I have a Clarke Welder. Its 220v and MIG,
I'm actually making my SPU car entirely with it. As said above any idiot can do it. I watched amateurs like my dad try and his first weld was perfect! Maybe a gift or maybe you just cant screw up!

If your looking for a clarke try weldingdepot.com They are quite cheap and the factory is very helpful with technical issues and replacement parts which all seem to be covered under the warranty.

As for lincoln lets just say the pro's take Miller 3:1 over lincoln.

Personally I feel I made a mistake buying MIG and would like a Tig now but I feel I would loose too much money by trading up
Life sucks
