[blaster1993]

[blaster99]

[TopTechKid27]

it looks like a european esab, which if it is easb is a good brand. if anything do what 99 said ....i got one for sale.

 

[Blasterb0y794]

Go with a lincoln or miller. Hands down best out there.

 

[TopTechKid27]

ok i looked it up and turns out i was wrong its not an esab, but a chinese made welder. idk if i would get it but hey i could be wrong again and it could be pretty good.

 

[Blasterb0y794]

You get what you pay for. From experience I will never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever buy a chinese pos.

 

[joser1993]

if i were u i would go to harbor freight tools they have good welders for cheap great for projects

dont get a welder unless it's miller, mac tools, lincoln electric, or my favorite Hobart. and you can get Hobart welders decently cheap at tractor supply company.
and just so you know. i'm a mechanic on road tractors (log trucks) and 80% of what i do is welding on stacks and the log trailers. Hobart is the best you can buy

Hey guy's, I don't think they have a tractor supply in Ireland. 93 I would agree try to find a name brand machine. That way you cand get tech help and parts for it.

 

[kingman14]

sorry didn't notice he was across the big water lol

Def. get a miller I got a millermatic 210. Absolutly love it, i use to have a hobart doesn't even compare. Miller then go with a lincolin. Parts if you do need them are way more accesable. Just remember your welds will be only as good as the machine can do..
