im thinking of upgrading my crappy sip130 gasless/gas welder with this one from machine mart:

with the vat free day ill get it £350.
Ive had a read through this site about welder reviews and seems that this may be of poorer quality than say a butters version around the same price. Also the butters comes with a euro torch although i dont know what the benefits are over the clarke one.

My old welder had a leaky gas solonoid and i dont wanna spend money on it tbh cos i may as well change the liner at the same time so will cost a few quid anyway, im thinking the money s better spent on a n upgrade.

I want to use the welder on my landrover discovery boot floor and was especially interested in the spot weld function on the clarke welder to weld the floor in. Anyone used this function before? I am also toying with the idea to make my own HD front and rear bumpers and rock sliders so would have to be pretty meety to deal with 5mm steel box sections and perhaps some roll bar sections as well.

Hope you can help me spend my hard earned money wisely!
