if all you want is 100w (which is nice to know cos i just want one for bodywork) i been looking at something like

dont go gasless it's not worth it! i personally would go for the first one as it's more powerful so will come in handy if you ever want to fab up some bumpers etc. i'm not sure on the quality of kende though, not sure if i've even heard of them I would look out for a second hand bargain, I picked up my snap on for £400 it had hardly been used and was £1200 new

Fair point. Prob be cheaper for a tank of petrol and pop to Bath where an experienced sj welder can do it for you instead

[ScottieJ]

thats a good point, must change my location, i'm not in bath anymore not far up road though!

77.7 miles to corsham an hour straight down the M4 get a rear arch knocked up ready

tihnk i might just get the welder the drive to bath from mine isnt yhe best in the sj
on the welder i was def going gas ive tried gasless didnt think it was that good i found this 1 this morn think i might go for it. http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/shop/clarke-130en.htm

[ScottieJ]

yeah that looks like a good little mig, cant really go wrong with clarke! 4mm is pretty much the limit for a 130amp so it will be fine for making bumpers etc.

[ROBBIE]

i think thats the 1 im going for just got to convince the wife to go that bit higher

[parrotveasey81]

this one would be better but they only take the small bottols of gas,would be fine for bumpers without recovery points!!
