely beat their levels of customer service and advice (I speak from experience on that one).

Regards

I'd go for the Clarke as well, regard the long handle and wheels as a bonus!

Me three! I started out with the old version of the Clarke 160. That's got a bottle shelf to attach a big gas bottle and a regulator too. Bottle shelf would be handy - no point paying for all those disposable bottles.
