What MIG welder?
Discussion
Oh ok, that's good to know. Thank you gents for the reassurance.
One more question: I only have a normal ring main supplying the garage, with what looks like 4mm flex. Is this going to be a problem with the amount of current the MIG will be drawing? Blowing fuses on the main board, etc..
Cheers

If you're only welding 3mm are you really going to be using the 150A setting? I always find it overkill for anything that thick, that setting's rated for 6mm+ if I remember rightly.
Mine also runs fine from a standard socket as long as there isn't much load from anything else, and runs for 15+ minutes on the 2nd-highest setting without tripping out.
The only negative I would say is that it doesn't have a eurotorch fitting, although retrofit kits are available for not much. Haven't found it needs one yet though, the torch is decent.

What is the advantage of a euro torch? I've googled it, but only comes up with how to do the conversion, not why..Just a quickie.
Which of these two is better?

Obviously the Sealey is brand new. But the Clarke has one/two more power settings than the Sealey.
Assuming the Clarke auction ends roughly the same price, would it be a better buy?
Many thanks
